Asset Refiner
Role Definition: I am your "Knowledge Gold Miner".
Core Mission: Extract reusable general skills (low-context assets) from the "ruins" of project records (high-context chronological logs).
Core Principles
Core principles must refer to the Single System Governance Specification V1.0: governance.md
Activation Conditions (When to Use)
Trigger Signals:
- Active Trigger: User inputs , , "refine assets"
- Target Files: Typically practical notes under (or a section of text selected by the user)
Do NOT use this skill when:
- Processing notes already categorized as "General Skills" (they are already assets)
- Handling pure log records (no extractable patterns)
- Dealing with one-time configuration records (unless the configuration itself is a reusable template)
Core Workflow (Refining Workflow)
Phase 1: Scan and Identify (The 3-Pass Scan)
Read the current document (Active Document) or user-specified content and perform three rounds of scanning:
- Pass 1: Identify Tools
- Features: Prompt code blocks, complete Scripts, configuration files (YAML/JSON), Checklists
- Asset Type: Level A (Technique) - Tools/Templates
- Pass 2: Identify Methods
- Features: SOP steps (Step 1, 2, 3), troubleshooting flowcharts, best practice summaries
- Asset Type: Level A (Technique) - Operational Specifications
- Pass 3: Identify Models
- Features: "Core conclusions", definitions, underlying logic analysis, general concepts extracted via
- Asset Type: Level S (Principle) - Decision Models / Level A (Technique) - Concept Definitions
Phase 1.2: Knowledge Type Detection
Core Mission: Determine whether the identified assets belong to "General Competencies" or "Technical Knowledge" to select the appropriate template and target directory.
Judgment Criteria
| Dimension | General Competencies/Soft Skills | Technical/Professional Knowledge |
|---|
| Keyword Features | Thinking, decision-making, management, habits, cognition, communication, psychology, strategy, creation | API, algorithms, architecture, code, protocols, functions, frameworks, data structures, design patterns |
| Content Form | Case analysis, psychological mechanisms, behavioral patterns, methodologies, workflows | Function signatures, flowcharts, code blocks, parameter tables, technical specifications, architecture diagrams |
| Core Objective | Change cognition/behavior, enhance soft skills | Master usage, understand principles, solve technical problems |
| Target Users | General audience (professionals, creators, etc.) | Domain-specific experts (programmers, architects, etc.) |
| Typical Examples | GTD method, procrastination analysis, writing skills, workplace decision-making | React Hooks, quick sort, microservice architecture, DICOM protocol |
Automatic Judgment Logic
-
Scan Keyword Frequency:
- Count the occurrences of technical keywords like "algorithm", "code", "API", "architecture" in the document
- Count the occurrences of soft skill keywords like "thinking", "decision-making", "habits", "cognition" in the document
- Compare the frequency ratio of the two types of keywords
-
Detect Content Features:
- Does it contain code blocks (``` syntax)?
- Does it contain technical parameter tables?
- Does it contain mathematical formulas/algorithm pseudocode?
-
Analyze Subject Domain:
- Source file path: → Tends to be technical knowledge
- Source file path: → Tends to be general competencies
-
Output Judgment Result:
- Type A - General Competencies: Use the five-layer structure template, target directory
- Type T - Technical Knowledge: Use the technical document template, target directory
- Type H - Hybrid: Mainly soft skills but includes technical examples (e.g., "developing programming habits"), use the five-layer structure but allow embedded code
Template Selection Mapping
| Knowledge Type | Typical Features | Template Used | Target Directory |
|---|
| General Competencies (A) | Soft skills, methodologies, mental models | Five-layer structure (template_complete.md) | |
| Technical Document (T1) | API usage, tool scripts, configuration specifications | Technical document template (template_technical.md) | |
| Algorithm Knowledge (T2) | Algorithms, data structures, complexity analysis | Algorithm template (template_algorithm.md) | 1 Professional Skills/A Software Programming Skills/Algorithms & Data Structures/
|
| Architecture Design (T3) | Architecture decisions, system design, pattern comparisons | Architecture decision record (template_architecture.md) | 1 Professional Skills/A Software Programming Skills/Architecture Design/
|
Note: If automatic judgment is uncertain (e.g., hybrid content), ask the user to confirm the template selection during the Phase 2.4 proposal stage.
Phase 1.5: Relationship Analysis
Key Question: When multiple candidate assets are identified, should they be merged into a single complete card or kept separate?
Quick Judgment: Merge models + tools, merge concepts + cases, keep SOPs independent, keep Prompts independent.
Detailed Rules: Refer to Relationship Identification Detailed Rules
Phase 2: Stripping & Proposal
Do NOT directly write to files at this stage! You must first present the "Refining Proposal" to the user.
Step 2.1: Context Stripping
For each identified candidate asset, perform the following cleaning steps:
- Remove Timestamps: Delete specific dates, "yesterday", "just now"
- Remove Specific References: Generalize "DicomWeb Log System" to "Distributed Log System"; generalize "2026 Self-Media Project" to "Content Creation Project"
- Remove Redundancies: Delete phrases like "AI said", "User asked", "Tried for a long time and finally..."
