SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematically surface synthesis opportunities by identifying pairs or clusters of concepts that co-occur across pages but lack a synthesis page, enabling proactive cross-cutting insights.

Core Features & Use Cases

Discover high-value concept co-occurrences across an Obsidian wiki.
Propose and draft synthesis pages that reveal cross-cutting conclusions and unresolved tensions.
Automatically link synthesized pages back to source concepts and update wiki navigation artifacts.

Quick Start

Instruct the AI to scan the wiki for co-occurring concepts without a synthesis page and generate cross-cutting synthesis pages.

FAQPage Schema

How do I find concept co-occurrences in an Obsidian wiki that lack a synthesis page?▼

To find concept co-occurrences in an Obsidian wiki, the skill scans pages for frequent cross-cutting concept pairs and surfaces those lacking a dedicated synthesis page. It assesses these candidates by cross-domain signals to select top opportunities for page creation.

How do I automatically generate cross-cutting synthesis pages in Obsidian?▼

You can generate cross-cutting synthesis pages in Obsidian by instructing the AI to scan the wiki for co-occurring concepts. It drafts new pages under a synthesis directory, backlinks source concepts, and updates wiki navigation artifacts like the index and log.

What is wiki synthesis and how does cross-cutting link analysis work?▼

Wiki synthesis is the process of identifying frequent co-occurrences of concepts across pages to reveal cross-cutting conclusions. Link analysis assesses candidate concept pairs by existing synthesis coverage and cross-domain signals to propose new synthesis pages.

Does this wiki synthesis tool require any specific Obsidian plugins or dependencies?▼

No specific plugins or dependencies are required to use this wiki synthesis tool. It operates directly on your Obsidian markdown files to identify concept clusters and generate synthesis pages following a prescribed template.

What is the best way to manage knowledge gaps and unresolved tensions in an Obsidian vault?▼

The best way to manage knowledge gaps in an Obsidian vault is to systematically surface synthesis opportunities. This skill identifies concept clusters lacking dedicated pages and proposes drafts that reveal cross-cutting conclusions and unresolved tensions.

When should I avoid automating synthesis page creation for my knowledge management workflow?▼

You should avoid automating synthesis page creation if your Obsidian vault lacks sufficient cross-domain concept co-occurrences or if existing synthesis coverage is already comprehensive, as the tool relies on finding frequent concept pairs without dedicated pages.
