How to use Obsidian Wiki Ingest in your AI agent

Install and use the Obsidian Wiki Ingest skill in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Windsurf — with sample prompts.

What you'll get

This skill takes material you hand it, like pasted text, files dropped in your vault's inbox, or links you approve, and files it into your Obsidian knowledge base. It pulls out the key claims, people, and ideas, connects them to pages you already have, and keeps a record of where every claim came from. You review a preview of every change before anything is written.

Step 1 — Get the skill source URL

The Obsidian Wiki Ingest skill lives at:

Step 2 — Add it to your AI agent

Copy one of these prompts and paste it into your AI tool. The agent will fetch and install the skill for you.

Claude Code

Add the agent skill from https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian/tree/main/skills/wiki-ingest to my project.

Cursor

Install this agent skill: https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian/tree/main/skills/wiki-ingest

Codex

Add this skill to .codex/skills/: https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian/tree/main/skills/wiki-ingest

Gemini CLI

Add the skill at https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian/tree/main/skills/wiki-ingest to my .gemini/skills/ directory.

OpenCode

Windsurf

Add this skill: https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian/tree/main/skills/wiki-ingest

Step 3 — Try these prompts

Once the skill is installed, ask your AI things like:

  • Building a personal or team knowledge base in Obsidian
  • You have a pile of articles or research to file and connect
  • You want notes that cite their sources instead of loose summaries
  • Process a batch of documents without losing track of what came from where

What this skill does

  • Reads pasted text, files in your vault inbox, or web links you approve
  • Extracts key claims, people, concepts, contradictions, and open questions
  • Creates or updates linked notes only when the source adds something new
  • Tracks the source behind every claim so you can trust and check it later
  • Shows a full preview of planned changes before writing to your vault
