What it does

Siyuan Sisyphus Database is an agent skill from yangtaihong59/siyuan-plugins-mcp-sisyphus. CLI-only playbook for SiYuan attribute views with siyuan-sisyphus. Use to inspect database metadata, render views, add columns or rows, update cells, and keep AV, view, row, column, and block IDs distinct.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 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

  • Inspect database metadata
  • Block IDs distinct

Example prompts

  • “/siyuan-sisyphus-database”

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 Database loads about 480 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~480

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 SiYuan attribute views with siyuan-sisyphus. Use to inspect database metadata, render views, add columns or rows, update cells, and keep AV, view, row, column, and block IDs distinct.

Operate SiYuan Databases with the CLI

Never guess attribute-view identifiers. Inspect the AV and its views before changing rows or cells.

bash
siyuan-sisyphus av get --av-id '<av-id>' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus av render --av-id '<av-id>' --page '1' --page-size '50' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus av search --keyword 'project' --json

Keep these identifiers distinct: AV ID identifies the database; view ID identifies a table/board view; row ID identifies a key value; column ID identifies a key; block ID identifies note content.

Mutations

bash
siyuan-sisyphus av add-column --av-id '<av-id>' --key-name 'Status' --key-type 'select' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus av add-rows --av-id '<av-id>' --view-id '<view-id>' --block-ids-json '["<block-id>"]' --json
bash
siyuan-sisyphus av set-cells --av-id '<av-id>' --cells-json '[{"rowID":"<row-id>","columnID":"<column-id>","valueType":"text","text":"Done"}]' --json

Before writing cells, render the current view and map column names to column IDs. Preserve the declared value type; do not put a date-shaped string into a number/date/select column without using the action’s expected value shape. Re-render after mutation. Read siyuan-sisyphus help av set-cells for the current cell schema.

Treat a successful mutation response as provisional until the same view and affected rows/cells are read back. Keep the render and readback paginated, continue while more data is advertised, and compare the intended cell values by stable row and column IDs. A raw MCP or CLI success message does not establish that strict-write coordination or complete readback occurred.
