wiki-think

name	wiki-think
description	Argues with your notes in an Obsidian-based LLM knowledge wiki — challenges assumptions (devil's advocate), surfaces non-obvious connections, or asks Socratic questions. Optionally saves the result as a wiki page. Triggers when the user runs /wiki:think, asks to "challenge this note", "poke holes in my thinking", "find connections between my notes", or "ask me Socratic questions about X".

wiki-think

When to invoke

The user runs /wiki:think <topic-or-page> [--mode challenge|connect|socratic] [--save], or asks the assistant to challenge a note, find connections across notes, or ask probing questions about a topic in the wiki.

Configuration

Same vault layout as wiki-ingest. Default mode (no --mode) is challenge. Modes are combinable: --mode challenge,connect.

Workflow

1. Load context (index-first). Read <wiki-root>/_wiki/index.md, identify the page(s) matching the topic, and read them plus their directly related: pages.

2. Apply the requested mode(s) using references/thinking-modes.md:

   • challenge — surface weak assumptions, counter-examples, and blind spots.
   • connect — find non-obvious links between distant pages; propose new cross-references or a hub theme.
   • socratic — ask a short sequence of probing questions instead of answering.

3. Output to terminal by default.

4. --save → write <wiki-root>/_wiki/thinking/<slug>.md with frontmatter kind: wiki, type: thinking, sources: set to the referenced page paths, related: set to those pages (bidirectional — add the back-reference on each). Then run the write-time validation gate:

   python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_shared/scripts/validate.py" \
     --vault-root "<wiki-root>" --target "<thinking-file>" \
     --rules frontmatter,kindtype,deadlinks,asymmetric
   

   Resolve critical findings before finalizing. type: thinking is exempt from the empty-sources: semantic rule, so a thinking page with no sources is valid.

Output

• Terminal: the challenge / connections / questions for the chosen mode(s).
• With --save: the created thinking/<slug>.md path and any cross-references added.
