SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents your Obsidian wiki from devolving into an inconsistent structure by letting the vault follow a named methodology (LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, or Generic) when new pages are created.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode configuration via .vault-meta/mode.json: Persistently declares the active methodology and defaults to generic when the file is absent.
  • Mode-aware routing across companion skills: Ensures wiki-ingest, save, and autoresearch file new content into the correct folders/root per the selected mode.
  • Template-aligned scaffolding: Uses mode-specific templates as starting structure for new pages (while allowing the skill’s own logic to win).
  • Built-in mode switching workflow: Provides an interactive setup script to set the mode and optionally seed the recommended folder structure.

Quick Start

Run the mode setup script to choose LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, or Generic and write .vault-meta/mode.json for the vault.

Frequently Asked Questions about wiki-mode

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I route new Obsidian notes into my PARA or Zettelkasten folder structure?

Note routing applies a methodology-specific routing table to file new wiki content into correct folders. You set the active methodology in `.vault-meta/mode.json` to enable automatic routing.

What is the best way to keep my second brain vault consistent when using LYT or PARA?

Using a mode configuration file prevents your vault from devolving into an inconsistent structure by forcing new pages to follow a named methodology. A persistent mode declaration ensures all companion skills route content correctly.

How do I configure my Obsidian vault to use a specific note organization methodology?

You run the built-in interactive setup script to choose LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, or Generic. The script writes `.vault-meta/mode.json` and optionally seeds the recommended folder structure for your vault.

Does wiki-mode work with Obsidian and Claude Code compound vaults?

Yes, the routing logic is designed for Obsidian and Claude Code compound vaults. It applies to source ingest, entity creation, session note saving, and autoresearch outputs when `.vault-meta/mode.json` defines an active mode.

What happens to note routing if the mode configuration file is missing?

When the mode configuration file is missing, the routing logic defaults to generic mode. This ensures new notes still save to a valid location even without a declared methodology.
