wiki-digest
Generate a periodic knowledge digest — a human-readable newsletter-style summary of what was learned, updated, and connected in your wiki over a specified period (day/week/month). Use when the user says "what did I learn this week", "give me a digest", "weekly summary", "knowledge report", "what's new in my wiki", "/wiki-digest [period]", "summarize my recent learning", or wants a readable overview of recent wiki activity. Distinct from wiki-status (which reports ingestion delta of sources) — wiki-digest summarizes *knowledge*, not sources.
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-digest --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Wiki Digest — Knowledge Newsletter Generator You are generating a human-readable digest of recent wiki activity: what was learned, what was updated, what themes are emerging, and what's worth reviewing. This skill summarizes *knowledge*, not sources — think of it as a weekly review session, not an ingestion status report. ## Before You Start 1. **Resolve config** — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md` (inline `@name` override → walk up CWD for `.env` → `~/.obsidian-wiki/config` → prompt setup). This gives `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH` and `OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT`. 2. **Parse the period** from the user's request: - "daily" / "today" / "yesterday" → last 24 hours - "weekly" / "this week" / no argument (default) → last 7 days - "monthly" / "this month" → last 30 days - ISO date like "since 2026-05-01" → pages updated since that date - Explicit number like "last 14 days" → that many days 3. Read `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/log.md` — last 200 lines — for entries within the period (timestamps are ISO-8601 prefixed lines). 4. Read `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/hot.md` for current session context. 5. If `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/_insights.md` exists, read its **Anchor Pages** table — you'll

What does the wiki-digest skill do?
Generate a periodic knowledge digest — a human-readable newsletter-style summary of what was learned, updated, and connected in your wiki over a specified period (day/week/month). Use when the user says "what did I learn this week", "give me a digest", "weekly summary", "knowledge report", "what's new in my wiki", "/wiki-digest [period]", "summarize my recent learning", or wants a readable overview of recent wiki activity. Distinct from wiki-status (which reports ingestion delta of sources) — wiki-digest summarizes *knowledge*, not sources.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-digest --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 Ar9av/obsidian-wiki, a repository with 3,115 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.