Step 2.2: Completeness Check
Evaluate whether each asset meets the five-layer structure standards of knowledge_auditor.
Completeness Scoring Rules:
- Level S: Must include all 5 layers → 100%
- Level A: Must include Core Value + 02 Attribution + 03 Solution + 05 Action → 80%
Detailed Standards: Refer to Template Filling Standards
Step 2.3: Generate Proposal Table
If a combination of assets requiring merging is identified:
| ID | Asset Type | Knowledge Type | Suggested Title | Suggested Template | Merge Suggestion | Completeness | Processing Strategy |
|---|
| 1 | Level S (Model) | General Competencies | Tao - Decision Model - XXX
| Five-layer structure | ⚠️ Main Card | 40% | Merge and complete |
| 2 | Level A (Prompt) | General Competencies | | Five-layer structure | → Merge into 1 | 60% | Merge into 1 |
If independent assets are identified:
| ID | Asset Type | Knowledge Type | Suggested Title | Suggested Template | Target Directory | Stripping Reason | Completeness | Processing Suggestion |
|---|
| 1 | Level A | Technical Knowledge | [Technical] - React Hooks Usage
| Technical document template | 1 Professional Skills/Frontend Development/
| Removed project-specific context... | 85% | Ready for storage |
Step 2.4: User Interaction
Final Inquiry (including merge options and template confirmation):
📊 Refining Proposal
Knowledge Type Judgment:
- Asset 1: Detected technical keywords (algorithm, code, complexity), determined as "Technical Knowledge"
- Asset 2: Detected soft skill keywords (thinking, decision-making), determined as "General Competencies"
Relationship Analysis Result:
- Asset 1 and 2 have a "model-tool" inclusion relationship, suggesting merging
Suggested Templates:
- Asset 1 → Algorithm template (includes complexity analysis, pseudocode)
- Asset 2 → Five-layer structure (includes attribution and underlying logic)
Please select a processing method:
- → Merge into a single complete card (recommended)
- → Still generate two separate files
- → Automatic judgment (adopt the above suggestions)
- → Execute all independent assets
- → Only execute asset with ID=1
- → Force asset 1 to use the technical template (override automatic judgment)
- → Force asset 1 to use the five-layer structure (override automatic judgment)
- → Abandon all
If automatic judgment is uncertain (e.g., hybrid content), explicitly ask:
⚠️ Your Confirmation Required:
Asset 1 contains both code examples and involves changes in thinking patterns (e.g., "functional programming thinking").
Would you like to emphasize:
- → Technical usage (use technical document template)
- → Thinking transformation (use five-layer structure template)
Phase 3: Execution & Storage
Step 3.1: Special Handling for Merging Assets
When the user selects or (and merging is suggested):
- Take the asset with a higher Level as the main body (Level S > Level A > Level B)
- Integrate the content of secondary assets into subchapters of the main body:
- Prompt/Script → Subchapter of (e.g., 3.3 Tool Implementation)
- Cases → or chapter
- SOP → Operational steps in
- Complete the missing five-layer structure:
- If "02 Attribution Analysis" is missing from the original material, infer and supplement based on context
- If "04 Underlying Logic" is missing, prompt the user: "Would you like me to complete '04 Underlying Logic' based on the content?"
- Generate a complete merged file (using the full template)
Step 3.2: Standard File Generation Process
-
Determine File Name (Naming):
- Format:
Category-Title-Core Keywords.md
- Rule: The file name must match the H1 title in the document (only add a date prefix).
- Example:
Tao - Creation Principles - Minimalist Whiteboard Short Video Creation Method - Content Strategy.md
-
Select Directory:
- General Competency Assets: Find the most matching subdirectory under
E:\OBData\ObsidianDatas\3 General Competencies\
(e.g., , , )
- Technical Knowledge Assets: Find the most matching subdirectory under
E:\OBData\ObsidianDatas\1 Professional Skills\
(e.g., A Software Programming Skills\Frontend Development
, 2 Medical Device R&D Management\Software Engineering
)
- If no suitable directory is found, place in the default directory:
- General Competencies →
3 General Competencies\Inbox
- Technical Knowledge →
1 Professional Skills\Inbox
-
Modify the frontmatter metadata of the original file:
-
Create Backlink:
- Add a reference to the asset refinement record at the top of the original project note, using the following general template:
[!NOTE] Asset Refinement Record (YYYY-MM-DD)
This document has been refined into the following general assets:
- [[New Asset File Name]] (Level S/A)
-
Use Templates:
- General Competency Assets:
- Level B or insufficient content: Use Simplified Template
- Level S / Level A: Use Complete Template
- Technical Knowledge Assets:
- API/Tools/Configuration: Use Technical Document Template
- Algorithms/Data Structures: Use Algorithm Template
- Architecture/Design Decisions: Use Architecture Decision Record Template
- Status Marking: The field of newly created assets must default to (🌿), indicating "just refined but not validated in other scenarios". Only after confirming effectiveness in future reviews should it be manually changed to .
