SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Periodic rollups are often manual, fragmented across daily, weekly, and yearly notes. This skill automates the synthesis process to produce coherent parent notes and maintain traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

Periodic aggregation: combine child note summaries into a single parent description while preserving links.
Scope-aware rollups: handle daily → weekly → quarterly → yearly rollups and perform history rollups as needed.
Traceability & structure: maintain wikilinks and note hierarchy; update parent frontmatter descriptions accordingly.

Quick Start

Provide the target periodic note (e.g., 'Acme weekly review') and optional timespan to generate or update the parent note.

FAQPage Schema

How do I roll up daily and weekly Obsidian notes into a single summary?▼

Periodic rollups aggregate scattered Obsidian notes into a single parent description by synthesizing each child note's description. Provide the target periodic note and optional timespan to generate or update the parent note.

What is the best way to automate compiling project histories from periodic notes?▼

History rollups synthesize periodic notes into coherent narratives by parsing source frontmatter, preserving wikilinks, and maintaining hierarchy. This updates the parent note with the aggregated project history.

Does generating a periodic rollup preserve wikilinks and frontmatter structure?▼

Synthesizing periodic notes preserves wikilinks and maintains the original note hierarchy by parsing source frontmatter and updating the parent note's description while preserving the original structure.

Can I use this to create quarterly and yearly rollups from my weekly notes?▼

Scope-aware rollups handle daily, weekly, quarterly, and yearly aggregations, compiling weekly notes into parent quarterly or yearly notes while maintaining traceability and preserving links across the hierarchy.

Why are my manual periodic note summaries fragmented and losing traceability?▼

Manual rollups across daily, weekly, and yearly notes are often fragmented. Automating the synthesis process produces coherent parent notes, maintains traceability, and updates frontmatter descriptions to ensure links and hierarchy are preserved.
