Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do I ingest sources into Obsidian wiki with wiki-ingest?
wiki-ingest reads external sources—files, URLs, or images—and automatically populates your Obsidian vault by extracting entities and concepts, then creating or updating interconnected wiki pages with proper markdown formatting. The tool handles the entire pipeline from ingestion through cross-referencing, so you can feed it raw material and get structured wiki content.
Can wiki-ingest process multiple files at once?
Yes. wiki-ingest supports batch mode ingestion of multiple sources while tracking changes and avoiding duplicate ingestion. It uses delta tracking to skip unchanged sources and file locking to safely coordinate concurrent writes, so you can process many files together without conflicts or redundant updates to your vault.
What happens when I add an article to wiki vault automatically?
wiki-ingest extracts entities and concepts from the article, creates new wiki pages for those entities, and cross-references them with proper Obsidian markdown links. It also maintains wiki consistency through delta tracking, locking, and contradiction detection to ensure your vault stays coherent as content grows.
Does wiki-ingest support different vault organization modes?
wiki-ingest supports multiple vault organization modes including generic, LYT, Zettelkasten, and PARA, with mode-aware filing so content is automatically placed according to your chosen structure. This lets you maintain your preferred knowledge management system while automating the ingestion and cross-referencing work.
How does wiki-ingest handle duplicate or conflicting content?
wiki-ingest uses delta tracking to detect which sources have already been processed or changed, skipping redundant ingestion. File locking prevents concurrent write conflicts, and contradiction detection identifies conflicts in your wiki so you can resolve them manually while the tool maintains overall vault consistency.
Can wiki-ingest ingest images into my wiki?
Yes. wiki-ingest accepts multiple source types including files, URLs, and images. When you ingest an image, it extracts relevant entities and concepts, creates associated wiki pages, and embeds or links the image appropriately within your Obsidian vault structure.

wiki-ingest: Source Ingestion
Read the source. Write the wiki. Cross-reference everything. A single source typically touches 8-15 wiki pages.
Syntax standard: Write all Obsidian Markdown using proper Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Wikilinks as [[Note Name]], callouts as > [!type] Title, embeds as ![[file]], properties as YAML frontmatter. If the kepano/obsidian-skills plugin is installed, prefer its canonical obsidian-markdown skill for Obsidian syntax reference. Otherwise, follow the guidance in this skill.
Transport (v1.7+)
Before mutating any vault file, consult .vault-meta/transport.json (auto-created by bash scripts/detect-transport.sh). Use the preferred transport per the fallback chain:
- cli —
obsidian-cli write "$VAULT" "$NOTE" < content.md(orappend,

wiki-lint scans your Obsidian vault to surface structural problems: orphaned pages, broken wikilinks, missing cross-references, incomplete frontmatter, and empty sections. It generates a timestamped health report, updates Dataview dashboards, and can create visual canvas maps of your vault's domain structure.
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.
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.
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.
Second Brain Ingest processes raw source documents into organized wiki pages, automatically identifying and linking entities, concepts, and related topics. It guides you through extracting key takeaways, creating source summaries, and updating your knowledge graph with new information while flagging contradictions with existing content.
Transform loose content into a living knowledge base by ingesting articles, documents, or notes into organized wiki pages. The skill automatically extracts concepts, products, and patterns, creates interconnected pages with cross-references, and maintains a searchable index—all while preventing duplicates and keeping your knowledge network coherent.
