Wiki

This is a personal knowledge base system that treats your Obsidian vault like infrastructure. It scaffolds a three-layer architecture: raw sources stay immutable, a wiki layer holds synthesized notes with cross-references already written, and a hot cache gives you recent context in 500 words so you don't re-read everything. The real trick is cross-project referencing. Point other Claude projects at this vault and they pull context without duplicating it, keeping token costs low. Routes to sub-skills for ingestion, querying, and maintenance. Best for people who read a lot, work across multiple projects, and want their AI to remember things between sessions without constant re-explaining.

Wiki orchestration

Treat the installed product as code and the selected user vault as data. Never use the plugin/product root as a vault, even when the current directory happens to be the product checkout.

Resolve the portable core from this skill's installation and invoke it by absolute path:

CORE=/absolute/product/root/scripts/claude-obsidian.py
python3 "$CORE" --help

Resolve a vault in this order: explicit --vault, CLAUDE_OBSIDIAN_VAULT, the nearest .claude-obsidian.json, then an unambiguous initialized vault at or above the current directory. Fail closed when selection is missing or ambiguous.

Baseline setup requires no network egress. Do not fetch templates, plugins, or remote content unless the user separately approves the destinations and budget.

Set up a vault

Use the deterministic setup commands. Both are dry-run by default.

For a new, separate vault:

python3 "$CORE" init /absolute/path/to/vault \
  --generated-at <ISO-UTC> --operation-id init-reviewed
python3 "$CORE" init /absolute/path/to/vault \
  --generated-at <ISO-UTC> --operation-id init-reviewed \
  --approved-plan-sha256 <reviewed-sha256> --apply
