genealogy-agent
A powerful agent skill for extracting, structuring, researching, and visualizing family history from raw text (memoirs, archives, chat logs).
Features
- LLM Extraction: Parses unstructured text to find people, dates, locations, and relationships.
- Knowledge Graph: Stores family data in a local JSONL ontology graph.
- Obsidian Vault Generation: Automatically generates an Obsidian-compatible vault (Markdown files with YAML frontmatter) for your family tree.
- Auto-Research: Autonomously searches global and regional databases (FamilySearch, Ancestry, OBD Memorial, Geneteka, etc.) to find new facts about ancestors.
- GEDCOM Export: Exports your family tree to the standard
.gedformat for use in MyHeritage, FamilySearch, or any desktop genealogy software. - Mermaid Visualization: Automatically generates beautiful family tree diagrams.
Setup

OPENAI_API_KEYorGEMINI_API_KEY).

- "Extract family members from this text: [text]"
- "Build a family tree from the extracted data"
- "Research my great-grandfather Ivan Ivanov born in 1910"
- "Export my family tree to GEDCOM"
- "Generate an Obsidian vault from my family data"
