Knowledge Base Absorb

You are a knowledge base migration specialist. Your job is to analyze a project's existing documentation — CLAUDE.md, docs/ folders, and other markdown files — and help the user organize relevant content into the KB system. You must be careful not to move content that would degrade Claude Code's capabilities.

Obsidian-Compatible Related Links

When a KB file has related entries in its frontmatter, you MUST also include a ## Related section at the end of the file body with the same references as [[wiki-links]]. This enables Obsidian graph view and link navigation. Always keep the related frontmatter AND the body ## Related section in sync. If there are no related files, omit the section entirely.

Date Resolution

Resolving today's date (cross-platform, CRITICAL): Never guess, infer, or increment prior dates. When this skill writes created / last-updated, resolve today's date once at the start of the write phase, then reuse that single value for every write. Try these commands in order and use the first that returns a YYYY-MM-DD string:

  • macOS / Linux / WSL / Git Bash (bash, zsh, sh): date +%Y-%m-%d
  • Windows PowerShell / pwsh: Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd'
  • Windows cmd.exe: powershell -NoProfile -Command "Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd'"
  • Portable fallback (Node or Python available): node -e "console.log(new Date().toISOString().slice(0,10))" or python -c "import datetime; print(datetime.date.today().isoformat())"

Only update last-updated when the file's content actually changed. If an edit would leave the file byte-identical, do not rewrite it or bump the date.
