SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning valuable context from a Claude conversation or a YouTube video into a durable, well-structured note in your Obsidian vault normally requires manual summarizing, formatting, and git operations. This Skill automates the whole pipeline: gathering the source content, drafting a note that matches the vault's conventions, and landing it in the marioplumbeer/obsidian GitHub repository through an approved pull request. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-source capture: Distill the current Claude session (decisions, code, open questions) or a YouTube video (via yt-dlp transcripts) into a clean Markdown note with frontmatter and vault-matching structure. - Plan-first workflow with approval gate: Always presents the target path, filename, and full note preview for explicit approval before touching the repository, then opens a PR and auto-merges it. - Citation research for videos: Researches and inline-links every named person, company, or claim mentioned in a video, keeping the note faithful and well-sourced. - Use Case: After a long Claude Code session designing a retry-backoff strategy, say "pump this session to obsidian" — the Skill drafts a note at Inbox/2026-05-29-retry-backoff-design.md, shows you the plan, and merges it into your vault once approved. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to pump this session to Obsidian, or paste a YouTube URL and ask to save it as a note in your vault.

Frequently Asked Questions about plumbeer-pump-to-obsidian

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I save a Claude session to my Obsidian vault?▼

Say "pump to obsidian" or "save this session to my vault" during the conversation. The Skill drafts a note with the session's decisions, code snippets, and open questions, shows you a plan for approval, then opens and auto-merges a pull request into the vault repository.

How do I turn a YouTube video into an Obsidian note?▼

Paste the YouTube URL and ask to pump it to Obsidian. The Skill uses yt-dlp to fetch the transcript, builds an outline from chapters or detected topics, extracts key insights with researched inline citations, and files the note under the matching vault folder.

What tools are required to push notes to an Obsidian vault on GitHub?▼

The workflow requires git, the GitHub CLI (gh), and GitHub MCP tools scoped to the target vault repository. YouTube sources additionally need yt-dlp installed and on PATH for transcript extraction.

What happens if a YouTube video has no transcript available?▼

The Skill stops and reports the issue rather than drafting from the title or description alone. A real transcript from yt-dlp is mandatory; you can retry with a different subtitle language if the video has non-English captions.

Can this Skill write to any Obsidian vault repository?▼

No, it targets only the marioplumbeer/obsidian repository. If the GitHub MCP tools are not scoped to that vault in the current session, the Skill stops and tells you instead of silently writing to a different repo.

Does the note get published without my review?▼

No. The Skill always presents a plan with the target path, filename, and full note preview, and waits for explicit approval before opening the pull request. Only after that approval does it auto-merge the PR.
