What it does
Cognitive Compile is an agent skill from Mark393295827/third-brain-v7-skills. Use when source material must be transformed into a compact, evidence-aware model for learning, decisions, or an Obsidian concept note.
Its SKILL.md is about 1000 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Knowledge Management. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: agent wiki +engineering skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Source material must be transformed into a compact
- Evidence-aware model for learning
- An Obsidian concept note
Example prompts
- “/cognitive-compile”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Original question — the problem the material helps answer.
- Key facts — source-grounded claims with locators when available.
- Concepts and entities — stable terms worth linking.
- Patterns — mechanisms, feedback loops, or recurring structures.
- Conflicts — contradictions with the source, prior knowledge, or internal claims.
- Hypotheses — falsifiable interpretations, explicitly labeled.
- Decision support — options, tradeoffs, and what the evidence changes.
- Action — one bounded next test, note, or decision.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a64514. 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.
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
Cognitive Compile loads about 998 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 436 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.

Cognitive Compile
<skill_contract>
<input>Source-grounded material, original question, learning or decision goal, audience, and destination.</input>
<output>An eight-part evidence-aware mental model separating facts, mechanisms, conflicts, hypotheses, decisions, and action.</output>
<done>Each material claim retains provenance and uncertainty, and one bounded next action answers the original question.</done>
<non_goals>Inventing missing claims, erasing contradictions or provenance, or treating interpretation as source fact.</non_goals>
Compile information into a decision-ready mental model. Compression must preserve provenance, uncertainty, contradiction, and the original question.
Usage Template
Provide: source material, original question, intended decision or learning goal, and preferred destination. Optional: existing wiki concepts to compare.
Workflow
<intake>Identify the source boundary, original question, audience, and required fidelity. Label direct source claims, external facts, and analyst inferences before synthesis.
</intake><unknowns_gate>
If the source is inaccessible, truncated, or missing the material needed to answer the question, return INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE. Ask one probe only when its answer changes the compile structure; otherwise proceed with explicit unknowns.
</unknowns_gate>
<execute>Produce eight compact sections:
- Original question — the problem the material helps answer.
- Key facts — source-grounded claims with locators when available.
- Concepts and entities — stable terms worth linking.
- Patterns — mechanisms, feedback loops, or recurring structures.
- Conflicts — contradictions with the source, prior knowledge, or internal claims.
- Hypotheses — falsifiable interpretations, explicitly labeled.
- Decision support — options, tradeoffs, and what the evidence changes.
- Action — one bounded next test, note, or decision.
Prefer one durable concept note over several thin notes. Preserve source links or block references; do not rewrite immutable source notes.
</execute><evaluate>Verify that every material conclusion traces to evidence or is labeled inference; the original question is answered; contradictions remain visible; and the action follows from the model. Remove summaries that merely restate the source without changing understanding.
</evaluate>Show full SKILL.md (147 more words)Show less
Failure Protocol
NEEDS_INPUT: the intended question or audience is absent and materially changes the output.INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE: the source cannot support the requested compile.VERIFY_FAILED: a conclusion lacks traceable evidence; downgrade it to hypothesis or remove it.
Output Contract
Return status, result (the eight-section compile), evidence (source locators), unknowns, and next_action.
Edge Cases
- Two sources disagree: preserve both claims, compare evidence quality, and state what observation could resolve the conflict.
- The source is mostly opinion: compile mechanisms and assumptions, but do not promote assertions into facts.
Success Metrics
- The result answers one explicit question with traceable evidence.
- Facts, conflicts, and hypotheses are distinguishable at a glance.
- At least one decision or test becomes clearer.
Quality Gates
- Source boundary and provenance are explicit.
- All eight sections are present or marked not applicable with reason.
- No hypothesis is phrased as established fact.
- The next action is bounded and verifiable.
