SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It identifies which pages in a persistent markdown wiki are going stale or lack factual verification, so you know what knowledge needs review before trusting it. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Staleness Reporting: Runs a Node script to list stale pages and pages missing review, distinguishing reviewed (factual verification) from updated (mere edits). - Drift Coverage Check: Reports semantic-drift evaluation coverage and failures in read-only mode, without claiming unevaluated pages are clean. - Currency Assessment: When asked whether guidance is current, inspects actual claims against supporting evidence for a topic, prioritizing high-use or volatile pages. - Use Case: Before acting on wiki recommendations about a fast-changing library, ask which pages need review and whether the relevant claims are still supported by evidence. ## Quick Start Ask which wiki pages are going stale and whether the recommendations on a specific topic are still current.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check which wiki pages need review in Obsidian?▼

Run the staleness report, which executes a Node script against the obsidian CLI to list stale pages and pages missing review. It separates `reviewed` (factual verification) from `updated` (edits), since a recent edit does not make old claims fresh.

How to tell if wiki recommendations are still current?▼

Inspect the actual claims and their supporting evidence for the requested topic, prioritizing high-use or volatile guidance. Metadata alone shows what needs review; verifying currency requires checking claims against evidence and reporting what remains unverified.

What is the difference between reviewed and updated page metadata?▼

The `reviewed` field records factual verification of a page's claims against evidence, while `updated` only records that an edit occurred. Refreshing embeddings or adding links counts as an update but never qualifies as a review.

Does the staleness report modify my wiki or embeddings?▼

No, the report is strictly read-only: it opens no operation, writes no log, and refreshes no index. The drift coverage check is also read-only; bounded embedding maintenance that writes a cache belongs to the separate lint workflow.

What happens if the obsidian CLI query fails during a staleness check?▼

A failed, invalid, or empty CLI query falls back to scoped wiki files at the resolved vault root. A missing vault root or wiki directory is reported as an explicit failure rather than an empty report.
