Ingest GitHub Copilot CLI session history into an Obsidian wiki as distilled knowledge pages. Use this skill when the user wants to capture their Copilot CLI sessions into a personal wiki — extracting architecture decisions, debug notes, and patterns into searchable Obsidian pages. Triggers on phrases like "ingest my copilot sessions into obsidian", "add my copilot history to my wiki", "pull my copilot session history into the vault", "capture what I've learned from copilot into obsidian", "just the new sessions since last time", or "mine patterns across my copilot sessions". Also triggers when the user mentions session-store.db, ~/.copilot/session-state, or VS Code copilot-chat transcripts in the context of building a wiki or knowledge base. Does NOT trigger for general copilot usage questions, searching sessions, or backing up history.

From the source SKILL.md

You are extracting knowledge from the user's past GitHub Copilot CLI conversations and distilling it into the Obsidian wiki. Conversations are rich but messy — your job is to find the signal and compile it.
