About the project

obsidian-wiki is a framework that helps AI agents build and maintain an interconnected knowledge base from text-based material in an Obsidian vault. It is for people who want their agents to remember discoveries, connect related information, and answer questions with wiki-link citations. Catalogue add-ons provide the agent skills, instructions, agents, and configuration used to create and maintain these wikis.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wiki-dedup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Wiki Dedup — Identity Resolution and Page-Level Deduplication

You are finding and merging wiki pages that cover the same concept under different names. This is a write-heavy, potentially destructive skill — page merges cannot be automatically undone. Work carefully and confirm before acting in merge mode.

Follow the Retrieval Primitives table in llm-wiki/SKILL.md. The candidate-detection pass uses only frontmatter and titles (cheap). Only open full page bodies for confirmed candidate pairs.

Before You Start

Writing profile: Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the Writing Profile Resolution section in llm-wiki/SKILL.md. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence. WRITING.md preferences apply only to newly drafted or rewritten natural-language Markdown; preserve source content and structured records.

  1. Resolve config — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in llm-wiki/SKILL.md (inline @name override → walk up CWD for .env → global config → prompt setup). This gives OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH and OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT.
  2. Read index.md to get the full page inventory with one-line descriptions and tags.
  3. Read log.md briefly — if a dedup run just happened, note what was already merged.

Modes

Mode Flag Behavior
Audit (default) Report candidates only — no writes
Merge --merge Show each confirmed pair, ask for confirmation before merging
Auto-merge --auto Merge all high-confidence pairs (score ≥ 0.90) non-interactively

If the user doesn't specify, run in Audit mode and present findings before asking whether to proceed.

Step 1: Build the Page Registry

Glob all .md files in the vault (excluding _archives/, _raw/, .obsidian/, index.md, log.md, hot.md, _insights.md, and any file that contains redirects_to: in its frontmatter — those are already merged redirect stubs).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
