claude-obsidian

Run an autonomous research loop on a topic. Searches the web, synthesizes findings, and files everything into the wiki as structured pages.

Open, create, or update a visual canvas — add images, text, PDFs, wiki pages, and banana-generated assets to Obsidian canvas files.

Save the current conversation or a specific insight into the wiki vault as a structured note.

Bootstrap or check the claude-obsidian wiki vault. Reads the wiki skill and runs setup workflow.

Parallel batch ingestion agent for the Obsidian wiki vault. Dispatched when multiple sources need to be ingested simultaneously. Processes one source fully (read, extract, file entities and concepts, update index) then reports what was created and updated. Use when the user says "ingest all", "batch ingest", or provides multiple files at once. <example>Context: User drops 5 transcript files into .raw/ and says "ingest all of these" assistant: "I'll dispatch parallel agents to process all 5 sources simultaneously." </example> <example>Context: User says "process everything in .raw/ that hasn't been ingested yet" assistant: "I'll use wiki-ingest agents to handle each source in parallel." </example>

Comprehensive wiki health check agent. Scans for orphan pages, dead links, stale claims, missing cross-references, frontmatter gaps, and empty sections. Generates a structured lint report. Dispatched when the user says "lint the wiki", "health check", "wiki audit", or "clean up". <example>Context: User says "lint the wiki" after 15 ingests assistant: "I'll dispatch the wiki-lint agent for a full health check." </example> <example>Context: User says "find all orphan pages" assistant: "I'll use the wiki-lint agent to scan for pages with no inbound links." </example>

Autonomous iterative research loop. Takes a topic, runs web searches, fetches sources, synthesizes findings, and files everything into the wiki as structured pages. Based on Karpathy's autoresearch pattern: program.md configures objectives and constraints, the loop runs until depth is reached, output goes directly into the knowledge base. Triggers on: "/autoresearch", "autoresearch", "research [topic]", "deep dive into [topic]", "investigate [topic]", "find everything about [topic]", "research and file", "go research", "build a wiki on".

Visual layer of the wiki. Add images, text cards, PDFs, and wiki pages to Obsidian canvas files with auto-positioning inside zones. Integrates with /banana for image capture. Triggers on: /canvas, canvas new, canvas add image, canvas add text, canvas add pdf, canvas add note, canvas zone, canvas list, canvas from banana, add to canvas, put this on the canvas, open canvas, create canvas.

Strip clutter from web pages before ingesting into the wiki. Removes ads, navigation, headers, footers, and boilerplate: leaving clean readable markdown that saves 40-60% tokens. Triggers on: defuddle, clean this page, strip this url, fetch and clean, clean web content before ingesting.

Triggers on: "save this", "save that answer", "/save", "file this", "save to wiki", "save this session", "file this conversation", "keep this", "save this analysis", "add this to the wiki".

Ingest sources into the Obsidian wiki vault. Reads a source, extracts entities and concepts, creates or updates wiki pages, cross-references, and logs the operation. Supports files, URLs, and batch mode. Triggers on: ingest, process this source, add this to the wiki, read and file this, batch ingest, ingest all of these, ingest this url.

Health check the Obsidian wiki vault. Finds orphan pages, dead wikilinks, stale claims, missing cross-references, frontmatter gaps, and empty sections. Creates or updates Dataview dashboards. Generates canvas maps. Triggers on: "lint", "health check", "clean up wiki", "check the wiki", "wiki maintenance", "find orphans", "wiki audit".

Answer questions using the Obsidian wiki vault. Reads hot cache first, then index, then relevant pages. Synthesizes answers with citations. Files good answers back as wiki pages. Supports quick, standard, and deep modes. Triggers on: what do you know about, query:, what is, explain, summarize, find in wiki, search the wiki, based on the wiki, wiki query quick, wiki query deep.
