logseq-import

What This Skill Does

The logseq-import skill is a specialized utility for users who utilize Logseq as a primary capture tool but want to maintain their permanent knowledge base in the slipbox format. It serves as a bridge, parsing structured Logseq pages into discrete, atomic slipbox notes. The skill intelligently extracts page-level metadata like authors and titles, while recursively flattening bulleted hierarchies to ensure that every individual point retains sufficient context to be useful on its own. A primary design goal of this tool is data hygiene; it explicitly strips away Logseq-specific syntax such as page properties, block identifiers, and manual tags, allowing the Slipbot engine to generate modern, semantic tags based solely on the note content itself.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal or command interface:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jrswab/slipbot-logseq-importer

Ensure that your OpenClaw instance has the necessary permissions to access your local file system or clipboard, as the importer requires read access to process the pasted markdown text.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for researchers, writers, and students who engage in "progressive summarization." You might capture raw, messy thoughts or meeting notes in Logseq throughout the week, then use this skill to 'flush' those entries into your refined Zettelkasten. It is perfect for converting book summary pages, literature notes, or brainstorming sessions into permanent index cards.

Example Prompts

1. "I just copied my Logseq notes from the 'Digital Zettelkasten' book page to my clipboard. Can you import them into the slipbox for me?"
2. "Import the Logseq page in my clipboard as new notes. Make sure to ignore the existing tags and only keep the content."
3. "Here is my weekly review log from Logseq: [paste content]. Please parse these into individual slipbox notes."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: The skill requires a confirmation step. Always review the generated summary and note count before finalizing the import to ensure that nested bullets were parsed to your satisfaction.
• Data Hygiene: The importer ignores all #tags and block-tags::. If you rely on specific Logseq tagging workflows, remember that Slipbot will re-tag these automatically based on the text.
• Formatting: While the skill preserves bold and italic markdown, complex LaTeX or custom Logseq plugins might result in unpredictable formatting; keep your input notes relatively standard.
