SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It audits a Spine Architecture Obsidian vault for missing documentation, stale notes, duplicate coverage, broken links, tag inconsistencies, and memory sync drift so the knowledge base stays reliable as the codebase changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Coverage Gap Detection: Compares recent git history against vault docs to find meaningful work that has not been documented.
  • Staleness and Duplication Checks: Flags docs that may be outdated and spots overlapping notes that should be consolidated.
  • Vault Integrity Validation: Verifies spine note links, missing children, ghost links, type tags, and Claude memory signposts.
  • Use Case: A developer finishes several auth and API changes, runs the skill, and gets a prioritized report showing which docs need updates, which notes are duplicated, and whether any vault links are broken.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to scan your Spine vault, optionally naming a specific feature or repo, and return a hygiene report with any gaps, stale docs, duplicate notes, broken links, tag issues, and memory sync problems.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit an Obsidian vault for undocumented git commits and stale documentation?

To audit an Obsidian vault, the skill analyzes recent git history against vault docs to find undocumented work, stale notes, and duplicate coverage, returning a prioritized hygiene report with next actions.

What is the best way to find broken wikilinks and tag mismatches in a Spine vault?

Finding broken wikilinks and tag mismatches requires vault integrity validation, which verifies spine note links, missing children, ghost links, type tags, and Claude memory signposts to keep the knowledge base reliable.

How do I check my Obsidian vault for duplicate notes and coverage gaps?

Checking vault coverage gaps and duplicate notes involves comparing git history against vault documentation to spot overlapping notes for consolidation and meaningful work that remains undocumented.

Does this vault audit work with feature folders and commit-linked docs?

Yes, the vault audit applies to repository knowledge bases structured with feature folders, spine notes, and commit-linked docs during standard maintenance and review workflows.

Why does my Obsidian vault have memory sync errors and ghost links after codebase changes?

Memory sync errors and ghost links occur when vault docs drift from codebase changes, detectable by inspecting frontmatter, validating wikilinks, and checking Claude memory signposts during a vault audit.
