Wiki Rebuild

Archives your entire wiki to a timestamped snapshot, optionally nukes everything and lets you rebuild from scratch, or restores from a previous archive. Use it when your wiki has drifted too far from sources and incremental fixes won't cut it, or before making major structural changes. The archive system is straightforward: timestamped folders in `_archives/` with metadata about what got saved. It always archives before doing anything destructive, never touches your `.obsidian/` settings, and won't auto-run the rebuild ingests for you. You pick what to re-ingest and in what order. Think of it as version control for knowledge bases that have gotten messy.

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

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
Read .manifest.json to understand current state
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
