obsidian-wiki

Show the current state of the wiki — what's been ingested, what's pending, and the delta between sources and wiki content. Use this skill when the user asks "what's the status", "how much is ingested", "what's left to process", "show me the delta", "what changed since last ingest", "wiki dashboard", or wants an overview of their knowledge base health and completeness. Also use before deciding whether to append or rebuild. Includes an insights mode triggered by "wiki insights", "what's central", "show me the hubs", "central pages", "what's connected", "wiki structure" — analyzes the shape of the wiki itself to surface top hubs, cross-domain bridges, and orphan-adjacent pages.

Ingest documents into the Obsidian wiki by distilling their knowledge into interconnected wiki pages. Use this skill whenever the user wants to add new sources to their wiki, process a document or directory, import articles, papers, or notes into their knowledge base, or says things like "add this to the wiki", "process these docs", "ingest this folder". Also triggers when the user drops a file and wants it incorporated into their existing knowledge base. Also handles raw mode: "process my drafts", "promote my raw pages", or any reference to the _raw/ staging directory.

Scan the Obsidian wiki and automatically discover missing cross-references between pages. Use this skill when the user says "link my pages", "find missing links", "cross-reference", "connect my wiki", "add wikilinks", "what pages should be linked", or after any large ingestion to ensure new pages are woven into the existing knowledge graph. Also trigger when the user mentions "orphan pages" in the context of wanting to connect them, or says things like "my wiki feels disconnected" or "pages aren't linked well". This is a write-heavy skill — it actually modifies pages to add links, unlike wiki-lint which just reports issues.

Ingest Claude Code conversation history into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user wants to mine their past Claude conversations for knowledge, import their ~/.claude folder, extract insights from previous coding sessions, or says things like "process my Claude history", "add my conversations to the wiki", "what have I discussed with Claude before". Also triggers when the user mentions their .claude folder, Claude projects, session data, past conversation logs, local-agent-mode sessions, or audit logs.

Answer questions by searching the compiled Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user asks a question about their knowledge base, wants to find information across their wiki, asks "what do I know about X", "find everything related to Y", or wants synthesized answers with citations from their wiki pages. Also use when the user wants to explore connections between topics in their wiki. Works from any project. Includes an index-only fast mode triggered by "quick answer", "just scan", "don't read the pages", "fast lookup" — returns answers from page summaries and frontmatter without reading page bodies.

Sync the current project's knowledge into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill from any project when the user says "update wiki", "sync to wiki", "save this to my wiki", "update obsidian", or wants to distill what they've been working on into their knowledge base. This is the cross-project skill that lets you push knowledge from wherever you are into the vault.

The foundational knowledge distillation pattern for building and maintaining an AI-powered Obsidian wiki. Based on Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki architecture. Use this skill whenever the user wants to understand the wiki pattern, set up a new knowledge base, or needs guidance on the three-layer architecture (raw sources → wiki → schema). Also use when discussing knowledge management strategy, wiki structure decisions, or how to organize distilled knowledge. This is the "theory" skill — other skills handle specific operations (ingesting, querying, linting).

Audit and maintain the health of the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user wants to check their wiki for issues, find orphaned pages, detect contradictions, identify stale content, fix broken wikilinks, or perform general maintenance on their knowledge base. Also triggers on "clean up the wiki", "what needs fixing", "audit my notes", or "wiki health check".
