SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detects broken links, structural issues, missing metadata, and knowledge gaps in an Obsidian Knowledge MEMO vault so you can keep the system usable and discoverable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vault-wide integrity scanning: Checks wikilinks for broken targets and identifies isolated “island” cards that have zero backlinks.
  • Schema and metadata validation: Verifies required frontmatter and enforces the expected four-dimensional tag system while flagging noisy tags.
  • Knowledge-system completeness checks: Audits Clippings inventory freshness and validates MOC completeness and internal link validity.
  • Actionable reporting: Produces a scored Vault Health Report and highlights high-severity items first, without performing destructive edits.

Quick Start

Ask the AI agent to run the lint skill to generate today’s Vault Health Report and summarize the highest-priority issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a vault health check to find broken wikilinks and island cards?

Run a vault health check by invoking the lint scan to identify broken wikilinks and isolated island cards with zero backlinks, outputting a scored health report without modifying content.

What is frontmatter validation and how does it enforce a four-dimensional tag system?

Frontmatter validation verifies required metadata fields and enforces the expected four-dimensional tag system by scanning your vault and flagging noisy tags in a structured health report.

How do I audit MOC completeness and validate internal links in my knowledge base?

Audit MOC completeness and validate internal links by running the vault integrity scan, which checks Clippings inventory freshness and MOC link validity, producing a report highlighting high-severity issues first.

Does the vault health check automatically fix metadata drift and broken links?

No, the vault health check does not automatically fix metadata drift or broken links; it performs read-only scans and writes only a structured health report, leaving content repairs to the user.

Do I need a SCHEMA.md file to validate frontmatter and check vault integrity?

Yes, you need a SCHEMA.md file because the vault integrity check reads it to determine validation rules for required frontmatter, tag systems, and structural consistency across Cards, Clippings, and MOCs.

What is the best way to detect knowledge gaps and prevent link rot in an Obsidian MEMO vault?

The best way to detect knowledge gaps and prevent link rot is to run scheduled maintenance using the lint command, which scans Cards, Clippings, and MOCs to identify structural issues and produces an actionable health report.
