Wiki Query

by ar9av · 4K installs

The skill

Wiki Query answers questions from a compiled Obsidian wiki with cited, multi-hop answers, a graph pre-pass and optional semantic search, and it stays read-only.

Only when you ask.

The habit

Cited answers from your own wiki.

↻ Runs by itselfyou ask a question

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

you ask a question. Runs in Claude Code routine.

  • ↻ you ask a question
  • run wiki-query on demand

02

It checks its work

answer cites pages. If a check fails, it tells you.

  • ✓the answer cites specific wiki pages or says the wiki does not cover it
  • ✓the retrieval line reports candidates seen, used and dropped
  • ✓the query is logged with obsidian-wiki memory log QUERY

03

It remembers

wiki query log. The next run reads it first: hot.md and index.md for recent activity and the wiki's scope.

log.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after one question per run; this skill is read-only and never retries into writes.

  1. 01

    Resolve config

    Your agent resolves the vault path and QMD settings, then reads hot.md and index.md.

  2. 02

    Graph pre-pass

    It runs graph-query first; a structural answer is reported straight from the graph with no page reads.

  3. 03

    Index pass

    It greps frontmatter for title, tag and summary matches to build a small candidate set.

  4. 04

    Semantic pass

    If a QMD collection is set it runs a semantic search, dropping any _raw/ paths.

  5. 05

    Section and full read

    It reads only the sections or top pages it needs, following at most one wikilink hop.

  6. 06

    Synthesize

    It answers with cited pages, flags stale or disputed pages, and names gaps.

  7. 07

    Log

    It appends one query line to log.md and changes nothing else.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.

Quick checkRead both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Wiki Query skill helps.

Use it when

  • ✓ answering from existing wiki knowledge
  • ✓ a fast index-only lookup
  • ✓ challenging a plan with your own notes

Skip it when

  • – you want to add or edit pages
  • – you have no compiled wiki yet

Questions

Wiki Query skill, answered.

Can it save a new finding?

No. It is read-only. It proposes the change and routes you to wiki-capture or wiki-update instead.

What is a challenge query?

You ask it to argue against a plan; it searches your own notes for evidence against it and leads with that.

How do I install the Wiki Query skill?

Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from ar9av/obsidian-wiki and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-query.
