Wiki Search

wiki-search

Searches Wiki/ for articles relevant to a query and returns a synthesized answer drawn from the user's own knowledge base.

Arguments — parse $ARGUMENTS:

• --vault or --vault= — explicit vault. Pass . to mean "the vault at cwd" (resolved against the pre-loaded list).
• Everything else in $ARGUMENTS, after removing the flag and its value, is the query — the topic, term, or question to search for. If empty, infer from the conversation context.

Vault resolution (only when --vault is absent):

• Read the pre-loaded vault list:
• Exactly one vault → use it. Do not ask.
• Two or more → ask via AskUserQuestion.
• None → bail; Obsidian isn't running.

--vault . handling: resolve the current working directory against the pre-loaded vault list. If cwd matches a registered vault path, use that vault's name. Otherwise bail — cwd isn't a vault.

Pre-loaded Context

Registered Obsidian vaults (namepath per line):

!obsidian vaults verbose 2>/dev/null

Workflow

0. Select the target vault

Parse the pre-loaded vault list (namepath per line). Apply the Vault rule from the top of this file to pick one. Hold the chosen vault's ` and absolute ` — every subsequent step uses them.

If /Wiki/ or /Wiki/index.md is missing, print ℹ️ Vault not wiki-initialized. Run /wiki-init to bootstrap. and stop.

1. Match against the index

Read the chosen vault's index:

cat /Wiki/index.md

Scan it for entries whose title or hook phrase relate to the query. Cast a wide net — partial matches, synonyms, and related concepts all count.

2. Read matching articles

Read the full content of every matched article. If no index entry matches, fall back to:

obsidian vault= search query="" path="Wiki" limit=5

Then read the results.

3. Answer from the content

Synthesize a clear, direct answer using only what the Wiki contains. Rules:

• Cite sources — reference articles with wikilinks: [[Wiki/AI/agent-harness-engineering|Agent Harness Engineering]]
• Quote specifics — use concrete details, numbers, and examples from the articles, not vague paraphrases
• Flag gaps — if the Wiki only partially covers the query, say what's missing
• Don't invent — if nothing relevant exists, say so plainly: "I have nothing in the Wiki about this."

4. Suggest next steps (optional)

If relevant, suggest:

• A Raw clipping to compile that might fill the gap
• A related Wiki article the user might not have connected
• Creating a new article if the topic deserves one
