Wiki Status

by ar9av · 3K installs

The skill

Wiki Status reports an Obsidian wiki's ingestion state: the new, modified and deleted source delta, a token footprint, a ranked next-steps list and optional structural insights.

Only when you ask.

The habit

Always know what the wiki needs.

↻ Runs by itselfweekly status check

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

weekly status check. Runs in cron.

  • ↻ weekly status check
  • 0 8 * * 1

02

It checks its work

delta and next steps. If a check fails, it tells you.

  • ✓the manifest at .manifest.json is read
  • ✓the delta lists new, modified and deleted sources with counts
  • ✓a ranked What to Do Next list is produced

03

It remembers

ingest manifest. The next run reads it first: the manifest's ingested sources and last_updated time.

.manifest.json

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after one status pass per run; it only reads and reports, except _insights.md in insights mode.

  1. 01

    Resolve config

    Your agent resolves the vault path and source directories and reads .manifest.json.

  2. 02

    Scan sources

    It inventories documents, Claude history and Codex history available to ingest right now.

  3. 03

    Compute delta

    It classifies each source as new, modified, touched, unchanged, deleted or unavailable.

  4. 04

    Report status

    It writes the overview, delta tables and an estimated token footprint.

  5. 05

    Rank next steps

    It gathers signals and renders the ranked What to Do Next list, capped at six items.

  6. 06

    Log

    It appends one status line to log.md.

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 Status skill helps.

Use it when

  • ✓ checking what is left to ingest
  • ✓ seeing the delta since last ingest
  • ✓ finding the wiki's hubs and bridges

Skip it when

  • – the vault has almost no pages
  • – you want to ingest rather than audit

Questions

Wiki Status skill, answered.

Does it ingest the new sources?
