obsidian-wiki

Workflow for working with the user on changing how Obsidian looks using CSS snippets. Use this whenever the user asks to restyle Obsidian, tune a vault's visual layout, adjust tabs, sidebars, note surfaces, properties, backlinks, graph panes, file explorer rows, icons, links, shadows, active states, or CSS snippets. Also use it when the user says a visual CSS change did nothing, still looks wrapped, is not lifted, is unreadable, or needs to be refactored without changing the current appearance.

Browse and compare wiki knowledge by which AI tool originally produced it. Use this skill when the user says "/memory-bridge", "browse codex memory", "what did codex know about X", "show me claude knowledge", "cross-tool memory", "what does hermes know that claude doesn't", "show me knowledge from <tool>", "compare my AI tool memories", or wants to explore knowledge gaps between tools. Works from any project. Diff mode ("what's different", "unique to codex", "gaps between tools") is the killer feature — it surfaces blind spots between tools that the user may not know exist.

The foundational knowledge distillation pattern for building and maintaining an AI-powered Obsidian wiki. Based on Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki architecture. Use this skill whenever the user wants to understand the wiki pattern, set up a new knowledge base, or needs guidance on the three-layer architecture (raw sources → wiki → schema). Also use when discussing knowledge management strategy, wiki structure decisions, or how to organize distilled knowledge. This is the "theory" skill — other skills handle specific operations (ingesting, querying, linting).

Validate whether an implementation matches its stated goal. Use this skill when a skill or agent wants a second opinion on its own output, when the user says "check this implementation", "validate what you did", "is this correct?", "review the output", or "did you do this right?". Also spawned automatically as a subagent by other skills (memory-bridge, daily-update) to self-check their outputs before presenting to the user. Returns a structured pass/warn/fail verdict with specific actionable issues.

Ingest Hermes agent history into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user wants to mine their past Hermes sessions for knowledge, import their ~/.hermes folder, extract insights from previous Hermes conversations, or says things like "process my Hermes history", "add my Hermes memories to the wiki", "ingest ~/.hermes", or "what have I worked on in Hermes". Also triggers when the user mentions Hermes memories, Hermes sessions, ~/.hermes/memories, or Hermes skill logs.

Color-code the Obsidian graph view by rewriting `.obsidian/graph.json` colorGroups. Use this skill when the user says "color my graph", "color code obsidian", "colorize the graph", "color the graph by tag", "color by category", "highlight visibility in graph", "make the graph colorful", "distinguish tags in graph", or wants nodes in Obsidian's graph view tinted by tag, folder, or visibility. Generates a `colorGroups` array from the vault's actual tags/categories and merges it into the existing graph.json without clobbering other graph settings. Always backs up first.

Run the daily wiki maintenance cycle: check all source freshness, update the index, and regenerate hot.md. Use this skill when the user says "/daily-update", "run the daily update", "update everything", "morning sync", "refresh the wiki index", or when triggered by the launchd cron at 9 AM. Also use to set up or verify the cron + terminal notification infrastructure for the first time ("set up the daily cron", "install the terminal notification", "how do I get the morning reminder?").

Scan the Obsidian wiki and automatically discover missing cross-references between pages. Use this skill when the user says "link my pages", "find missing links", "cross-reference", "connect my wiki", "add wikilinks", "what pages should be linked", or after any large ingestion to ensure new pages are woven into the existing knowledge graph. Also trigger when the user mentions "orphan pages" in the context of wanting to connect them, or says things like "my wiki feels disconnected" or "pages aren't linked well". This is a write-heavy skill — it actually modifies pages to add links, unlike wiki-lint which just reports issues.

Ingest GitHub Copilot CLI session history into an Obsidian wiki as distilled knowledge pages. Use this skill when the user wants to capture their Copilot CLI sessions into a personal wiki — extracting architecture decisions, debug notes, and patterns into searchable Obsidian pages. Triggers on phrases like "ingest my copilot sessions into obsidian", "add my copilot history to my wiki", "pull my copilot session history into the vault", "capture what I've learned from copilot into obsidian", "just the new sessions since last time", or "mine patterns across my copilot sessions". Also triggers when the user mentions session-store.db, ~/.copilot/session-state, or VS Code copilot-chat transcripts in the context of building a wiki or knowledge base. Does NOT trigger for general copilot usage questions, searching sessions, or backing up history.

Ingest Codex CLI conversation history into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user wants to mine their past Codex sessions for knowledge, import their ~/.codex folder, extract insights from previous coding sessions, or says things like "process my Codex history", "add my Codex conversations to the wiki", or "what have I discussed in Codex before". Also triggers when the user mentions .codex sessions, rollout files, session_index.jsonl, or Codex transcript logs.

Ingest Claude Code conversation history into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user wants to mine their past Claude conversations for knowledge, import their ~/.claude folder, extract insights from previous coding sessions, or says things like "process my Claude history", "add my conversations to the wiki", "what have I discussed with Claude before". Also triggers when the user mentions their .claude folder, Claude projects, session data, past conversation logs, local-agent-mode sessions, or audit logs.
