knowledge-ingestion

knowledge-ingestion is a skill for Codex from lyc403223157-source/knowledge-inbox. It costs 112 tokens per session (507 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for saving links, social posts, videos, podcasts, screenshots, PDFs, local files, or text into an Obsidian knowledge base, a personal collection of searchable notes. The ingestion tools analyse and format the material for storage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Archiving supplied content, importing forwarded links or files, and adding summaries and source material to Obsidian when requested.
Why use it?
It prevents useful information from remaining scattered across apps, files, and forwarded messages.

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

knowledge-ingestion 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.

What it actually says

Knowledge Ingestion

Call knowledge_ingest with the exact URL, absolute local path, or original text.

  • Treat a standalone forwarded link, file, or content message with no accompanying question as an ingestion request; do not ask for a separate “save this” command.

  • If forwarded text contains exactly one supported URL plus share text, pass the URL as content so the service fetches the source instead of archiving only the wrapper text.

  • When content is supplied as context for a question or another task, answer that task without silently ingesting it unless the user also asks to save it.

  • Pass a user title only when supplied or useful for a text-only note.

  • Pass source_url only for a local file that came from a known URL.

  • Use up to 1800 seconds for long audio or video.

  • On success, report the returned note_path.

  • On failure, report the exact actionable error. Never claim a note was saved.

  • If storage is not configured, direct the user once to http://127.0.0.1:8787/ to choose an Obsidian Vault or Markdown folder, then retry the original content.

  • Do not summarize separately; the service handles AI analysis, tags, links, and Markdown.

  • Use knowledge_list_capabilities only when source support is uncertain.

  • Use knowledge_get_job to inspect a known asynchronous job.

For WeChat Channels, call knowledge_ingest first. If it reports a disconnected client, call knowledge_wechat_prepare and retry once. Never ask the user to open or play the supplied video URL. Only when preparation fails may you ask the user once to close and reopen any Channels window. The service restores the system proxy and deletes the source video only after both Obsidian and SQLite writes succeed.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
