- Importing a saved article or PDF into a personal knowledge vault
- SKILL.md covers 核心工作流：Inbox & Archive, 触发逻辑, 编译流水线 and 冲突处理流程, plus 1 more section
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Treats a `raw/` folder as an inbox of unprocessed markdown articles, papers and PDFs, and a `wiki/` folder as the compiled output, split into source summaries, entities (people, companies, tools, products) and concepts (frameworks, methodologies, theories). Running `/ingest` scans every unarchived file in `raw/`, while `/ingest <path>` processes just one, and the archive folder itself is never read.
For each file, the agent reads it, extracts a one- or two-sentence gist plus its entities and concepts, translates non-Chinese content into Chinese, writes a source summary page, and then creates or incrementally merges an entity or concept page for each item found. A detected conflict between new and existing knowledge pauses the run and asks you to choose between keeping both versions, overwriting, or abandoning that item, before the global index and an append-only log are updated and the source file is finally moved into the archive.
When your agent uses it
- Importing a saved article or PDF into a personal knowledge vault
- Processing everything waiting in the raw inbox folder at once
- Turning a video transcript into linked entity and concept notes
- Resolving a conflict between new material and an existing vault page
Example prompts
- “请把这篇文章完整摄入到我的知识库里。”
- “/ingest raw/02-papers/attention-is-all-you-need.pdf”
- “Run /ingest and process everything waiting in the inbox.”
Requirements
- An Obsidian vault with the raw/ and wiki/ folder structure already set up
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 用户执行 /ingest：扫描 raw/ 所有子目录（排除 09-archive/），找出待处理文件。
- 用户执行 /ingest ：仅处理指定文件。
- 隐式触发：用户说"把这个资料摄入知识库"、"导入这篇文章"时，自动执行 ingest。
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 18f4e71. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Obsidian Vault Ingest Pipeline loads about 669 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 159 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 159 words (~669 tokens).
