wiki-synthesize

To find missing connections in an Obsidian wiki, this Skill scans vault pages for wikilinks and frontmatter metadata to identify frequently co-occurring concept pairs that lack a dedicated synthesis page. It then ranks these candidates using cross-domain signals to highlight gaps.

Wiki co-occurrence synthesis is the process of mapping concepts that frequently appear together across wiki pages and drafting new pages to connect them. It works by scanning an Obsidian vault, filtering out already-synthesized pairs, and ranking unsynthesized candidates using cross-domain heuristics.

To generate synthesis pages for cross-domain topics, run this Skill after a large wiki ingest or during vault growth. It scores top concept pair candidates, drafts structured synthesis pages with summaries and provenance metadata, and writes them with back-links to their source pages.

Yes, wiki-synthesize works by scanning existing frontmatter metadata and wikilinks across your vault. It specifically filters out concept pairs already covered by pages in your existing synthesis directory to ensure only new cross-cutting connections are identified.

You should run cross-linking and concept mapping after your vault has grown significantly, such as following large ingests. Running it during ongoing wiki growth helps discover newly emerged cross-cutting connections and identifies high-scoring skipped candidates for later synthesis.

The best way to avoid duplicating synthesis pages is to use a tool that automatically filters out concept pairs already covered in your synthesis directory. This Skill ranks unsynthesized co-occurring candidates and reports high-scoring skipped pairs for later runs.
