CLI-only playbook for browsing and reading SiYuan notes with siyuan-sisyphus.

  • Human-readable paths
  • SKILL.md covers Discovery workflow, Low-level reads and Path semantics
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Read-only discovery

What it does

Siyuan Sisyphus Browse Read is an agent skill from yangtaihong59/siyuan-plugins-mcp-sisyphus. CLI-only playbook for browsing and reading SiYuan notes with siyuan-sisyphus. Use for notebooks, document trees, human-readable paths, IDs, storage paths, block content, and read-only discovery.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: 一个用于连接Agent与Siyuan的工具. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Human-readable paths
  • Read-only discovery

Example prompts

  • “/siyuan-sisyphus-browse-read”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2ad534. 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 bash).

    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

Siyuan Sisyphus Browse Read loads about 738 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 252 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~738

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.

description
CLI-only playbook for browsing and reading SiYuan notes with siyuan-sisyphus. Use for notebooks, document trees, human-readable paths, IDs, storage paths, block content, and read-only discovery.

Browse and Read SiYuan with the CLI

Start with fs and human-readable paths. Drop to document or block actions only when IDs, storage paths, metadata, or block structure are required.

Discovery workflow

bash
siyuan-sisyphus notebook list --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus fs ls --path '/' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus fs tree --path '/Notebook/Folder' --max-depth '4' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus fs read --path '/Notebook/Folder/Doc' --block-start '0' --block-limit '50' --token-budget '2000' --json

Use search-assisted discovery when the path is unknown:

bash
siyuan-sisyphus fs search --path '/Notebook' --query 'keyword' --page '1' --page-size '20' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus search fulltext --query 'keyword' --page '1' --page-size '20' --json

Low-level reads

bash
siyuan-sisyphus document lookup --id '<doc-id>' --include-json '["path","hpath","notebook"]' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus document get-doc --id '<doc-id>' --mode 'markdown' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus block get-kramdown --id '<block-id>' --json

If the Markdown contains an assets/... image and the task depends on its visual content, a vision-capable client should read one relevant image directly:

bash
siyuan-sisyphus file read-image --id '<doc-id>' --path 'assets/question.png' --json

Provide either the document ID or its human-readable documentPath, never both. The server authorizes that document and verifies its direct image reference before returning an image content block. MCP clients receive the image directly; CLI default output shows metadata, while explicit --json retains the non-text block for scripts. Do not inline every image during ordinary document reads. Stored OCR is only a fallback when direct vision is unavailable.

Path semantics

ValueExampleTypical use
Workspace path/Notebook/Folder/Docfs actions
Notebook-local hpath/Folder/Docdocument create or lookup with notebook
Storage path/20260712123000-abc123.sylow-level rename, remove, or move

Never derive a storage path from a title. Resolve the document first and reuse the returned path. For fs.read and Markdown document.get_doc, treat hasNextWindow=true as incomplete data and continue with the returned nextWindow. For list and search results, continue with explicit page and pageSize values.

Discovery identifies candidates; it does not authorize a write. Before changing one result, reread it by stable ID or resolved path and record the exact target. If a read is incomplete, continue the bounded window or page sequence instead of deciding from a truncated response.
