Framework for AI agents to build and maintain a digital brain through Obsidian wiki
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.
Import a wiki knowledge graph into the current vault — either from a graph.json export file (stubs) or from an OKF (Open Knowledge Format) markdown bundle (full page bodies). Use this skill when the user says "import wiki", "import from export", "load graph.json", "import vault", "import OKF bundle", "import OKF"…
Ingest any source into the Obsidian wiki by distilling its knowledge into interconnected wiki pages. Handles structured documents (PDFs, markdown, articles, papers, notes, folders), raw/unstructured text (chat exports, conversation logs, Slack/Discord threads, meeting transcripts, CSV/JSON data, journal entries…
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…
Turn a wiki topic into a cited Markdown briefing, plain-language explanation, or progressive lecture. Use this skill for topic-based briefing, explanation, and lecture requests that must stay within the evidence compiled in an Obsidian vault.
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…
Autonomously research a topic via multi-round web search, synthesize findings, and file structured results into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user says "/wiki-research [topic]", "research X", "find everything about Y", "do a deep dive on Z", "autonomous research on X", or wants comprehensive, web-sourced…
Initialize a new Obsidian wiki vault with the correct structure, special files, and configuration. Use this skill when the user wants to set up a new wiki from scratch, initialize the vault structure, create the .env file, or says things like "set up my wiki", "initialize obsidian", "create a new vault", "get started…
Review and promote staged wiki pages to their final locations. Use when WIKISTAGEDWRITES=true and the user says "/wiki-stage-commit", "review staged pages", "commit staged writes", "promote staged pages", "approve staged changes", or "what's waiting in staging". Shows each staged file, lets the user accept or reject…
Switch between multiple Obsidian wiki vault profiles. Use this skill when the user says "/wiki-switch NAME", "switch to my work wiki", "switch vault", "change wiki", "which wiki am I on", "list my wikis", "show my vaults", "create a new vault config", or "add a new wiki profile". The skill manages named config files…
Systematically discover synthesis opportunities across the Obsidian wiki — pairs or clusters of concepts that co-occur frequently across pages but have no synthesis page connecting them. Creates new synthesis/ pages that draw explicit cross-cutting conclusions. Use when the user says "synthesize my wiki", "find…
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…
