SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Answer questions against the compiled Obsidian wiki, not raw source documents. The wiki contains pre-synthesized, cross-referenced knowledge. It helps you answer questions, find information across your wiki, discover what you know about X, find everything related to Y, or synthesize answers with citations from wiki pages. It also supports exploring connections between topics within the wiki and a fast index-only mode for quick results that rely on page summaries and frontmatter without reading page bodies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Answers questions by querying the compiled Obsidian wiki with citations.
  • Explore relationships between topics by cross-referencing pages and their links.
  • Supports an index-only fast mode that returns answers from page summaries and frontmatter without reading the bodies.

Quick Start

Ask it to search your Obsidian wiki for what is known about a topic and present concise results with citations.

Does wiki-query work with raw Obsidian markdown files or compiled wikis?

This approach works with a compiled Obsidian wiki containing pre-synthesized, cross-referenced knowledge, not raw source documents, ensuring answers are drawn from structured summaries and frontmatter rather than unprocessed text.

How do I find everything related to a specific topic across my knowledge base?

To find everything related to a topic, query the compiled wiki to cross-reference pages and their links, using QMD matching if needed to resolve deeper connections and synthesize answers with citations.
