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

  • Autonomous research loop: perform broad surveys, identify gaps, and synthesize insights.
  • Wiki filing: structure results as Obsidian-compatible notes for easy linking and retrieval.
  • Config-driven access: respect vault configuration and in-vault references to tailor sources and rules.
  • Use cases: initiate a comprehensive literature scan and automatically organize findings in the wiki for future reference.

Quick Start

Provide a topic to research, for example '/wiki-research climate change', to start an autonomous exploration and wiki filing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate web research and save the findings to my Obsidian wiki?

Autonomous topic research automates multi-round web searches to collect and synthesize findings on a subject. It performs broad surveys, identifies knowledge gaps, and organizes the results into structured notes with source citations.

How do I perform a deep dive research on a specific topic and generate linked notes?

Deep dive research is initiated by providing a topic for an autonomous exploration loop. The workflow performs broad surveys, identifies knowledge gaps, and files structured results into your wiki while maintaining linkages to existing pages and citing sources.

Does autonomous wiki research require vault access and network fetch capabilities?

Yes, performing autonomous wiki research requires Obsidian vault access and network fetch capabilities to gather web data. A configuration-aware workflow is also needed to properly cite sources and manage provenance within your vault.

Can I use this to scan literature and automatically organize it in my knowledge management system?

Yes, you can use this to perform a comprehensive literature scan and automatically organize findings in your wiki for future reference. It structures web-sourced knowledge as Obsidian-compatible notes to ensure easy linking and retrieval.

What is the best way to file web-sourced knowledge into an Obsidian wiki with source provenance?

The best way to file web-sourced knowledge is using a config-driven workflow that respects vault configuration and in-vault references. This ensures structured notes maintain proper linkages and cite sources for accurate provenance management.
