SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Run the daily wiki maintenance cycle to ensure sources are fresh, the index is up-to-date, and hot.md is regenerated, keeping the knowledge base reliable and timely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Source freshness check: compares ingested metadata against file modification times to identify fresh, stale, or missing sources.
  • Index reconciliation: ensures index.md reflects the vault content by adding missing pages and removing or flagging removed ones.
  • hot.md regeneration: generates a semantic snapshot of recent activity to warm context for the next session.
  • State management & notifications: writes a state file for downstream tools and can trigger terminal notifications or validation steps.
  • Automation & scheduling: designed to run via cron or on-demand via the /daily-update command to keep the wiki up-to-date.

Quick Start

Run the daily-update command to perform the full maintenance cycle for the wiki.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate daily wiki maintenance for an Obsidian-style knowledge graph?▼

Automate daily wiki maintenance by running a scheduled cycle that checks source freshness, reconciles the index, and regenerates hot.md. This ensures your vault content stays reliable and timely without manual intervention.

What does regenerating hot.md do for my knowledge base context?▼

Regenerating hot.md creates a semantic snapshot of recent vault activity to warm context for your next session. It helps quickly surface the most relevant and recently updated information in your knowledge graph.

How do I check source freshness across an Obsidian vault that ingests many files?▼

Check source freshness by comparing ingested metadata against file modification times. This process identifies fresh, stale, or missing sources to maintain consistent state across your wiki.

Can I run index reconciliation on-demand instead of using cron scheduling?▼

Yes, you can run the maintenance cycle on-demand via the daily-update command instead of relying solely on cron scheduling. This adds missing pages and flags removed ones to ensure index.md accurately reflects vault content.

What is the best way to keep a vault index up-to-date when ingesting multiple sources?▼

The best way to keep a vault index up-to-date is through automated index reconciliation during a maintenance cycle. It ensures index.md reflects vault content by adding missing pages and removing or flagging removed sources.

What happens after a daily wiki maintenance cycle completes its validation step?▼

After completing the maintenance cycle and validation step, the process writes a state file for downstream tools and can trigger terminal notifications. This provides a consistent state record for subsequent workflows.
