Turn a wiki topic into a cited Markdown briefing, plain-language explanation, or
progressive lecture. Use this skill for topic-based briefing, explanation, and
lecture requests that must stay within the evidence compiled in an Obsidian vault.
Wiki Narrate β Cited Narrative Readouts
Use this skill only for a topic-based Markdown readout. Do not add tag or page-list
selection, prior-query input, voice aliases, HTML, PDF, slides, renderer handoffs, or
new compiled knowledge pages.
Voice names are canonical and case-sensitive. Unsupported values must return an
error listing briefing, , and without searching or
writing.
plain-language
lecturer
--save is the only persistence switch.
For a missing topic, malformed option, or unsupported voice, return a short usage
or validation error and do not search, write, append a log event, or change hot.md.
Retrieval
Writing profile: Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the Writing Profile Resolution section in llm-wiki/SKILL.md. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence.
WRITING.md preferences apply only to newly drafted or rewritten natural-language Markdown; preserve source content and structured records.
Resolve configuration with the Config Resolution Protocol, including an inline
@name vault override, then read the target vault's AGENTS.md when it exists.
Load OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT before drafting citations.
Read hot.md and index.md first. Select candidates by frontmatter and summary
before reading bodies.
When configured, use QMD before rg; if QMD is absent, unconfigured, or fails,
continue with the index and rg path. Treat QMD output as candidate guidance, not
evidence: establish each claim from the allowed vault page itself.
Honor filtered-mode phrases such as "public only", "user-facing", "no internal
content", "as a user would see it", and "exclude internal". Skip pages tagged
visibility/internal or visibility/pii in that mode: never read, cite, or expose
them.
Exclude _readouts/, _raw/, _archives/, _meta/, index.md, log.md,
hot.md, and _insights.md from candidates.
Read matching sections before full pages, and read full pages only when a factual
claim cannot otherwise be established. Preserve relevant lifecycle and freshness
annotations; do not upgrade a page's trust.
Claim Ledger and Citation Audit
Draft a ledger before prose. Each item contains a claim, supporting [[vault page]]
links, and one status: supported fact, inferred connection, or ambiguous conflict.
When OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT=markdown, render the same supporting page as a standard
Markdown link; otherwise use the vault's [[wikilink]] form.
Ensure every factual sentence has adjacent supporting citations. Mark inferred connections ^[inferred]; mark unresolved conflicts ^[ambiguous]. Never use web knowledge, model memory, or invented examples to close a gap. Omit unsupported claims and name the gap in Coverage. An inference or ambiguity marker supplements, rather than replaces, adjacent citations.
Drafting and Output
Read references/voices.md and use exactly the requested voice skeleton. The selected
voice may change prose and ordering, but cannot change the ledger's factual boundary.
Return Markdown only, structured as:
A title naming the topic and selected voice.
The selected voice's sections, in its documented order.
Adjacent citations for each factual sentence, rendered with
OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT.
A ## Coverage footer listing cited pages, the count of inferred statements, and
known evidence gaps.
If evidence is weak or contradictory, produce only the supported portion. Mark each
unresolved conflict ^[ambiguous] with citations to all conflicting pages, and list
the remaining gaps in ## Coverage.
Persistence
Present the result by default. For --save, create _readouts/ if necessary and write
_readouts/<slug>.md with title, topic, voice, sources, created, and
updated frontmatter. Use a deterministic, filesystem-safe <slug> derived from the
topic. Save the same completed Markdown readout that was returned in conversation.
A readout is derived output: exclude _readouts/ from retrieval and must not update index.md or .manifest.json. Do not create _readouts/ or a readout file without a successful --save result.
Logging and Hot Cache
After a narration attempt that reaches retrieval, append one WIKI_NARRATE event to
log.md:
This is the only write a narration without --save may perform. Do not touch index.md or hot.md by hand.
Without --save, append the event with saved=false after returning the readout;
do not create a readout or change hot.md.
After a successful --save write, append the event with saved=true, then refresh
the hot cache with a one-line takeaway naming the topic, voice, cited-page count, and
saved readout path: obsidian-wiki memory hot --takeaways "<line>". hot.md changes
only after a successful save, and only through that command.
If the readout write fails after drafting, return the completed readout in
conversation, report that saving failed, append a WIKI_NARRATE event with
saved=false outcome=write_failed when log.md remains writable, and do not update
hot.md.
If appending log.md fails, preserve the readout result and report the logging
failure separately. Never represent a failed log or save as successful.
Safe Failure Behavior
No matching pages: explain that the vault lacks material for the topic. Create
no readout file even if --save was requested, do not change hot.md, and record a
WIKI_NARRATE event with outcome=no_match when log.md is writable.
Weak evidence or source conflict: do not resolve it with outside knowledge.
Return only supported claims, label ambiguity where applicable, and make the gap
explicit in ## Coverage; saving remains available for that successful partial
readout.
QMD unavailable or unconfigured: state the fallback briefly in the working
update and continue safely through index.md and rg; do not fail the narration
merely because QMD is unavailable.
Write failure: never leave a partial readout presented as saved, never update
hot.md, and never update index.md or .manifest.json.
