vaultr-compile-note
Compiles a single raw Vaultr note into knowledge units using a two-phase AI process (triage → compile). Use this skill whenever the user wants to compile a note into knowledge, extract knowledge from a note, update the knowledge base from a note, merge note content into knowledge units, or run knowledge compilation. Triggers on phrases like 'compile this note', 'compile note into knowledge', 'extract knowledge from note', 'update knowledge base', 'run compile on', or any request to turn a raw note into structured knowledge units.

# Vaultr Compile Note Compiles a single raw note into **knowledge units** — wiki-style pages that capture the author's accumulating understanding of the entities and concepts that matter to them. **Run all five steps to completion without stopping.** Do not present intermediate results, ask for confirmation, or pause between steps. Pre-compile (Step 3) is internal — never output it to the user. Only speak at the end (Step 5 summary). --- ## Inputs 1. **Note path** — the raw note to compile (vault-absolute or filesystem path) 2. **Knowledge directory** — where knowledge units live (default: `_knowledge/` relative to cwd, which is always the vault root) --- ## Step 1 — Read the note Read the full content of the target note. Note its path and **original publication date** — check in order: YAML front matter (`date` / `published`), filename date prefix, article/podcast header, or any explicit timestamp in the body. Record this as `source_date`. If none is found, mark `source_date` as unknown. --- ## Step 2 — Load relevant knowledge index List available domain indexes: ```bash vaultr knowledge list-indexes ``` This returns a JSON array of `{"domain": "...", "path": "..."}` objects.

What does the vaultr-compile-note skill do?
Compiles a single raw Vaultr note into knowledge units using a two-phase AI process (triage → compile).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add skoowoo/vaultr-notes --skill vaultr-compile-note --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From skoowoo/vaultr-notes, a repository with 74 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
