SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? External materials like papers, web pages, datasets, and interviews often end up scattered or inconsistently documented. This Skill turns them into structured, source-centered notes inside a project-scoped Obsidian knowledge base with consistent routing and registry updates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Source Type Routing: Routes materials into Sources/Papers, Sources/Web, Sources/Docs, Sources/Data, Sources/Interviews, or Sources/Notes based on content type. - Registry and Index Maintenance: Updates _system/registry.md for every new canonical source note and 02-Index.md for important sources. - Session Traceability: Appends a short note to today's Daily/ entry when a source arrives during an active work session. - Use Case: You find a research paper relevant to your project. The Skill creates a source-centered note in Sources/Papers with metadata, claims, methods, and limitations, then updates the registry and index. ## Quick Start Ingest this paper into my Obsidian knowledge base as a source note and update the registry.

Frequently Asked Questions about obsidian-source-ingestion

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a research paper to an Obsidian knowledge base?▼

Create a source-centered note under Sources/Papers including metadata, project relevance, summary, claims, methods, evidence, limitations, connections, and open questions. Then update _system/registry.md and, for important sources, 02-Index.md.

How do I organize different source types in Obsidian?▼

Route materials by type: papers go to Sources/Papers, web pages to Sources/Web, API docs and manuals to Sources/Docs, datasets to Sources/Data, interviews to Sources/Interviews, and loose notes to Sources/Notes.

What should a web source note in Obsidian contain?▼

A web source note should capture the URL, source type, summary, extracted claims, evidence snippets, project relevance, and follow-up questions. Keep it source-centered rather than synthesis-centered.

Should source notes in Obsidian include my own synthesis?▼

No. Source notes must remain source-centered, not synthesis-centered. They document what the source contains, its evidence, and its limitations, keeping interpretation separate from the canonical record.

What registry updates are needed when adding a source note?▼

Every new canonical source note must update _system/registry.md. Important sources should also update 02-Index.md, and sources arriving during an active work session should get a short note in today's Daily/ entry.
