SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It turns an accumulated personal knowledge vault into a queryable source, so you can ask questions, get briefings, and compare topics without manually searching through dozens of notes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Knowledge Q&A: Reads the vault's hot-cache, index, and relevant pages to answer questions with explicit citations to wiki pages. - Session Briefing: Generates a structured status briefing covering current state, open tasks, open questions, and pending raw files to ingest. - Autoresearch fallback: When the wiki lacks an answer, it can search the web, save results to raw sources, ingest them, and answer from the updated wiki. - Use Case: Ask "what is the project status?" at the start of a work session and receive a briefing with pending tasks, open questions, and unprocessed files. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to give you a briefing of everything currently known in the wiki about your project.

Frequently Asked Questions about wiki-query

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I query my Obsidian vault with an AI assistant?▼

Ask a natural-language question about your vault's domain, and the skill reads the index, hot-cache, and relevant pages to answer with explicit page citations. It follows wikilinks to gather connected context before responding.

How to generate a project status briefing from a knowledge base?▼

Trigger the briefing with phrases like "briefing" or "what needs to be done". The skill reads the hot-cache, overview, operations and question paths, and raw folder, then produces a structured summary of state, tasks, open questions, and pending ingests.

What happens when the wiki does not contain the answer?▼

The skill explicitly states the gap and proposes next steps: searching raw sources, running web autoresearch, or recording an open question page. Web-sourced results are saved to raw files and ingested before answering.

Can wiki answers be saved as tables, kanban boards, or canvases?▼

Yes, answers can be output as Markdown pages, comparison tables, lists, kanban boards, JSON Canvas maps, or structured base views. Each format delegates to a companion skill such as obsidian-markdown, wiki-artifact, json-canvas, or obsidian-bases.

Does the briefing get saved permanently in the wiki?▼

No, purely volatile briefings are not saved to the wiki. Only answers with durable value are proposed for saving through the wiki-save skill, keeping the vault free of ephemeral session content.
