Description
Build and maintain a personal knowledge Wiki using the LLM Wiki pattern with OpenClaw-optimized step-by-step execution. Use sub-agents for parallel processin...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent with its goal of building a local Obsidian-style wiki, but before installing/running it you should: (1) review and approve any automatic package-install behavior — prefer to install pypdf/python-docx yourself or run in an environment where network installs are allowed; (2) run an initial ingest in a sandbox or with test files to observe behavior; (3) be aware it will create and modify ~/Obsidian Wiki/ (ensure that path is acceptable and contains only data you want processed); (4) avoid placing sensitive files into the raw/ folder unless you trust the skill; and (5) if you plan to schedule it (cron), ensure the runtime environment has the permissions and security posture you expect. If you need higher assurance, request an explicit list of commands the skill will run to perform installations and file operations.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: obsidian-wiki-auto
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle contains instructions for high-risk system modifications and unattended execution. Specifically, SKILL.md directs the agent to auto-install Python packages (pypdf, python-docx) and system dependencies via brew or apt-get, which may require elevated privileges. It also instructs the user to set up a cron job for an 'Auto-Maintenance Mode' that performs file organization and system checks without user confirmation, creating a persistence mechanism and increasing the risk of unauthorized system changes.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (Obsidian Wiki builder) align with the actions described in SKILL.md and agent files: creating a vault in ~/Obsidian Wiki, reading/organizing raw files, extracting entities/concepts, and writing Obsidian-formatted pages. Required capabilities (file reads, writes, content extraction, PDF/DOCX parsing) are coherent with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions direct the agent and sub-agents to scan, read, chunk-read, categorize, rename, move, and write files under ~/Obsidian Wiki/. They also recommend using shell/stat (e.g., `ls -la`) and insist on reading files to EOF. This behavior is expected for a local wiki builder, but it does grant broad filesystem read/write scope within the user's home directory and will process arbitrary files the user places into the raw/ folder.
Install Mechanism
The skill is instruction-only (no install spec). SKILL.md states it will 'automatically checks and installs Python and required packages (pypdf, python-docx) if not present.' That is coherent for PDF/DOCX parsing, but because there is no formal install spec, the agent's runtime instructions would need to run system package installs (pip, or system package manager). This implies network activity (PyPI) and running install commands at runtime — a moderate operational risk that is proportionate to the feature but worth user confirmation.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The SKILL.md does not request secrets or unrelated credentials. The lack of credential requests is appropriate for a local-file-focused tool.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and disable-model-invocation:false (defaults) — the skill can be invoked by the user and can run autonomously if scheduled (the doc suggests using cron). It spawns sub-agents for parallel work (expected for the design). Because it may be scheduled to run periodically and performs filesystem writes in the user's home directory, users should be deliberate about enabling recurring/autonomous runs and about what files are placed into the raw/ folder.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install obsidian-wiki-auto - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/obsidian-wiki-auto - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.1
obsidian-wiki-auto v1.0.1
- Added clear instructions for initial setup and usage, including guidance on cron scheduling and vault access.
- Emphasized autonomous, OpenClaw-native workflow with automatic vault creation and environment setup.
- Clarified file ingestion process: users should send files to ~/Obsidian Wiki/raw/ for processing.
- Noted automatic Python environment and library management for PDF/Word support.
- Streamlined documentation to focus on practical usage and integration with OpenClaw workflows; technical operation details remain unchanged.
v1.0.0
obsidian-wiki 1.0.0
- Major rework to follow the OpenClaw multi-agent/TaskList LLM Wiki pattern.
- Replaces Bash/python scripts with dedicated sub-agent markdown files for core operations.
- Removes legacy templates and standalone scripts; now uses step-by-step, parallel execution.
- Adds agents for file reading, entity/concept extraction, categorization, and wiki updating.
- Designed for chunked file reading and handling partial file access in OpenClaw environments.
