Store a New Input Source

Persist raw input material in the provenance database so it can later be linked to notes.

Steps

1. •Identify the input content the user has provided (transcript, article, excerpt, pasted text, etc.).
2. •Call store_input with the content. Optionally include metadata such as:
   • •source_type: e.g. "youtube_transcript", "article", "book_excerpt", "pasted_text"
   • •source_url: URL if applicable
   • •title: a descriptive title for the input
3. •If the tool returns duplicate: true, inform the user that this content was already stored and provide the existing input_id.
4. •If newly stored, report the input_id and content_sha256 back to the user.
5. •Ask the user if they want to immediately create a note from this input (suggest using /new-note).

Important

• •The database must be initialized first. If you get a "DB not initialized" error, suggest running /vault-init.
• •Inputs are immutable once stored. They can only be redacted, not edited.
• •SHA-256 deduplication prevents storing the same content twice.

Examples

User provides a YouTube transcript:

"Here's the transcript from the video about composting..."

User pastes an article:

"Store this article about soil health: ..."
