wiki-synthesize

Systematically discover synthesis opportunities across the Obsidian wiki — pairs or clusters of concepts that co-occur frequently across pages but have no synthesis page connecting them. Creates new synthesis/ pages that draw explicit cross-cutting conclusions. Use when the user says "synthesize my wiki", "find connections", "what concepts keep coming up together", "/wiki-synthesize", or after a large ingest when the vault has grown significantly.

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, highly actionable multi-step workflow with concrete executable templates and a validation checklist. The main weaknesses are minor verbosity in the inline template/guidance and the absence of an explicit validate-retry loop in the drafting step itself.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validate-and-retry checkpoint in Step 4 (e.g., re-check that each drafted synthesis page adds a non-obvious cross-cutting insight and names a Strongest Objection before finalizing) to reach the 5 anchor for workflow clarity.

Move the full synthesis-page template into a references/ file and link to it from Step 4, keeping only the frontmatter skeleton inline, to tighten conciseness and improve progressive disclosure.

Trim the italicized explanatory placeholders inside the template to one-line cues; the section headers already convey the intent.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Largely lean and task-relevant — it does not explain what an Obsidian wiki or wikilinks are and assumes Claude's competence — but the inline full page template with italicized guidance placeholders and some prose could be trimmed slightly, fitting the efficient-with-minor-over-explanation 4 anchor rather than the maximally lean 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready executable artifacts: a ripgrep backlink command, a complete synthesis-page markdown template with full frontmatter, back-link snippets, log/index formats, and qmd CLI commands, matching the fully-executable 5 anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Steps 1–7 are clearly sequenced with a Quality Checklist verification gate and QMD error-handling guidance, satisfying the batch-operation validation requirement; it falls short of 5 because the synthesis-drafting step itself lacks an explicit validate-fix-retry feedback loop.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clear sections with well-signaled, one-level-deep references to a sibling skill (llm-wiki/SKILL.md) and vault files (WRITING.md, _meta/taxonomy.md, _insights.md); no bundle files exist to split further, but the lengthy inline page template keeps it at 4 rather than 5.

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description that clearly states what the skill does and when to use it, with natural trigger phrases and a distinct niche. The only minor gap is a slightly less exhaustive enumeration of concrete actions, keeping specificity at 4 rather than 5.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (Obsidian wiki synthesis) and several concrete actions — 'discover synthesis opportunities', 'Creates new synthesis/ pages that draw explicit cross-cutting conclusions', identifying co-occurring concept pairs/clusters — but stops just short of the fully comprehensive action list of the 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (discover synthesis opportunities and create synthesis/ pages drawing cross-cutting conclusions) and 'when' (a 'Use when...' clause with concrete trigger phrases), matching the 5 anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes multiple natural phrases users would actually say ('synthesize my wiki', 'find connections', 'what concepts keep coming up together'), the slash command '/wiki-synthesize', and a situational trigger ('after a large ingest'), matching the comprehensive-synonym coverage of the 5 anchor.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (Obsidian wiki cross-cutting synthesis discovery) with distinct, specific triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, matching the minimal-conflict 5 anchor.
