# COG URL Dump Skill

## Purpose
Transform raw URLs into structured, insightful knowledge entries through intelligent content extraction, categorization, and integration with the user's knowledge base. Quick capture with automatic insight generation.

## When to Invoke
- User shares a URL they want to save
- User says "save this link", "bookmark this", "url dump", or "save for later"
- User pastes a URL and wants to capture it
- User wants to organize web resources into their knowledge base

## Agent Mode Awareness

**Check `agent_mode` in `00-inbox/MY-PROFILE.md` frontmatter:**
- If `agent_mode: team` — delegate content extraction, analysis, and categorization to a sub-agent while handling user interaction directly. The sub-agent fetches URL content, generates insights, and returns structured results for filing.
- If `agent_mode: solo` (default) — handle everything directly in the conversation. No delegation.

## Pre-Flight Check

**Before executing, check for user profile:**

1. Look for `00-inbox/MY-PROFILE.md` in the vault
2. If NOT found:
   ```
   Welcome to COG! It looks like this is your first time.

   Before we start, let's quickly set up your profile (takes 2 minutes).

   Would you like to run onboarding first, or should I proceed with default settings?
   ```
3. If found:
   - Read the profile to get user's interests and projects
   - Use interests to help with auto-categorization
   - Check for existing booklet categories in `05-knowledge/booklets/`

## Process Flow

### 1. User Interaction & Input Collection
- Accept URL(s) from the user (single URL or batch)
- Optionally accept user's quick note about why they're saving this
- Accept any format: bare URL, markdown link, or with notes

**Prompt:**
```
What URL(s) would you like to save?
(You can paste one or more URLs, optionally with a note about why you're saving it)
```

### 2. URL Validation & Fetch
- Validate URL format
- Check if URL is accessible
- Detect duplicate URLs in existing knowledge base
- Fetch the web page content

#### Content Extraction
Extract from the page:
- **Page Title:** [extracted-title]
- **Meta Description:** [if available]
- **Author:** [if detected]
- **Published Date:** [if detected]
- **Word Count:** [estimated]
- **Read Time:** [X minutes]
- **Main Content:** [extracted body text]
- **Key Headings:** [list of H1/H2s]

### 3. Category Selection

**Default Categories:**
- **Articles & Blogs:** Long-form content, tutorials, opinion pieces
- **Tools & Resources:** Software, utilities, services, APIs
- **Reference:** Documentation, specs, standards
- **Research:** Papers, studies, academic content
- **Inspiration:** Design, ideas, creative references
- **Videos & Media:** YouTube, podcasts, multimedia
- **News & Updates:** Industry news, announcements
- **Project-Specific:** Related to a specific project (offer project list from MY-PROFILE.md)
- **To Review:** Unsure, save for later categorization

**Custom Categories:**
- Check `05-knowledge/booklets/` for existing custom categories
- Offer to create new category if needed

**Auto-suggestion:** Based on content analysis, suggest the most likely category but let user confirm or change.

#### Phase 3: Relevance Assessment

- **Knowledge Gap:** [yes|no] - [what gap it fills]
- **Timeliness:** [evergreen|current|dated]

Identify connections to:
- **Related Bookmarks:** [existing similar saves]
- **Related Braindumps:** [if content connects]
- **Related Projects:** [if applicable]
