Command definition
ingest.mddescription: Turn material into notes at the right altitude — a quick capture, a small collection, or a full build
argument-hint: [what to ingest, or leave blank to handle Inbox/]
Handle whatever I point you at — or everything in `Inbox/` if I don't say.
**If this folder isn't a vault yet** (no `.agents/` and no notes), don't force a build — say so and offer `/obsidian-knowledge:setup` first, then come back to this.
1. **Recall.** If this vault has `.agents/learned/`, read `conventions.md` and `examples.md` and scan `.agents/learned/skills/` for a matching playbook. Look at how this vault is already organized and plan to fit in, not impose. 2. **Pick the altitude.** Match the effort to the material — a single note (**Capture**), a few notes plus a light index (**Small collection**), or the full scaffold with a concept-graph canvas (**Full build**). Default to the lightest that fits; when unsure, go lighter and offer to go deeper. See "Choose the altitude" in `.agents/ingestion-workflow.md`. (For an obvious one-note save, just use `/obsidian-knowledge:capture`.) 3. **Do the work** at that altitude, following the `obsidian-knowledge` skill and the vault's `.agents/*.md` if present (otherwise the skill's bundled `references/`). 4. **Reflect.** Append a journal entry and propose any durable convention / example / playbook updates for review. Commit per the approval policy; surface rule-change diffs before committing them.

$ARGUMENTS
Talk to your vault. It does the rest. You drop it in. It files, it teaches, and it remembers how you like your notes. Point any agentic assistant at your Obsidian vault and talk to it — "save this link", "organize my inbox", "ingest the syllabus in Inbox".
