Knowledge Review

Workflow

1. Select Random Starting Note

obsidian random:read folder="02-SlipBox"

This selects AND reads a random note in one command. Note its core concept, existing wikilinks (TOPIC, RELATED_TO, inline), and tag type.

2. Explore Connections (1-3 Hops)

Use the wikilink-graph-bfs skill for structured multi-hop BFS exploration.

At each hop, enrich the analysis with direct link queries:

obsidian backlinks file="<Note Name>"   # what links here?
obsidian links file="<Note Name>"       # what does it link to?

Track exploration path: [[Start]] → [[Hop1]] → [[Hop2]]

3. Review for Issues

At each note, check for:

• Outdated: Facts that may have changed, stale references
• Dead wikilinks: Check for broken links:

  obsidian links file="<Note Name>"    # list outgoing links
  obsidian unresolved                  # vault-wide broken link detection
  

• Contradictions: Conflicting claims or inconsistent definitions across notes
• Missing connections: Notes that should link but don't, concepts without wikilinks, empty RELATED_TO
• Schema gaps: Sparse Overview sections, missing examples, incomplete TOPIC hierarchy

4. Search for Hidden Connections

Use the obsidian CLI to find notes sharing key concepts from the walk that aren't already linked:

obsidian search query="<key concept>" path="02-SlipBox" format=json

5. Output Report

Format as:

• Walk path: [[A]] → [[B]] → [[C]]
• Issues found: Group by type (Outdated, Dead wikilinks, Contradictions, Missing connections, Schema gaps)
• Recommended actions: Numbered list with specific edits

6. Apply Fixes

For each action, confirm with user before editing.

• Metadata fixes (scalar properties like dates):

  obsidian property:set name=last_updated value=<YYYY-MM-DD> type=date file="<Note Name>"
  

• Content additions/corrections and list-type property edits (tags, TOPIC, RELATED_TO): Use the Edit tool for targeted insertions and replacements.
