SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Keeping a growing personal knowledge wiki trustworthy is hard: claims lose their sources, pages drift from the evidence they cite, and edits silently break links or frontmatter. This Skill defines the shared evidence, provenance, and vault-mutation rules so every read, answer, or maintenance operation on the wiki stays verifiable against its captured sources. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence and provenance enforcement: Raw clippings are immutable, every derived page declares sources: links back to its evidence, and answers must cite the pages they rest on. - Scoped policy loading: A routing table points each operation (authoring, relinking, ingest, maintenance) to exactly the reference file it needs, such as evidence policy, authoring conventions, or operation completion steps. - Safe vault mutations: A defined operation lifecycle (op-begin, validate, log, op-commit, optional sync) governs every write, with filesystem fallbacks when the Obsidian CLI is unavailable. - Use Case: When asked a question about a project, you search the vault, answer with citations to specific source pages, and disclose contradictions rather than inventing content; when asked to update documentation, you follow the canonical placement table and commit through the logged operation flow. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to answer a question from the wiki vault with citations, or to update a project document following the vault's evidence and placement rules.

Frequently Asked Questions about wiki-maintainer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I answer questions from an Obsidian vault with citations?▼

Search the vault's wiki pages and MOCs, then synthesize an answer that cites the specific source pages it rests on. Verify quotes against the raw clippings, and disclose contradictions or gaps instead of inventing content.

How do I safely edit an Obsidian vault from an AI agent?▼

Open an operation with op-begin.mjs before the first write, make exact-path edits preserving unrelated changes, refresh affected generated catalogs, log the operation, and commit with op-commit.mjs. Never stage the whole vault or hand-edit generated index fences.

Can wiki maintenance work when the Obsidian app is not running?▼

Yes. Filesystem helpers handle reads, search, health checks, and Markdown edits without the Obsidian CLI. Only app-specific actions like opening notes in the UI or executing plugin commands require a running Obsidian instance.

What are the limitations of structural wiki health checks?▼

Structural checks validate links, citations, and frontmatter but cannot establish factual correctness. A clean graph still requires sampling changed or high-use pages and verifying claims against the captured raw evidence.

Why must raw clippings never be edited in a knowledge vault?▼

Raw clippings are the immutable evidence layer that every wiki page cites. Editing them would break the provenance chain, so only clipping tools create them and only pipeline tooling updates their frontmatter.
