SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

wiki-lint detects and fixes structural issues in an Obsidian wiki—like broken links, orphaned pages, missing required frontmatter, stale content, and provenance problems—that degrade retrieval quality and knowledge trust over time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Wiki health audit: Finds orphaned pages, broken wikilinks, index inconsistencies, fragmented tag clusters, and stale content based on timestamps.
  • Schema and taxonomy validation: Checks for required frontmatter fields (including confidence/lifecycle schema), category-to-folder and tag-to-folder mismatches, and visibility tag correctness.
  • Provenance and lifecycle integrity: Flags contradiction risks, provenance drift, supersession integrity issues, and confidence/base_confidence drift against the framework conventions.

Quick Start

Use the wiki-lint skill to run a full health check of your vault and produce a structured Wiki Health Report with prioritized findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find broken links and orphaned pages in my Obsidian vault?

To detect broken wikilinks and orphaned pages in an Obsidian vault, run a wiki health audit to scan for index inconsistencies and isolated pages. This process identifies structural issues and generates a prioritized report for safe remediation.

How do I validate frontmatter schema compliance in a knowledge base?

Validating frontmatter schema compliance involves checking markdown files for required fields, confidence/lifecycle metadata, and category-to-folder mismatches. The audit flags missing summaries and incorrect visibility tags to ensure taxonomy consistency across the knowledge base.

What is provenance drift in a wiki and how do I check for it?

Provenance drift in a wiki occurs when source attribution and lifecycle metadata become inconsistent over time. You can check for it by auditing confidence and base_confidence values, detecting supersession integrity issues, and flagging contradiction risks against framework conventions.

Can I automatically detect stale content based on timestamps in Obsidian?

Yes, you can detect stale content in Obsidian by running a wiki maintenance audit that evaluates page timestamps. This identifies outdated notes and fragmented tag clusters, producing a structured Wiki Health Report to prioritize necessary updates.

Does this link auditing process require any specific dependencies or plugins?

No specific dependencies or plugins are required. The link auditing process resolves the vault configuration via the framework protocol, reads AGENTS.md and index.md directly, and analyzes the markdown files to report findings without needing external components.
