Implementation

You are tasked with downloading files from URLs and organizing them in the Obsidian vault attachments folder.

Step 1: Parse URLs

Extract the URL(s) from the user's input. Handle multiple URLs if provided.

Step 2: Download Files

For each URL:

# Create temp filename based on URL
# Use wget or curl to download
wget -O "05_Attachments/[filename]" "[url]"
# or
curl -L "[url]" -o "05_Attachments/[filename]"

Step 3: Verify Downloads

Check that files were downloaded successfully:

ls -la "05_Attachments/"

Step 4: Organize Files

After downloading, run the organize-attachments command to rename files with descriptive names:

For PDFs:

• Extract text with pdftotext
• Analyze content for meaningful title

For Images:

• Use mcp__gemini-vision__analyze_image or mcp__gemini-vision__analyze_multiple
• Generate descriptive filename based on content

Step 5: Move to Organized

Move renamed files to 05_Attachments/Organized/ with descriptive names

Step 6: Update Index

Add entries to 05_Attachments/00_Index.md

Step 7: Commit Changes

git add -A
git commit -m "Download and organize attachments from URLs"
git push
