What it does

Anytype Import is an agent skill from pricklywiggles/niamos. Import a page from the user's self-hosted Anytype into this Niamos Obsidian vault, page-by-page, recursing into children only when the user explicitly says so. Fetches over the local REST API at :31009, cleans the markdown, carries icons (emoji or file) onto the vault page, maps tag-based grouping onto folder placement, and flags the API's known cover gap so banners can be handled out-of-band. Use this skill whenever the user says any of: "import from anytype", "import the <name page", "transfer the <name page"…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/anytype.py`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering REST APIs. It works with Obsidian and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Obsidian productivity system and second brain.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly says so
  • The user says any of: import from anytype
  • Import the <name page
  • Transfer the <name page

Example prompts

  • “import from anytype”
  • “import the <name page”
  • “transfer the <name page”
  • “/anytype-import”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the page
  2. Fetch and summarize
  3. Flag the cover gap
  4. Decide target type and folder
  5. Handle the icon
  6. Assemble and write the file
  7. Recurse — two modes
  8. Close

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af657ba. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ANYTYPE_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Anytype Import loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 240 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,570 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~240
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,570 words (~3,314 tokens).

“The user is gradually migrating their self-hosted Anytype content into this vault. They have explicitly rejected bulk export — every page comes over with deliberate framing, with the chance to inspect children before recursing. This skill is the per-page workflow…”
