Obsidian Skills

A collection of skills for AI agents focused on Obsidian-style Markdown knowledge bases, personal wikis, source ingestion, note maintenance, and knowledge-management workflows.

Skills in this repository follow the Agent Skills format.

Available Skills

source-ingest-web-article

Ingest exactly one web article source into an Obsidian-style Markdown knowledge base or personal wiki, with source summaries, selective note updates, citations, contradiction tracking, index/log updates, and optional local article-image handling.

Use when:

• Ingesting one Markdown article capture, clipped web page, newsletter export, or article-like source file
• Creating or updating a source summary note
• Extracting claims, entities, concepts, dates, evidence, uncertainties, contradictions, and open questions from a web article
• Updating existing topic, entity, or concept notes only when the article materially affects them
• Localizing meaningful article images according to knowledge-base rules

Covers:

• One-source-at-a-time article ingest workflow
• Local knowledge-base rule discovery and precedence
• Portable source summary structure and citation guidance
• Selective topic-note update rules
• Contradiction, uncertainty, index, catalog, and ingest-log handling
• Image and asset localization rules for article captures

Included files:

• SKILL.md - agent instructions and workflow

Installation

Install this skill collection with the Agent Skills CLI:

npx skills add ankitgoyalio/obsidian-skills

Usage

Skills are automatically available once installed. The agent will load the full skill instructions only when a relevant task is detected.

source-ingest-web-article examples

Ingest this clipped article into my Obsidian vault: Sources/inbox/example.md

Create a source summary for this newsletter export and update any relevant topic notes

Process this web article capture, localize important images if my vault rules allow it, and update the source catalog

Skill Structure

Each skill directory contains:

• SKILL.md - required instructions and metadata for the agent
• scripts/ - optional helper scripts for deterministic checks or automation
• references/ - optional supporting documentation loaded only when needed

Keep SKILL.md focused and move detailed examples, long rule lists, and background material into references/ so agents can use context efficiently.

Contributing

When adding or changing a skill, update this README in the same change so the skill catalog, installation notes, and usage examples stay accurate.
