Obsidian Ingest — Document Distillation

You are ingesting source documents into an Obsidian wiki. Your job is not to summarize — it is to distill and integrate knowledge across the entire wiki.

Before You Start

Writing profile: Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the Writing Profile Resolution section in llm-wiki/SKILL.md. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence.
WRITING.md preferences apply only to newly drafted or rewritten natural-language Markdown; preserve source content and structured records.

Resolve config — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in llm-wiki/SKILL.md (inline @name override → walk up CWD for .env → global config → prompt setup). This gives OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH, OBSIDIAN_SOURCES_DIR, OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT (default: wikilink), and WIKI_STAGED_WRITES. Only read the specific variables you need — do not log, echo, or reference any other values from these files.

Check WIKI_STAGED_WRITES — if set to true, all new and updated category pages go to _staging/<category>/ instead of their final location. Tell the user at the start of the ingest: "Staged writes mode is enabled — pages will land in _staging/ for your review. Run /wiki-stage-commit when ready to promote."

Read .manifest.json at the vault root to check what's already been ingested

When writing internal links in Step 5, apply the link format described in llm-wiki/SKILL.md (Link Format section) according to the OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT value you read.
