Image Breaker
Convert documents, PDFs, images, and web content into structured markdown notes saved to workspace and synced to Obsidian.
Workflow
1. Extract Content
For URLs/PDFs:
Use web_fetch to extract contentFor images:
Use image tool to analyze and extract textFor already-analyzed content:
User may paste content directly or you've already extracted it2. Structure the Content
Convert raw content into organized markdown:
Sections to create:
- Overview - What is this document/content about?
- Key Points - Bullet list of main takeaways
- Detailed Breakdown - Organized subsections with headers
- Reference Ranges/Standards (if applicable) - Tables for numerical data
- Action Items (if applicable) - What to do with this information
- Source - Original URL or document name
Formatting guidelines:
- Use tables for numerical data (reference ranges, standards, comparisons)
- Use bullet lists for key points
- Use headers (##, ###) for organization
- Include code blocks for technical content
- Bold important terms on first mention
3. Save and Sync
Create the markdown note with proper frontmatter and save to workspace:
# Prepare frontmatter
date = "2026-02-10"
tags = ["research", "bloodwork", "nmr"] # Auto-assigned based on content
title = "NMR Lipid Panel Reference Ranges"
# Build full markdown content
content = f"""---
date: {date}
tags:
- {tag1}
- {tag2}
- {tag3}
source: {original_url_or_source}
type: image-breaker-note

# Save to workspace
output_dir = "research/image-breaker-notes" # Default
# or user-specified: "research/bloodwork", "content/references", etc.
# Write file
filepath = f"{output_dir}/{date}-{slugified-title}.md"
write(filepath, content)
# Sync to Obsidian (using obsidian-sync skill)

Auto-assign 3 most relevant tags based on content:
Common tags:
research- Academic papers, studies, referencesbloodwork- Lab results, biomarkers, panelsnmr- NMR lipid panels specificallycholesterol- Cholesterol and lipid-relatedpeptides- BPC-157, TB-500, etc.supplements- Vitamins, minerals, compoundsprotocols- Treatment/optimization protocolsfounders- Business/entrepreneur health contentlongevity- Anti-aging, healthspanperformance- Cognitive/physical optimizationtraining- Exercise, workoutstoku- Nattokinase, Toku Flow related
Prioritize specific tags over generic ones.
Output Directories
Default: research/image-breaker-notes/
Content-specific alternatives:
- Research documents →
research/papers/orresearch/protocols/ - Lab results →
research/bloodwork/ - Marketing materials →
content/references/ - Training content →
research/training/ - Business documents →
projects/business-docs/
Choose the most appropriate directory based on content type.
Example Usage
User provides Labcorp NMR document URL:
- Extract content using
web_fetch - Structure into markdown with:
- Overview of what NMR measures - Key reference ranges table - Interpretation guide - Comparison to standard lipids
- Assign tags:
bloodwork,nmr,research - Save to
research/image-breaker-notes/2026-02-10-nmr-lipid-panel-reference.md - Sync to Obsidian vault at
ImageBreaker/2026-02-10-nmr-lipid-panel-reference.md - Report to user with file path and Obsidian link
Best Practices
- Always extract content first - Use web_fetch or image tool before structuring
- Create comprehensive notes - Include context, not just raw data
- Use tables for data - Reference ranges, comparisons, standards
- Tag intelligently - Maximum 3 tags, most specific/relevant
- Choose output directory wisely - Match content type to workspace organization
- Auto-sync by default - User wants notes in Obsidian for cross-referencing
- Report file location - Give user both workspace and Obsidian paths
