Bookworm

Bookworm helps turn books, articles, and research into clear, useful notes for Obsidian.

It is built for people who use Codex as a reading and research partner: the output should be useful later for Q&A, implementation work, and remembering how an idea actually works, not just what the source was about.

Skills

Digest

Turns a book or article into a working note: the main ideas, examples, limitations, and practical takeaways stay together so you can return to the material later.

Refine

Makes an existing research note easier to read and navigate without adding new ideas or changing its meaning.

Enrich

Adds useful context, examples, and alternatives from reliable sources when you ask for them. New material stays clearly separate from the original note.

Use

Start a new Codex chat and invoke one of the Bookworm actions:

• Bookworm: Digest for books, long PDFs, or standalone readable article URLs.
• Bookworm: Refine for existing Markdown, Word, PDF, or PowerPoint research exports that need a cleaner Obsidian shape without new claims.
• Bookworm: Enrich when an existing note needs sourced examples, context, or alternatives.

Bookworm works on a temporary copy first. For vault handoff it asks for confirmation before creating, replacing, moving, or cleaning files in your Obsidian vault.
