dbs-content-system makes your agent turn a large pile of local writing into a content project it can keep growing. It audits your folders first, then builds a project with content units, topic maps, topic drafts, and indexes for relationships and duplicates. It is written in Chinese and made by dontbesilent for Chinese-language content.

It needs at least 50 text files or 80,000 characters of text, from at least two kinds of source. It copies your files instead of changing the originals. The helper scripts need Node.js 18 or newer. For one-off tasks such as polishing one article, the skill says it is the wrong tool.

Good for

Writers and creators with 50 or more articles, posts or transcripts
Course makers who want old material searchable by topic
Obsidian users who want linked notes with sources

What it includes

Checks size, scope and whether the project is worth building
Counts files and text, identifies what to include and exclude, and stops with a lighter plan if the material is too small or the boundaries are unclear.
Try: “Audit my notes folder and tell me if it is big enough to build a content system.”
Files · Audit mode
Builds the project and extracts the first units from 3 to 5 articles
Creates the folder structure, copies your originals to 01-原始素材区/完整副本/, extracts the first question, concept, opinion, case and solution units, and builds a topic map and drafts.
Runs code · Sample mode
Processes more material in batches, with a review after each
Moves on only after the sample gates pass. Each batch is checked for field changes, relation changes, duplicates and rework.
Runs code · Batch mode
Rolls through the remaining material with the settled rules
Needs two clean batches in a row and a manual check of 30 units with no more than 3 major mistakes.
Runs code · Full mode
QST questions, CON concepts, OPI opinions, CAS cases, SOL solutions
Each unit is a Markdown file with front matter, source documents and relationships. Relations are respond, explain, prove and conflict.
Write · Five unit types
11 scripts to init, register sources, extract, link, dedupe and summarize
Scripts include init-content-system.js, extract-sample-units.js, generate-link-map.js, generate-duplicate-candidates.js and summarize-system.js. They read and write files in your project folder.

Watch out for

It copies your documents into a new folder
Everything in the included folders is copied into the project. Choose the folders carefully and leave private material out.
It runs scripts that write many files
Scripts create units, indexes and CSV files in the new project. Use an empty output folder so nothing else is overwritten.

Questions

What does dbs-content-system do?

It builds a local content project from your existing writing. The agent audits your folders, copies the originals, extracts small reusable units, and produces topic maps, topic drafts and indexes for relations and duplicates.

Is it in English?

No. The SKILL.md and the folders it creates are written in Chinese. The README describes dbskill as a Chinese-language skill toolbox.

How much material do I need?

At least 50 text files, or at least 80,000 characters. You also need at least two kinds of source, such as your own posts and outside research. Below that, the skill says to stop at the audit and suggest a lighter option.

How do I install it in Claude Code, the Claude app or Codex?

Use the install box at the top of this page. The dbskill README names Claude Code and Codex among supported agents. The SKILL.md says it is self-contained, with scripts in its own folder.

Can I use it for commercial work?

Check the license first. The dbskill LICENSE is CC BY-NC 4.0, which is non-commercial. The README badge shows the same license.

Will it change my original files?

The SKILL.md says original files are not touched. It copies your included folders into the new project and works on the copies.

Is it safe to install?

It runs Node.js scripts that create and write many files in the project folder, and copies your documents there. Pick an empty output folder and keep a backup. Do not point it at folders with private files you do not want copied.
