SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning wiki knowledge into visual or structured views (concept maps, dynamic tables, kanban boards) normally requires manual formatting and knowledge of Obsidian-specific file formats. This Skill automates the creation of these artifacts directly from existing wiki pages. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Canvas Maps: Create .canvas files showing relationships between concepts, entities, and pages using the json-canvas format. - Dynamic Views: Build Dataview/Bases queries (.base files or inline queries) for dashboards, tables, and status reports driven by frontmatter. - Kanban & Task Lists: Organize tasks into kanban boards (heading-based columns with checkbox tasks) or simple checklists gathered from operational areas and recent pages. - Use Case: Ask for a concept map of your project's entities, and the Skill reads the wiki taxonomy, picks the right artifact type, generates the file in the correct vault location, and appends an entry to the artifact log. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a canvas map visualizing the relationships between the main pages of your Obsidian wiki.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a canvas map from my Obsidian notes?

Ask for a schema, map, or visualization of relationships between pages. The Skill uses the json-canvas format to generate a .canvas file, saved in the build or artifact location defined by your vault taxonomy.

What is the difference between a canvas and a Bases file in Obsidian?

A canvas is a visual map of relationships between concepts and pages, meant to be looked at. A .base file is a dynamic query over frontmatter producing interactive tables and dashboards. Choose canvas to watch, base to interact.

How do I build a kanban board in Obsidian from existing tasks?

Kanban boards are created manually in markdown: columns are level-2 headings and tasks are checkboxes beneath them, compatible with the Kanban plugin. Tasks are collected from the operational area, task lists, and recent relevant pages.

Does this work with any Obsidian vault structure?

Yes, paths are never hardcoded. The Skill reads the vault's _meta/taxonomy.md file to resolve real locations, and a local vault instruction file can override defaults, so it adapts to different vault layouts.

Where are generated artifacts saved and tracked?

Each artifact type maps to a role in taxonomy.md, such as build, artifact, or operation. After creation, the Skill appends a dated log entry recording the file link and the wiki pages it was based on.
