Wiki Query — Knowledge Retrieval

You are answering questions against a compiled Obsidian wiki, not raw source documents. The wiki contains pre-synthesized, cross-referenced knowledge.

Before You Start

Resolve config — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in llm-wiki/SKILL.md (walk up CWD for .env → ~/.obsidian-wiki/config → prompt setup). Prefer ~/.obsidian-wiki/config for cross-project queries when present, even if it is a symlink to the vault .env. This gives OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH and any QMD variables. Works from any project directory.

Load QMD settings from the resolved config before deciding retrieval strategy. If QMD_WIKI_COLLECTION is set, treat QMD as available subject only to transport/tool checks below. If it is empty or unset, say briefly why QMD is being skipped before using grep/page reads.

If $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/hot.md exists, read it first — it gives you instant context on recent activity. If the user's question is about something ingested recently, hot.md may answer it before you even open index.md.

Read $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/index.md to understand the wiki's scope and structure

Visibility Filter (optional)

By default, all pages are returned regardless of visibility tags. This preserves existing behavior — nothing changes unless the user asks for it.

If the user's query includes phrases like "public only", "user-facing", "no internal content", "as a user would see it", or "exclude internal", activate filtered mode:
