CLI-only playbook for creating and editing SiYuan documents and blocks with siyuan-sisyphus.

  • Path-based document creation
  • SKILL.md covers Protected writes and readback, Create documents, Edit blocks and Metadata and daily notes
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Block append/insert/update

What it does

Siyuan Sisyphus Create Edit is an agent skill from yangtaihong59/siyuan-plugins-mcp-sisyphus. CLI-only playbook for creating and editing SiYuan documents and blocks with siyuan-sisyphus. Use for path-based document creation, block append/insert/update, metadata, daily notes, and verified edits.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Note-taking. 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

  • Path-based document creation
  • Block append/insert/update

Example prompts

  • “/siyuan-sisyphus-create-edit”

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 Create Edit loads about 708 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~708

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.

Create and Edit SiYuan Content with the CLI

Read the target first, choose the highest-level action that preserves intent, perform one bounded change, then read it again.

Protected writes and readback

For a mutation covered by strict safe writes, call the same action and business arguments with validateOnly=true, use the returned precondition field, and submit the server-issued requestId. Never invent or recycle a hash credential. After the write, reread the exact stable ID or resolved path with enough bounded fields to prove the intended change and continue until the response is complete.

If the connection fails after execution may have started, or the result says outcome_unknown or readback_mismatch, do not retry with a new request ID. Inspect the target and resolve the outcome first. A CLI command, raw MCP payload, or Agent-generated call is not by itself evidence that this coordinator path or its guarantees applied; use the current safety response and runtime help.

Create documents

Use a workspace path for convenient path-based creation:

bash
siyuan-sisyphus fs write --path '/Notebook/Project/Notes' --markdown '# Notes

Initial content.' --json

Use a notebook ID plus notebook-local hpath when low-level control is needed:

bash
siyuan-sisyphus document create --notebook '<notebook-id>' --path '/Project/Notes' --markdown '# Notes' --json

Do not include the notebook name in the low-level hpath.

Edit blocks

bash
siyuan-sisyphus block append --parent-id '<doc-id>' --data-type 'markdown' --data '## New section

Paragraph.' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus block insert --previous-id '<block-id>' --data-type 'markdown' --data 'Inserted paragraph.' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus block update --id '<block-id>' --data-type 'markdown' --data 'Replacement block content.' --json

Use block update only when replacing the whole block is intended. Prefer a scoped replacement for a small textual change:

bash
siyuan-sisyphus block replace --id '<block-id>' --edit-json '{"old":"draft","new":"final"}' --json

Metadata and daily notes

bash
siyuan-sisyphus block set-attrs --id '<block-id>' --attrs-json '{"custom-source":"agent"}' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus document create-daily-note --notebook '<notebook-id>' --json

Before rename, move, delete, or broad replacement, resolve the exact target, show the affected scope, and obtain approval. After every mutation, read by stable ID when possible. Use siyuan-sisyphus help block append when any parameter is uncertain.
