Ccn:Create Topic
Create structured topic files with YAML frontmatter for organized knowledge management
by diegosouzapwLibrary & Information ScienceInformation ArchitectureInformation ArchitectEnterprise ContentWhat You Can Do
This skill automates the creation of topic files in your .notes/ directory with pre-formatted YAML frontmatter and section templates. You provide a topic name, and Claude generates a properly named file with consistent metadata (description, keywords, timestamps) and ready-to-use section headers. This eliminates manual setup time and ensures all your knowledge management files follow the same organizational structure.

You can search Wikidata using four complementary methods: keyword search via the Action API for label-based lookups, semantic/hybrid search through the Vector Database for fuzzy concept matching, direct entity retrieval via Special:EntityData for instant JSON data, and SPARQL queries through WDQS for complex graph relationships and reporting. Each method is optimized for different use cases—from quick entity lookups to multi-table data analysis across millions of linked facts.
