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-rebuild 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 11d 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 Rebuild — Archive, Rebuild, Restore

You are performing a destructive operation on the wiki. Always archive first, always confirm with the user before proceeding.

Before You Start

  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 optional QMD settings such as QMD_WIKI_COLLECTION
  2. Read .manifest.json to understand current state
  3. Confirm the user's intent. This skill supports three modes:
    • Archive only — snapshot current wiki, no rebuild
    • Archive + Rebuild — snapshot, then reprocess all sources from scratch
    • Restore — bring back a previous archive

The Archive System

Archives live at $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/_archives/. Each archive is a timestamped directory containing a full copy of the wiki state at that point.

archive-meta.json

{
  "archived_at": "2026-04-06T10:30:00Z",
  "reason": "rebuild",
  "total_pages": 87,
  "total_sources": 42,
  "total_projects": 6,
  "vault_path": "/Users/name/Knowledge",
  "manifest_snapshot": ".manifest.json"
}

Mode 1: Archive Only

When the user wants to snapshot the current state without rebuilding.

Steps:

  1. Create archive directory: _archives/YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SSZ/
  2. Copy all category directories, index.md, log.md, .manifest.json, and projects/ into the archive
  3. Write archive-meta.json with reason "snapshot"
  4. Append to log.md:
    - [TIMESTAMP] ARCHIVE reason="snapshot" pages=87 destination="_archives/2026-04-06T10-30-00Z"
    
  5. Optionally refresh QMD if log.md is indexed and QMD_WIKI_COLLECTION is configured (see "QMD Refresh After Live Wiki Changes").
  6. Report: "Archived 87 pages. Current wiki is untouched."

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.
