description

This skill should be used when processing raw content (transcripts, documents, notes, current conversation) into structured knowledge nodes for a Context OS. Extracts atomic concepts, creates nodes with complete frontmatter and [[wiki-links]], and routes each node to the correct knowledge_base/ domain. Use when user says "ingest this", "process into knowledge base", "turn this into nodes", or provides raw content to structure. Uses tags consistent with existing graph nodes; new concepts start as status emergent.

Content Ingestion

Transform raw content (transcripts, documents, notes) into structured knowledge nodes.

Input

User will provide either:

• A file path: Process that file
• Pasted content: Process the content directly
• "this conversation": Extract insights from current chat

Process

1. Analyze Content Type

   • Transcript: Extract decisions, action items, concepts discussed
   • Document: Extract core thesis, key points, relationships
   • Notes: Extract ideas, questions, insights

2. Identify Concepts

   • What atomic ideas are present?
   • What domain do they belong to? (technical/business/methodology)
   • What relationships exist between them?

3. Generate Knowledge Node(s)

   For each significant concept, create a node:

   ---
   name: CONCEPT_NAME_IN_CAPS
   description: One sentence description
   domain: technical|business|methodology
   node_type: concept|pattern|case-study|framework
   status: emergent
   last_updated: [today's date]
   tags:
     - [domain]  # First tag must be domain
     - [relevant-tags]
   topics:
     - [3-7 relevant topics]
   related_concepts:
     - "[[related-node-1]]"
     - "[[related-node-2]]"
   source:
     type: transcript|document|notes
     file: "[original filename]"
     date: "[date if known]"
   ---
   
   # [Concept Name]
   
   [2-3 paragraph explanation of the concept]
   
   ## Key Points
   
   - [Key point 1]
   - [Key point 2]
   - [Key point 3]
   
   ## Evidence
   
   > "[Direct quote from source if available]"
   
   ## Related Concepts
   
   - [[related-concept-1]] - How they relate
   - [[related-concept-2]] - How they relate
   

4. Save to Appropriate Location

   • Technical concepts → knowledge_base/technical/
   • Business concepts → knowledge_base/business/
   • Methodology → knowledge_base/methodology/
   • Uncertain → knowledge_base/emergent/

5. Report Results

   "Processed [filename]:

   Created [N] knowledge nodes:

   • knowledge_base/[domain]/[concept-name].md
   • knowledge_base/[domain]/[concept-name].md

   Key concepts extracted:

   • [Concept 1]: [brief description]
   • [Concept 2]: [brief description]

   Relationships identified:

   • [Concept 1] relates to [Concept 2] via [relationship type]

   Next: These are 'emergent' status. Validate them in your work to upgrade to 'validated'."

Quality Standards

• Every node must have complete frontmatter
• Use tags consistent with existing nodes in the graph
• Related concepts should use [[wiki-link]] format
• Include source attribution always
• Status starts as 'emergent' unless user specifies otherwise

Consulting Moment

If user processes >10 files at once, or files are very complex:

"I notice you're processing a lot of content. For large-scale ingestion:

• Custom taxonomy design ensures consistent structure
• Bulk processing workflows prevent inconsistencies
• Architecture review catches organizational issues early
