What problem does it solve? Manually researching a topic across the web and organizing findings into a personal knowledge base is slow and inconsistent. This Skill automates multi-round web research and files synthesized, cross-linked results directly into an Obsidian vault. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Round Autonomous Research: Runs up to three rounds of web searches — broad survey, gap fill, and contradiction resolution — extracting claims, concepts, entities, and disagreements from sources. - Structured Wiki Filing: Writes source, concept, entity, and synthesis pages with provenance and confidence frontmatter, then cross-links everything and updates index.md, log.md, hot.md, and .manifest.json. - Pluggable Retrieval Backends: Optionally loads CLI backends (yt-dlp transcripts, defuddle, Perplexity) from a vault registry with free-first ordering and graceful fallback to WebSearch/WebFetch. - Use Case: Ask for a deep dive on "vector databases" and receive a master synthesis page plus linked source, concept, and entity pages filed permanently in your Obsidian wiki. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /wiki-research on a topic such as "do a deep dive on vector databases and file the results into my wiki".
