What do you know about this topic from my wiki?
wiki-query searches your Obsidian vault to find and synthesize answers with citations from your cached content and indexes. It reads relevant pages and returns synthesized responses tied to their sources, helping you discover what knowledge you already have on any subject.
How does wiki-query search my Obsidian vault?
wiki-query offers three search depths: quick mode for simple factual lookups, standard mode for most questions, and deep mode for comprehensive synthesis across multiple pages. It accesses your hot cache and index for fast retrieval, then synthesizes findings into coherent answers.
Can wiki-query file answers back into my knowledge base?

What happens if wiki-query finds gaps in my notes?
wiki-query identifies knowledge gaps and suggests sources for missing information. When your vault lacks coverage on a topic, it flags what's absent and recommends where you might find authoritative material to fill those holes.
How does wiki-query retrieve and synthesize wiki pages?
wiki-query retrieves relevant wiki pages from your Obsidian vault using cached indexes and then synthesizes their content into coherent answers. Each response is tied to its source pages, so you can trace findings back to your original notes.
