SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping a memory wiki vault consistent with Obsidian conventions is error-prone: broken wikilinks, unstable filenames, and missing frontmatter break dashboards and Dataview queries. This Skill guides the maintenance of an Obsidian-friendly vault so generated content coexists safely with handwritten notes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Vault Mode Verification: Starts from openclaw wiki status and openclaw wiki obsidian status to confirm the vault render mode and whether the official Obsidian CLI is available before acting. - Obsidian CLI Helpers: Uses dedicated commands like openclaw wiki obsidian search, openclaw wiki obsidian open, openclaw wiki obsidian command, and openclaw wiki obsidian daily instead of raw shell calls. - Obsidian-Native Formatting: Enforces [[Wikilinks]], stable filenames, and frontmatter compatible with Obsidian dashboards and Dataview-style queries, while keeping generated sections deterministic. - Use Case: A user renders their memory wiki in Obsidian mode and wants to add a new note; the Skill checks CLI availability, creates the note with proper frontmatter and wikilinks, and avoids destructive renames without a link-repair plan. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check the wiki vault status and create a new Obsidian-compatible note with wikilinks and frontmatter in the memory wiki vault.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain an Obsidian vault with generated wiki content?

Start by running openclaw wiki status to confirm the vault render mode is obsidian, then use openclaw wiki obsidian status to check CLI availability. Create notes with [[Wikilinks]], stable filenames, and frontmatter so generated sections stay deterministic alongside handwritten notes.

How do I check if the official Obsidian CLI is available?

Run openclaw wiki obsidian status before shelling out to any Obsidian commands. Do not assume the Obsidian app is installed, running, or configured; always probe the CLI first before depending on it.

What Obsidian CLI commands can I use for the wiki vault?

The dedicated helpers are openclaw wiki obsidian search, openclaw wiki obsidian open, openclaw wiki obsidian command, and openclaw wiki obsidian daily. Prefer these over raw shell commands once the CLI status check confirms availability.

Can I rename notes in an Obsidian wiki vault safely?

Avoid destructive renames unless you also have a link-repair plan, since renaming breaks [[Wikilinks]] pointing to the old filename. Prefer stable filenames from the start so dashboards and Dataview queries keep working.

What frontmatter works with Obsidian Dataview queries?

Use frontmatter fields that are consistent and deterministic across generated notes so Dataview-style queries and Obsidian dashboards can aggregate them reliably. Keep generated sections deterministic so users can safely add handwritten notes around them.
