Init — Vault Scaffold

Purpose

Create new LLM Wiki vault from scratch. Single user-facing skill, invoked via /wiki:init slash command.

Trigger phrases

• /wiki:init (slash command — only entry point)

Inputs (collected interactively)

• vault_name (kebab-case slug, used in Obsidian CLI)
• vault_path (absolute path on disk)
• Optional: domain seed list

Outputs

$vault_path/
├── wiki.config.md           # schema_version: 0.4.0
├── CLAUDE.md                # split into ingest / query / schema parts
├── .gitignore
└── wiki/
    ├── index.md

Workflow

1. Collect inputs via AskUserQuestion (vault_name, vault_path).
2. Validate target path is empty or doesn't exist.
3. Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/init-vault.sh --name $vault_name --path $vault_path.
4. Print quick-start:

   Vault scaffolded at $vault_path
   
   Quick start:
   - Add Obsidian vault: open $vault_path in Obsidian
   - First research: invoke wiki-researcher with "research <topic>"
   - First capture: drag a URL/PDF and say "save this"
   - Status anytime: /wiki:status
   

Quality gate

• All required dirs created
• wiki.config.md has schema_version: 0.4.0 and required fields
• wiki/hot.md is empty rolling cache template
• umask 077 honored (no world-readable files)
