| description | Turn rough notes, a transcript, or a URL of a talk/video/book/article/paper into a polished source note in the Obsidian vault's 05 SOURCES. Use when the user says "summarize this talk/video/book/article for my wiki", dumps watch/read notes, shares a YouTube link to digest — and also on wiki-free phrasings like "I just watched/read/finished…", "great talk about X", "notes from the conference". Updates the concept pages the source touches. |

Wiki summarize
Vault: /Users/volodymyr.pivoshenko/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Vault
Rough input -> polished source note. The user dumps; this skill structures.
Flow
- Read vault
CLAUDE.md + INDEX.md first.
- Gather: user notes as the base. URL given -> fetch page/transcript for metadata + gaps. User notes win over fetched content on emphasis — summarize what they found valuable.
- New note in
05 SOURCES/ from 99 TEMPLATES/Source.md. Filename = clean title of the source, Title Case.
- Shape (proven by existing notes — match it exactly):
## Source — speaker/author + link## Summary — 2–4 sentence overview## Key Insights — bullets, **Bold insight title**. Explanation form, substance over count## References — books/tools/links mentioned, only if any
- Frontmatter:
type: source, source_type: talk|book|article|video|paper, url, author, dates, tags. rating only if user gave a verdict.
- Distill: update EVERY existing concept page this source touches — new info goes into the page, contradictions flagged inline (
> [!warning] Contradicts ...). New concepts worth keeping -> stubs in 02 PERMANENT NOTES. Wikilink all of them from the insights.
- Duties: INDEX.md + LOG.md + report.
Rules
- Don't pad. Thin source -> short note. Never invent insights not in the material.
- Long book -> insights grouped by theme, still one note.
- Same source already in INDEX.md -> update existing note instead.
