| name | wiki-capture |
| description | Route anything into the Obsidian vault (second brain) — a thought, URL, concept, snippet, or the 00 INBOX backlog. Use when the user says "add to my wiki", "capture this", "note this down", "save to vault", "process my inbox" — and also on wiki-free phrasings like "jot this down", "remember this idea", "TIL", "interesting:", or whenever the user drops durable knowledge worth keeping. Files it under the right folder with template + frontmatter + wikilinks, updates INDEX.md and LOG.md. |

Wiki capture
Vault: /Users/volodymyr.pivoshenko/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Vault
Workhorse skill. Anything in -> right note out. No confirm for new notes; confirm before rewriting user-authored content.
Flow
- Read vault
CLAUDE.md (schema) + INDEX.md (catalog). Always. Conventions live there, not here.
- Classify the input -> note type -> folder:
- concept / evergreen idea ->
02 PERMANENT NOTES
- project info / decision ->
03 PROJECTS (or hand to wiki-project)
- investigation / open question ->
04 RESEARCH
- talk/book/article/video ->
05 SOURCES (or hand to wiki-summarize if it needs summarizing)
- blog/announcement idea ->
06 WRITING (or hand to wiki-write for a full draft)
- unclear + low effort -> dump to
00 INBOX, done
- Check INDEX.md: page already exists -> update it (merge, don't duplicate). Else new note from matching
99 TEMPLATES/ template.
- Fill frontmatter per the contract in vault CLAUDE.md.
created/updated = today.
- Wikilinks: link first mention of known concepts. Worthwhile new concept w/o page -> stub in
02 PERMANENT NOTES (frontmatter + one-line definition).
- Duties: INDEX.md entry + LOG.md line + bump
updated on touched notes.
- Report: what was filed where, stubs created.
Inbox processing
"process my inbox" -> for each file in 00 INBOX/: run flow steps 2–6, then delete the inbox file. Empty inbox = done. Ambiguous item -> ask, don't guess-file. End with a quick lint sanity pass (INDEX drift + dead links only).
Rules
- One concept per note. Plain descriptive filename, Title Case, no ID/date prefix.
- Existing page wins over new page. Grep (
rg) before creating.
- Never edit
01 DAILY NOTES retroactively. Never touch 98 ATTACHMENTS.
- Daily note mentions something durable -> extract to proper note, leave daily note untouched.
- Vault path missing on disk -> remote session: return a formatted paste-ready block, never recreate vault structure elsewhere.
