SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It answers the question "what did I learn this week" by turning raw wiki activity into a readable, newsletter-style digest of new pages, updates, emerging themes, and open threads, instead of forcing you to manually review every changed note. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Periodic Knowledge Summaries: Generate daily, weekly, or monthly digests of new and updated pages in an Obsidian vault, with headlines that synthesize actual insights rather than listing page titles. - Theme and Connection Analysis: Tally tag frequencies, detect new vocabulary missing from the taxonomy, and rank notable cross-category wikilinks that emerged during the period. - Open Threads and Re-reads: Surface drafts, ambiguous claims, unstaged notes in _raw/, and recommend foundational pages worth revisiting based on new incoming links. - Use Case: After a week of ingesting papers into your wiki, ask for a weekly digest to get a scannable report of what you learned, which themes are emerging, and which pages to revisit, optionally saved to journal/digest-YYYY-MM-DD.md. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to generate a weekly digest of your wiki, for example by saying "give me a digest of what I learned this week" or invoking /wiki-digest with a period like daily, weekly, or monthly.

Frequently Asked Questions about wiki-digest

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a weekly summary of my Obsidian wiki?

Ask for a weekly digest or run /wiki-digest with no argument, which defaults to the last 7 days. The skill scans page frontmatter for created and updated dates, then produces a structured markdown report with headlines, themes, connections, and re-read recommendations.

What is the difference between wiki-digest and wiki-status?

wiki-digest summarizes knowledge, meaning what was learned and connected, while wiki-status reports the ingestion delta of sources, meaning what is pending. Use wiki-digest for "what did I learn" and wiki-status for "what needs ingesting".

Can I generate a digest for a custom date range?

Yes, you can specify daily, weekly, monthly, an ISO date like "since 2026-05-01", or an explicit span like "last 14 days". The skill parses the period from your request and filters pages whose created or updated dates fall within it.

Does the digest include private pages tagged visibility/pii?

No, pages tagged visibility/pii are excluded from tables and connection lists by default, though they are counted in totals as private. Saying "include private pages" or "full digest" includes them normally.

What happens if fewer than 5 pages were active in the period?

The skill notes the low activity and offers to widen the period, for example suggesting a monthly digest instead of a weekly one. It only proceeds with the short digest if you confirm.

Does wiki-digest modify my existing wiki pages?

No, it only reads existing pages. The only writes are an optional journal digest file when you ask to save it, an index.md entry, and a log.md append recording the digest run.
