From the SKILL.md

# Wiki orchestration Treat the installed product as code and the selected user vault as data. Never use the plugin/product root as a vault, even when the current directory happens to be the product checkout. Resolve the portable core from this skill's installation and invoke it by absolute path: ```bash CORE=/absolute/product/root/scripts/claude-obsidian.py python3 "$CORE" --help ``` Resolve a vault in this order: explicit `--vault`, `CLAUDE_OBSIDIAN_VAULT`, the nearest `.claude-obsidian.json`, then an unambiguous initialized vault at or above the current directory. Fail closed when selection is missing or ambiguous. Baseline setup requires no network egress. Do not fetch templates, plugins, or remote content unless the user separately approves the destinations and budget. ## Set up a vault Use the deterministic setup commands. Both are dry-run by default. For a new, separate vault: ```bash python3 "$CORE" init /absolute/path/to/vault \ --generated-at <ISO-UTC> --operation-id init-reviewed python3 "$CORE" init /absolute/path/to/vault \ --generated-at <ISO-UTC> --operation-id init-reviewed \ --approved-plan-sha256 <reviewed-sha256> --apply ``` For an existing Obsidian vault: ```bash

About this skill
What does the wiki skill do?

Initialize, adopt, and route work for a separate Obsidian knowledge vault through the portable claude-obsidian core. Use for vault setup, scaffolding, workspace selection, cross-project configuration, or choosing the correct wiki sub-skill. Triggers: /wiki, set up wiki, scaffold vault, create knowledge base, adopt this vault, Obsidian vault, second brain setup, persistent wiki.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian --skill wiki --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian, a repository with 10,371 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
