The knap skill uses the Knap CLI to render Markdown notes from templates and JSON or CSV data, one file or a whole batch.
Only when you ask.
The habit
Turn new data into notes.
↻ Runs by itselfnew data file arrives
How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one data file per run.
- 01
Check the CLI
Your agent checks knap is installed, or uses npx knap.
- 02
Validate the template
It runs knap validate on the template.
- 03
Dry run
It runs knap batch with --dry-run to list output paths.
- 04
Render
It runs knap batch with --output-dir and a safe_name --filename.
- 05
Log
It records the data file and the notes it wrote.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only innotes/**, loops/knap-notes-batch-loop/**
- Talks tono outside service
- Sendsnothing
- Your OKNothing goes out, so it needs no OK.
Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.
Read both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Knap skill helps.
Use it when
- ✓ You turn CSV rows into notes
- ✓ You apply a template to JSON
- ✓ You format Defuddle output as a note
Skip it when
- – You need browser-only Web Clipper variables
- – You write notes by hand
Knap skill, answered.
Will it overwrite notes?
Only with --overwrite. Without it, existing files stop the batch.
Can it turn web pages into notes?
Yes. Pipe defuddle parse JSON output into knap render.
How do I install the Knap skill?
Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from kepano/obsidian-skills and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add kepano/obsidian-skills --skill knap.
Is the Knap skill free?
Yes. It is published under MIT. Habit is free too.
