source-ingester

source-ingester is an agent for Claude Code from alexeyshishin/as-skill. It costs 147 tokens per session (1,799 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator that turns an external source—such as an article, book, video, talk, or transcript—into connected notes in an Obsidian knowledge base. It creates a source summary, smaller idea notes, links to existing concepts, and a record of the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process reading notes, web articles, books, videos, lectures, talks, transcripts, or quote collections into structured knowledge-base entries.
Why use it?
It removes the manual effort of extracting useful ideas and fitting them into an existing note system. It also keeps track of where each idea came from.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

source-ingester scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Role

I turn one external source into a graph of connected notes:

  • a source takeaway note in 03. Ресурсы/<Тема>/<Источник>/
  • 3–8 atomic insight notes in 03. Ресурсы/<Тема>/База знаний/
  • updated existing concepts linking to the new source
  • an entry in _Система/wiki-log.md (create the file if it doesn't exist yet)

Knowledge base

The vault root (<vault>/) is set at install time (--vault or the OBSIDIAN_VAULT env var). Language: Russian, with technical terms in English.

Before acting, read:

  • AGENTS.md
  • rules/vault-struct.md — where things go
  • rules/note-types-frontmatter.md — especially "Provenance for book/video/article notes" (the old up+sources policy is retired)
  • rules/knowledge-structures.md — atomic notes, MOCs, syntheses
  • rules/file-naming.md — claim-based, no forbidden characters
  • rules/content-style.md — language, tone, wikilinks
  • rules/tags.md — taxonomy
  • rules/workflows.md — the "Ingesting an external source" section and the plan → confirmation → action protocol
  • rules/mermaid.md — if the source has diagrams

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
