Run a deterministic, read-only health check on an Obsidian wiki. Use for lint, vault health check, audit wiki health, find orphans, find dead links, frontmatter audit, provenance audit, or wiki audit.
The skill file stays in the publisher's repository.
Paste the copied command in a terminal. It installs this SKILL.md into that agent.

Run a deterministic, read-only health check on an Obsidian wiki. Use for lint, vault health check, audit wiki health, find orphans, find dead links, frontmatter audit, provenance audit, or wiki audit. Reports graph, link, frontmatter, provenance-ledger, empty-section, and stale-index findings; it does not reason broadly or repair files.
Run a deterministic, read-only health check on an Obsidian wiki.

Reports graph, link, frontmatter, provenance-ledger, empty-section, and stale-index findings; it does not reason broadly or repair files.
Use the portable lint engine as the source of truth. Lint observes vault state; it does not create reports, dashboards, canvases, stubs, or fixes.
Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, not from the vault or current working directory:
PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian
CORE="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/claude-obsidian.py"
test -f "$CORE"
Every ../wiki/references/ link in this file resolves the same way, relative
to this skill's own directory under $PRODUCT_ROOT, never relative to the
selected vault's wiki/ directory.
Resolve the user vault, then run one of:
python3 "$CORE" lint --vault "$VAULT"
python3 "$CORE" lint --vault "$VAULT" --format markdown
python3 "$CORE" lint --vault "$VAULT" --exclude "wiki/scratchpad/*"
The repeatable --exclude GLOB flag scopes a path (for example a scratchpad
folder) out of page, link-resolution, orphan, frontmatter, empty-section, and
stale-index scanning.
Use --strict only when a nonzero exit for findings is useful in automation.
The command remains read-only either way.
The deterministic parser understands Obsidian wikilinks and embeds, Markdown
links, aliases, heading and block fragments, escaped aliases, and code fences.
It skips dot-prefixed directories by default, mirroring Obsidian's own
indexer. Link resolution honors .gitignore files inside the vault (no git
subprocess): when a link is ambiguous between a page and a gitignored file
such as a build artifact, the gitignored candidate is dropped.
It reports such categories as dead or ambiguous links, orphan pages, required
frontmatter gaps (including title), empty sections, stale index entries, and
source/claim ledger contract violations. Report only the
checks and counts present in its output; do not claim that it performed
semantic, stylistic, or prose-level contradiction analysis when it did
not.
Do not write the Markdown rendering into the vault. Return it in chat or stdout.
Never auto-fix a lint result. After the user chooses specific findings to repair:
Follow the operation transaction contract. Lint itself never applies that transaction and never commits Git.
Observe the deterministic report, think about root causes rather than finding count, verify proposed repairs against current hashes, and grow by improving the workflow that produced repeated findings.
