What problem does it solve?

wiki-capture preserves valuable knowledge from a conversation by converting it into permanent, structured Obsidian wiki notes instead of leaving it trapped in chat history.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conversation-to-knowledge conversion: Extracts the substance (not a transcript) and rewrites it as declarative information suitable for future reference.
  • Content classification & routing: Categorizes the content into synthesis, concepts, references, decision rationale, or session journal entries and selects the correct vault folder.
  • Vault-aware formatting: Resolves vault configuration (vault path and link format) and writes notes with consistent internal linking.
  • Deduplication and context awareness: Reads existing index and recent-activity context to avoid duplicating knowledge and to align with current wiki structure.

Quick Start

Use wiki-capture when you want the assistant to save what you just discussed into your Obsidian wiki as a structured, permanent note.

How do I save a conversation as a permanent knowledge note in Obsidian?

To save a conversation as a permanent knowledge note in Obsidian, this Skill extracts the core substance, rewrites it declaratively, and generates a structured markdown note with frontmatter and internal wikilinks. It categorizes the content and routes it to the correct vault folder.

What is the best way to convert chat history into declarative wiki notes?

Converting chat history into declarative wiki notes requires extracting the substantive information rather than saving a transcript. This process rewrites the discussion into factual statements suitable for future reference and retrieves existing context to avoid duplicating knowledge.

How does content classification work when capturing wiki notes?

Content classification for wiki capture works by sorting the extracted conversation into categories like synthesis, concepts, references, decision rationale, or session journal entries. This determines the correct Obsidian vault folder for the generated markdown note.

Can I use this to save technical procedures and decision rationale from a chat?

Yes, you can capture technical procedures and decision rationale from a chat. The Skill is designed for scenarios where you need to preserve decisions, frameworks, external-source summaries, and multi-topic discussions for later retrieval in your vault.

Does wiki capture prevent duplicate notes in my Obsidian vault?

Yes, wiki capture prevents duplicate notes by reading existing index and recent-activity context before writing. This deduplication process aligns the new note with the current wiki structure to ensure no overlapping knowledge is saved.

Do I need to configure link formats and vault paths before capturing notes?

Yes, you need to resolve configuration for the vault path and link format before capturing notes. This vault-aware formatting ensures the Skill writes markdown notes with consistent internal linking and correct placement.
