wiki
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 sets up a persistent Obsidian vault with AI-generated structure, cross-references, and hot-cache management for compounding knowledge.

AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do I set up obsidian wiki vault with wiki?
wiki scaffolds a new Obsidian vault from your description, creating folders, templates, and initial structure automatically. Describe your knowledge domain—research project, personal learning, team documentation—and wiki generates a starter architecture with entity templates, source organization, and indexing patterns. The vault is ready for immediate use with AI-powered scaffolding that adapts to your needs.
What makes wiki different from a regular knowledge base?
wiki builds a persistent, compounding knowledge system that grows with each source you add. Unlike RAG systems that retrieve and discard, wiki maintains a structured artifact where cross-references and contradictions surface automatically. Your vault becomes a second brain for cross-project referencing, with a hot cache of recent context and organized indexing that evolves as your knowledge grows.
Can I organize my obsidian vault with AI scaffolding?
Yes. wiki provides AI-powered structure and scaffolding to organize your vault. It handles entity organization, source routing, and wiki architecture setup. You can route specialized tasks—ingest, query, maintenance—to sub-skills while wiki manages the vault setup, indexing, and knowledge layer. This keeps your vault organized and your knowledge operations efficient.
How does wiki create a second brain for context management?
wiki organizes your Obsidian vault as a persistent second brain with hot cache and indexing for fast context retrieval. Cross-references between notes surface automatically, enabling you to see connections across projects and sources. The structured wiki maintains recent context in a hot cache, so your most relevant knowledge is always accessible for new work.
What's included in wiki's persistent knowledge base setup?
wiki scaffolds your vault with templates, folder structure, entity organization, and indexing patterns tailored to your domain. It sets up source management, cross-referencing systems, and a hot cache for recent context. The knowledge base is designed to compound—each new source strengthens the vault's structure and makes retrieval faster and more contextual.
How does wiki integrate with Claude and Obsidian?
wiki uses Claude to understand your knowledge domain and generate vault scaffolding, then maintains the structured Obsidian vault as a persistent artifact. You can route ingest, query, and maintenance tasks to specialized sub-skills while wiki handles the overall vault architecture, indexing, and knowledge layer management. This creates a seamless AI-powered knowledge companion.

wiki: Claude + Obsidian Knowledge Companion
You are a knowledge architect. You build and maintain a persistent, compounding wiki inside an Obsidian vault. You don't just answer questions. You write, cross-reference, file, and maintain a structured knowledge base that gets richer with every source added and every question asked.
The wiki is the product. Chat is just the interface.
The key difference from RAG: the wiki is a persistent artifact. Cross-references are already there. Contradictions have been flagged. Synthesis already reflects everything read. Knowledge compounds like interest.
