FAQPage Schema
How do I search my Obsidian wiki and get cited answers?

You can search your Obsidian wiki by asking a question about a specific topic. The skill queries the compiled vault and returns relevant pages with citations, using frontmatter and index.md to provide precise answers and map relationships across your notes.

How does Obsidian knowledge retrieval work for cross-topic discovery?

Obsidian knowledge retrieval works through an index-first pipeline that reads frontmatter and summaries to find relevant pages. It maps relationships via cross-links and references, enabling synthesized answers that connect information across multiple topics and projects within your wiki.

Can I use this to find information across different projects in my Obsidian vault?

Yes, you can find information across different projects in your Obsidian vault. The skill supports cross-topic discovery and citation-backed synthesis, allowing you to ask questions and retrieve relevant pages that span multiple projects stored within your compiled wiki.

What is the best way to answer questions using my Obsidian notes?

The best way to answer questions using your Obsidian notes is to use an index-first retrieval pipeline. This approach searches titles, aliases, and summaries, then uses controlled reads to keep responses precise and fast while providing citations directly from your wiki pages.

Do I need a specific Obsidian wiki structure to retrieve cited information?

You need an Obsidian wiki with frontmatter and an index.md file to properly retrieve cited information. The skill relies on this structured metadata to execute its index-first retrieval pipeline, ensuring that search results are precise, fast, and properly cited from your existing pages.

Why is my Obsidian wiki search returning slow or inaccurate results?

Your Obsidian wiki search may return slow or inaccurate results if the vault lacks structured frontmatter or an index.md file. The skill relies on these elements for controlled reads and precise retrieval; missing this organizational structure limits its ability to map relationships and cite pages accurately.
