SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autonomously research a topic via multi-round web search, synthesize findings, and file structured results into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user says "/wiki-research [topic]", "research X", "find everything about Y", "do a deep dive on Z", "autonomous research on X", or wants comprehensive, web-sourced knowledge on a topic filed directly into their wiki.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 3- to 5-round research workflow (broad survey, gap filling, synthesis) with wiki filing
  • Round-based web search using WebSearch and WebFetch (or defuddle when available) to extract content
  • Optional vault configuration: apply rules from references/research-config.md to tailor sources and confidence
  • Filing results into the Obsidian wiki with structured outputs and cross-links

Quick Start

Provide a topic to research and let the agent perform multi-round web searches, then file structured results into the Obsidian wiki.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate web research and save the results to an Obsidian wiki?▼

You can automate web research by triggering a multi-round search workflow that synthesizes findings and files structured notes directly into your Obsidian wiki. This process uses broad survey, gap filling, and synthesis rounds to produce wiki-ready content.

What is a multi-round research workflow for knowledge management?▼

A multi-round research workflow is an automated process that conducts sequential web searches to build comprehensive knowledge. It starts with a broad survey, fills information gaps, and synthesizes findings into structured notes for your wiki.

How do I do a deep dive on a topic and file the results automatically?▼

To do a deep dive, prompt the agent with your topic to initiate autonomous multi-round web research. The system automatically extracts content, synthesizes findings, and files the structured results with references into your wiki.

Can I configure the web search sources for my automated research workflow?▼

Yes, you can configure the web search sources by applying rules from a configuration file. This allows you to tailor specific sources and confidence levels for the multi-round research synthesis.

Does autonomous wiki research work without manual web searching?▼

Yes, autonomous wiki research works without manual searching by using WebSearch and WebFetch to extract content across multiple rounds. It independently surveys, fills gaps, and synthesizes structured notes for your Obsidian vault.
