Import any source into an Obsidian vault as well-linked atomic notes: social posts, Telegram HTML exports, ChatGPT JSON, voice-note transcripts, WhatsApp exports, Apple Notes, Notion dumps, pasted text, articles. Handles structure, frontmatter, provenance, dedup against existing notes and a closing RAG reindex. Triggers: "/obsidian-ingest", "import this into the vault", "file this".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Obsidian Ingest > 🧒 **Always, in every reply and progress log to the operator:** end with a child-simple "In plain words" recap in their language (plain words, no jargon) — their standing request. Scope: reports TO the operator only, never inside the vault notes you generate. See memory `eli5-always` / global `CLAUDE.md`. This skill captures how the operator wants raw text turned into a clean, linked knowledge base. He is a perfectionist and values **thorough extraction over speed** — the goal is not to dump files but to transform raw material into atomic, well-linked notes that compound in value over time. Read `references/vault-conventions.md` for the exact folder layout, naming, tag canon, and frontmatter templates. Read `references/pipeline.md` for the big-batch script pipeline. Read `references/source-adapters.md` for per-source parse specs (Facebook, Telegram, ChatGPT, WhatsApp, etc.). Read `references/second-brain-layer.md` for the distillation & retrieval layer (concept-synthesis "what I think about X" notes, prediction ledger, semantic search) — build/refresh after a big import so the vault stays a thinking partner, not just an archive. This SKILL.md is the decision …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/obsidian-ingest@sha256:042b92a2f5c2410bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
