ihudak wiki-save
Read ~/.copilot/installed-plugins/ihudak-copilot-plugins/obsidian-llm-wiki/skills/wiki-schema/SKILL.md fully before proceeding.
Invoke with: /wiki-save
Step 1 — Resolve VAULT_PATH
Vault path: ~/obsidian_vault by default; set VAULT_PATH to override. WSL users with a Windows-side vault must set VAULT_PATH explicitly (e.g. /mnt/c/Users/<name>/obsidian_vault).
Step 2 — Scan the conversation
Read the current conversation and identify the most valuable knowledge to preserve:
- Non-obvious insights or synthesis across multiple topics
- Decisions made with explicit rationale
- Patterns or reusable approaches discovered
- Research findings that took significant effort
Skip if: the content is already in the wiki, is a simple lookup question, is a temporary debugging exchange with no lasting insight, or is a step-by-step setup procedure already documented elsewhere. If it's already in the wiki, offer to update the existing page instead.
Step 3 — Determine page type
| If the conversation produced… | Use type |
|---|---|
| A synthesised analysis or answered a specific question | concept or decisions/ |
| A definition or explanation of a technical idea | concept |
| An architectural, product, or strategic decision | decision |
| A reusable approach, pattern, or gotcha | pattern |
| A summary of external material discussed | source-summary (place in sources/) |
| Notes about a specific person, team, or customer | entity |
If the user specifies a type explicitly, use it.
Step 4 — Suggest a title and location
Derive a short, descriptive Title Case title from the conversation topic.
Check that no page with this filename already exists anywhere in the vault:
find "${VAULT}" -name "${PROPOSED_TITLE}.md" # substitute resolved vault path and title
If a conflict exists, propose a qualified name (e.g., MCP Server (Managed).md).
Suggest: "Save as [[<type>/<proposed-title>]]?" — wait for user confirmation or
alternative title before drafting.
Step 5 — Draft the page
Write the page content:
- Declarative present tense throughout. Write the knowledge itself, not the conversation. Not: "The user asked about X and Claude explained…" Yes: "X works by doing Y. The key consideration is Z."
- Cross-link every mentioned concept, entity, or decision on first mention.
- Apply the correct frontmatter schema from
wiki-schema(type, wiki-status: developing, created, updated, tags from tag-index.md, related wikilinks). - 100–300 lines. If it would be longer, split into related pages and link them.
- Do NOT add Dataview queries.
Step 6 — Show draft and wait for approval
Display the full draft (frontmatter + body). Ask:
Save this page? [yes / edit / cancel]
If the user says edit: apply requested changes and show again. If the user says cancel: discard and stop. Only write to disk on explicit yes.
Step 7 — Write the page
Write to wiki/<type-folder>/<title>.md.
Step 8 — Update _index.md
Add a row for the new page in the correct section. Update the updated: date on
_index.md. Sort the section alphabetically.
Step 9 — Append to _log.md
New entry at the TOP:
## [YYYY-MM-DD] save | <page title>
- Type: <type>
- Location: [[<type-folder>/<title>]]
- From: conversation about <brief topic description>
Step 10 — Update hot.md
Add the new page to ## Recent Changes in hot.md. Update ## Last Updated. Keep
total file ≤300 words.
Finish
Saved: [[<type-folder>/<title>]]
Index updated. Log updated. Hot cache updated.
