What problem does it solve?
When you create or update a wiki note in your Obsidian vault, you have to manually add a link to the relevant topic index (Map of Content) notes to keep your navigation structure up to date. Forgetting to do this leaves notes orphaned and hard to find, and manually updating multiple indexes is tedious and error-prone.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automatic index matching: Detects relevant indexes from your wiki note's tags and cross-links to other wiki notes, so you don't have to manually figure out which indexes to update.
- Auto-creation of missing indexes: If no index exists for a tag on your wiki note, it creates a properly formatted new index file automatically.
- Idempotent and safe: Won't add duplicate links to existing indexes, and prompts you for input if there's no clear matching index so no notes are left stranded.
- Use Case: After writing a new wiki note about "Singapore Foreign Policy" tagged with
singapore and foreign-policy, this skill will automatically add the note's link to both the Singapore Index.md and Foreign Policy Index.md, creating those files if they don't already exist.
Quick Start
Use the update-index skill to sync the new wiki note "Wiki -- Singapore Foreign Policy.md" to all relevant topic index files in your Obsidian vault.
