Import Dialog

Import exported markdown dialog files, convert them to the standard dialog JSON format, then hand off to the existing advisor-profile pipeline. This skill is intentionally a thin wrapper around conversation-dump, soul-extraction, and incarnate so their taxonomies and profile rules stay single-sourced.

Phase 1 — Specify Inputs

Ask the user for:

1. File path(s): One or more .md dialog files to import. Accept glob patterns (e.g., docs/*.md).
2. Target advisor: An existing advisor slug (from advisors/index.md) or a new advisor name. If new, also gather background info (field, themes, skills) for the profile header.

Phase 2 — Parse and Store

Run the bundled parser to convert .md files into standard JSON turns:

python3 <skill-base-dir>/../conversation-dump/parse_md_dialog.py parse <file.md>

For multiple files:

python3 <skill-base-dir>/../conversation-dump/parse_md_dialog.py batch <directory> --outdir docs/dialog/md-import/raw/

Save JSON outputs to docs/dialog/md-import/raw/. Verify each file parsed correctly (non-zero turns).

Phase 3 — Classify and Analyze

Follow conversation-dump Phases 2–3 on docs/dialog/md-import/raw/:

• Use the topic taxonomy from conversation-dump only.
• Move classified sessions to docs/dialog/md-import/<topic>/.
• Present topic counts and ask which topics to analyze deeply.
• Save enriched JSON back to docs/dialog/md-import/<topic>/.

Phase 4 — Soul Extraction

For each selected topic, follow soul-extraction Phases 2–4 and write thinking-pattern.md + master-thinking.md to docs/dialog/md-import/<topic>/.

Phase 5 — Update Advisor Profile

Use incarnate Step 3–4 to synthesize or update advisors/<slug>/profile.md from the new soul-extraction outputs. Preserve existing topic sections that were not re-analyzed, and update advisors/index.md.

Present the updated profile to the user for review:

Your advisor profile has been updated at advisors/<slug>/profile.md. The new analysis added/updated the following topic sections: [list]. Please review — raw dialog data stays in docs/dialog/md-import/ and is not included in the profile.

Supported .md Formats

The parser (parse_md_dialog.py) auto-detects these role marker patterns:

Format	Human marker	Assistant marker
Claude.ai export	## **Human**	## **Claude**
Bold variant	## **User**	## **Assistant**
Plain heading	## Human	## Claude or ## Assistant
Colon format	**Human:**	**Claude:** or **Assistant:**

Messages are separated by --- lines (ignored during parsing). Nested markdown headings within assistant responses are preserved as content.
