Frequently Asked Questions about second-brain

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a personal knowledge wiki from my Obsidian notes?

To create a personal knowledge wiki, you must export the SECOND_BRAIN_VAULT environment variable to your Obsidian vault path. The skill then initializes a brain2/wiki hierarchy, automatically organizing and cross-linking your notes for quick retrieval.

Can I ingest URLs and raw text into my Obsidian vault for note-taking?

Yes, you can ingest URLs, files, and pasted text into your Obsidian vault. The skill supports incremental growth and cross-linking, safely handling raw sources and converting them into a persistent, cross-linked knowledge wiki.

How does querying a knowledge wiki with citations work using an LLM?

Querying a knowledge wiki with citations works by using an LLM-driven workflow to answer questions directly from your stored notes. The skill operates within your configured Obsidian vault to retrieve relevant information and provides citations for each answer.

Does this approach support managing kanban tasks and brain dumps?

Yes, the skill explicitly supports capturing kanban tasks and brain dumps within your Obsidian vault. It organizes these captures into the brain2/wiki hierarchy, maintaining a living personal knowledge wiki that evolves with your inputs.

How do I perform a health audit on my Obsidian knowledge wiki?

You perform a health audit on your knowledge wiki by running the skill's built-in audit function. This evaluates the state of your Obsidian vault, checking the cross-linked notes and overall wiki structure to ensure your knowledge base remains organized and accessible.

What are the limitations of using an LLM-driven workflow for notetaking in Obsidian?

A limitation is that the skill owns vault content exclusively and operates entirely within the configured SECOND_BRAIN_VAULT path. Data access is scoped to your workspace, meaning it cannot retrieve or cross-link notes stored outside this specific Obsidian vault directory.
