wiki-digest

Wiki Digest generates a periodic, newsletter-style summary of recent activity in an Obsidian knowledge vault: what was learned, what was updated, which themes are emerging, and what is worth revisiting. It solves the problem of losing track of accumulated knowledge by producing a human-readable weekly-review-style report focused on knowledge rather than raw ingestion status, distinguishing itself from a companion wiki-status skill that reports source deltas.

The workflow is fully read-and-summarize. It resolves vault configuration (via a config-resolution protocol that can walk up from the working directory to a .env or a per-user config file), parses the requested period (day, week, month, an ISO date, or an explicit number of days), then globs the vault's markdown files while skipping system files and archives. It classifies pages as new, updated, or unchanged from frontmatter dates, tallies theme frequency from tags, flags new vocabulary missing from the taxonomy, finds notable cross-category wikilink connections and ranks them by interestingness, surfaces open threads such as drafts and ambiguous claims, and recommends foundational pages worth re-reading. The output is a structured, scannable markdown report with headlines, new-knowledge tables, emerging themes, and key connections.

It targets Obsidian users — researchers, students, and knowledge workers — who maintain an LLM-assisted wiki and want a regular readable overview of their recent learning. It is a documentation-and-reporting helper that only reads local vault files and writes a summary; it does not modify vault content or reach external services.
