Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
This skill collection runs on Obsidian vaults using the LLM Wiki pattern. It ingests raw source documents into structured, interlinked wiki pages with entities and concepts, then lets you search and synthesize across the vault. A lint pass checks for broken wikilinks, orphan pages, contradictions between sources, stale claims, and missing cross-references. It is built for Obsidian power users, researchers, and anyone maintaining a personal knowledge base who wants the wiki to stay coherent without manual upkeep.
WHO IT'S FOR
Obsidian power users
set up and maintain an LLM-powered wiki
AI-assisted note-takers
automate ingestion of clipped articles into a wiki
Personal knowledge base maintainers
health-check and fix wiki issues regularly
Researchers and students
query and synthesize knowledge from a personal wiki
Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.
Desired vault name, or acceptance of the default second-brain
Desired parent location, or acceptance of the default ~/Documents/
Knowledge-base topic or domain
Any additional AI agents needing configuration
Which optional CLI tools to install, if any
Obsidian installed
Use the second-brain skill to guide me through creating a new Obsidian knowledge-base vault. Ask one question at a time about the vault name, location, topic, agent configuration, and optional tools, using the documented defaults when I accept them. After collecting my answers, initialize the vault and summarize what was created.
The actual source filename to substitute for <source-file>
Use the second-brain-ingest skill on `raw/<source-file>` in my initialized vault, replacing `<source-file>` with the actual source filename. Read that source completely, share its 3–5 most important takeaways, ask what I want emphasized or skipped, and wait for my confirmation before writing any wiki pages.
An initialized vault containing ingested wiki pages
The factual question to substitute for <question>
Use the second-brain-query skill to answer this factual question from my wiki: `<question>`. Replace `<question>` with my actual question. Start with `wiki/index.md`, read only the relevant linked pages, and give me a direct answer whose factual claims cite the supporting wiki pages with `[[wikilinks]]`. Do not save a synthesis page unless I later approve it.
