wiki-synthesize

The wiki-synthesize skill systematically discovers synthesis opportunities across an Obsidian vault by identifying concepts that frequently co-occur across multiple pages but lack a dedicated synthesis page connecting them. It addresses the problem of implicit knowledge connections remaining hidden in fragmented notes, making it difficult to see cross-cutting patterns and relationships between ideas that appear together but are never explicitly linked.

This skill builds a co-occurrence matrix by scanning the vault for wikilinks and tags, calculating which concept pairs appear together most frequently across different pages. It filters out already-synthesized pairs, scores candidates based on co-occurrence frequency, cross-domain relationships, and hub status, then generates new synthesis pages in the synthesis/ directory. Each synthesis page draws explicit conclusions about how the concepts interact, includes provenance tracking, and references all source pages where the concepts co-occur.

Ideal for knowledge workers, researchers, and PKM practitioners who maintain large Obsidian vaults and want to surface hidden connections automatically. Use it after significant vault growth, when exploring a specific domain for patterns, or periodically to maintain a living map of conceptual relationships. The skill integrates with the broader llm-wiki system, respecting vault configuration, taxonomy, and link formats while maintaining provenance and confidence scores for all generated insights.
