SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates the back-and-forth of asking where information lives by researching your Obsidian wiki and filing a complete, cited answer back into the vault.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gap-aware wiki research: searches Concepts/Entities/Sources using your question topic, classifies coverage as sufficient/partial/empty, and decides whether web research is needed.
  • Assisted knowledge filing: creates a new Source page for web-derived material or updates an existing Concept/Entity when knowledge already exists.
  • Index maintenance + traceability: updates index.md, preserves alphabetical ordering, and ensures claims are supported by cited Source links.

Quick Start

Ask the wiki-query skill: “what does my wiki say about X?” to research, synthesize, and file a new Concepts/Source page in your vault.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a question and file the answer into an Obsidian wiki?▼

To research a question in an Obsidian wiki, the Skill parses your query, searches existing vault pages for coverage, and files a synthesized answer as a new markdown page with proper frontmatter and source citations.

What happens when my Obsidian vault only has partial knowledge for a research query?▼

When vault coverage is partial, the workflow classifies the gaps and uses web research to fill missing aspects, creating a new Source page for the external material while updating existing Concept or Entity pages.

How does concept synthesis work when filing researched answers in a knowledge base?▼

Concept synthesis works by parsing the question type, searching existing Concepts, Entities, and Sources markdown pages, and combining found vault content with web-supplemented research to produce a cited, filed answer.

Can I automatically update the index file when adding new research pages to an Obsidian vault?▼

Yes, the workflow updates the index.md file automatically when filing new research pages, preserving alphabetical ordering and maintaining traceability between synthesized claims and their cited Source links.

Do I need an existing folder structure to file web research into my Obsidian wiki?▼

You need an Obsidian vault with Concepts, Entities, and Sources directories to support the knowledge filing process, as the workflow creates dated Source markdown files and named Concept pages with specific frontmatter.
