SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating a well-structured, git-backed LLM Wiki vault with consistent naming, templates, and Obsidian-friendly conventions is repetitive and error-prone when done manually; this Skill automates the entire setup so users can start ingesting and querying knowledge immediately.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive or direct creation: run an interview to pick purpose, domain, and name or provide arguments for non-interactive creation.
  • Standardized vault structure and templates: generates raw/, wiki/ (index, concepts, entities, sources, comparisons), log.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md, and .gitignore with frontmatter and naming conventions.
  • Git initialization and optional Obsidian registration: initializes a git repo and can register the vault in Obsidian so it appears in the vault switcher.
  • Use case: Quickly scaffold llm-wiki-my-research for a month-long research project, then ingest articles into the ready-made wiki structure.

Quick Start

Run /vault-create my-research --domain ai-research to create a new vault named llm-wiki-my-research with templates, a git repo, and Obsidian-ready structure.
