save
save captures valuable chat content and files it as a permanent wiki page with the right structure and metadata. It analyzes conversations to pick the best note type—synthesis, concept, source, decision, or session—then creates frontmatter, places the note in the correct folder, and updates your wiki's index and log. The skill respects your vault's organization mode and handles concurrent writes safely.

Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How does save file this conversation into my Obsidian vault?
save analyzes your chat content and automatically creates a structured wiki note with proper frontmatter and metadata. It determines the best note type—synthesis, concept, source, decision, or session—then places the file in the correct folder within your vault and updates your wiki's index and log to keep everything organized and discoverable.
What note types can save create when preserving insights?
save supports five note types: synthesis (combined analysis), concept (core ideas), source (reference material), decision (choices and rationale), and session (conversation records). Each type gets tailored frontmatter and folder placement so your vault stays organized by content category and your insights remain easy to find later.
Can save add this to the wiki with automatic organization?
Yes. save captures your conversation, extracts key insights, and files the note with automatic folder placement and index updates. It respects your vault's organization mode, handles concurrent writes safely, and ensures your wiki indexes stay current so new notes integrate seamlessly into your knowledge base.
Does save preserve metadata when I save this analysis?
save creates comprehensive frontmatter for every note, including title, type, tags, and source metadata. This structured approach ensures your saved analyses remain searchable and linked within your vault. The skill also updates your wiki's index and log automatically so you can trace when and where each insight was filed.
What license does the save skill use?
save is released under the MIT license, which permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions. This open licensing makes save accessible for personal knowledge management, team wikis, and integrated workflows without licensing barriers.

Good answers and insights shouldn't disappear into chat history. This skill takes what was just discussed and files it as a permanent wiki page.
The wiki compounds. Save often.
Transport (v1.7+)
The session-note write itself follows the standard transport policy. Read .vault-meta/transport.json (auto-created by bash scripts/detect-transport.sh):
- cli —
obsidian-cli write "$VAULT" "$NOTE" < session.md; seeskills/wiki-cli/SKILL.md - mcp-obsidian / mcpvault —
mcp__obsidian-vault__write_note - filesystem — Claude's
Writetool with absolute path

wiki-cli establishes the Obsidian CLI (v1.12+) as the primary transport layer for vault operations in claude-obsidian v1.7+, handling reads, writes, searches, and mutations without requiring MCP servers or REST API plugins. When the CLI is unavailable, the skill automatically falls back to direct filesystem access. Detection and fallback logic ensure reliable vault access across desktop and headless environments.
wiki-ingest reads external sources—files, URLs, or images—and populates your Obsidian vault by extracting entities and concepts, then creating or updating interconnected wiki pages. It handles delta tracking to skip unchanged sources, supports multiple vault organization modes, and uses file locking to safely coordinate concurrent writes across your knowledge base.
wiki-mode lets you pick an organizational methodology—LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, or Generic—and store it in `.vault-meta/mode.json` so wiki-ingest, save, and autoresearch route new pages consistently. Set your mode once with an interactive setup script; switching modes later only affects newly-filed pages. Each methodology ships with templates and folder conventions tailored to its philosophy.
wiki transforms Obsidian into a compounding knowledge system by scaffolding vault structure from your description, organizing sources and entities, and maintaining a hot cache of recent context. Unlike RAG systems, the wiki persists as a structured artifact where cross-references and contradictions surface automatically. Route ingest, query, and maintenance tasks to specialized sub-skills while the skill handles vault setup, indexing, and knowledge layer management.
wiki-query lets you ask questions against your Obsidian vault and retrieves answers by reading cached content, indexes, and relevant pages. It supports three query depths—quick for simple facts, standard for most questions, and deep for comprehensive synthesis—and can file good answers back into your wiki to compound knowledge over time.
obsidian-bases enables you to transform vault notes into queryable, interactive views using Obsidian's native database layer. Define filters, computed properties, and multiple view types (table, cards, list) in .base files stored as YAML, then embed them directly in your notes. Perfect for dashboards, entity trackers, and content organization.
