# digest-writer
**Path convention**: `vault/` is shorthand for `~/Obsidian/Research-Brain/`; all skills use the `vault/` form.
The canonical output formatter for everything that lands in `vault/digests/` or `vault/research/`. Skills hand it raw findings + metadata; it produces a markdown document with the standard 5-section structure and delegates the file write to `vault-writer`.
## Why a separate skill
Three reasons it's not just inlined per-skill:
1. **One review surface** — when the user reviews any Monday-morning digest, the layout is identical, so attention goes to content.
2. **One place to audit citations** — every digest passes through the same source-tier badge + accessed-date discipline. Months later, every digest is auditable.
3. **One place to enforce the regulated-org lens** — "Why You Care" framing is centralized.
## When to use
- Every Category 2 scheduled agent at end of run.
- Every Category 1 on-demand research skill when finalizing output.
- Any ad-hoc digest the user wants formatted to the standard.
## When NOT to use
- Individual fact / event / decision writes — those go through `vault-writer.write_fact/event/decision` directly.
- Quick captures via the `quick-capture` skill — different format, different surface.
- `_inbox/` stages — those are pre-curation, no formatting needed.
