SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When a knowledge vault drifts, becomes inconsistent, or requires a fresh start, manual cleanup is risky and error-prone. This skill provides a safe, repeatable way to snapshot the current Obsidian wiki, clear live content, and rebuild or restore from a previous archive while minimizing accidental data loss.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Archive snapshots: Create timestamped backups of wiki pages, projects, manifest, and logs before any destructive change.
  • Archive + Rebuild workflow: Clear live wiki content while preserving archives and configuration, then guide users to re-ingest sources (document imports, Claude history, data pipelines) in a controlled order.
  • Restore from archive: List available archives, require confirmation, snapshot current state as a pre-restore archive, and restore wiki, projects, manifest, and logs.
  • Safety and auditability: Enforces explicit user confirmation, preserves the .obsidian directory, writes archive-meta and log entries, and warns about destructive operations.

Quick Start

Run the wiki-rebuild skill and choose Archive + Rebuild to snapshot the vault and prepare it for a full re-ingest.

Frequently Asked Questions about wiki-rebuild

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely clear my Obsidian vault for a fresh rebuild without losing data?▼

To restore an Obsidian vault from a previous archive, select the target archive, provide explicit confirmation, and the system will snapshot the current state and extract the archived wiki, projects, manifest, and logs back into the live directories.

How does archiving an Obsidian wiki vault before destructive changes work?▼

To restore an Obsidian vault from a previous archive, the system lists available archives, requires explicit confirmation, snapshots the current state as a pre-restore backup, and extracts the archived wiki, projects, manifest, and logs.

Can I restore a previous archive into my live Obsidian wiki after it drifts or becomes inconsistent?▼

Yes, you can restore a previous archive into your live Obsidian wiki by selecting from a list of available archives, providing explicit confirmation, and letting the system snapshot the current state before extracting the archived content.

What is the best way to re-ingest source documents into an Obsidian knowledge vault after clearing content?▼

To restore the vault from a previous archive, select the target snapshot, provide explicit confirmation for the destructive action, and the system will automatically restore the wiki, projects, manifest, and logs while preserving the .obsidian directory.

What happens to the .obsidian directory when I clear live wiki pages to rebuild my vault?▼

When you clear live wiki pages to rebuild your vault, the .obsidian directory is explicitly preserved alongside the archive directories, ensuring your local configuration and settings remain intact during the destructive content removal.

When should I not use an automated vault rebuild for my Obsidian knowledge management workflow?▼

You should not use an automated vault rebuild when you have unsynced local changes outside the wiki or project folders, as the destructive clear operation only preserves .obsidian and archive directories while permanently removing other live content.
