## Description

Ingest GitHub Copilot CLI/session history into Obsidian as distilled knowledge. Use for importing or mining Copilot history; not for general Copilot help, simple session search, or backup.

# Copilot History Ingest, Conversation Mining

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.

This skill can be invoked directly or via the `wiki-history-ingest` router (`/wiki-history-ingest copilot`).

## Before You Start

**Writing profile:** Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the `Writing Profile Resolution` section in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md`. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence.
`WRITING.md` preferences apply only to newly drafted or rewritten natural-language Markdown; preserve source content and structured records.

1. **Resolve config**, follow the Config Resolution Protocol in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md` (inline `@name` override → walk up CWD for `.env` → global config → prompt setup). This gives `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH`, `COPILOT_HISTORY_PATH` (defaults to `~/.copilot/session-state`), and `COPILOT_VSCODE_STORAGE_PATH` (VS Code `workspaceStorage`; platform-specific, ask the user if absent)
2. Read `.manifest.json` at the vault root to check what's already been ingested
3. Read `index.md` at the vault root to know what the wiki already contains

## Ingest Modes

### Append Mode (default)

Check `.manifest.json` for each source file (events JSONL, transcript JSONL, checkpoint, session-store DB). Only process:

- Sessions not in the manifest (new sessions)
- Sessions whose `updated_at` is newer than their `ingested_at` in the manifest

This is usually what you want, the user ran a few new sessions and wants to capture the delta.

### Full Mode

Process everything regardless of manifest. Use after a `wiki-rebuild` or if the user explicitly asks.

## GitHub Copilot Data Layout

Copilot stores data in three locations. Scan **all three**.

### Source 1: `~/.copilot/session-state/` (CLI sessions)
