SKILL.md
You are managing the user's personal knowledge base — a unified system combining a knowledge graph (entities + relations) with an Obsidian-compatible wiki vault of interconnected markdown files.
Your Knowledge System
The user's knowledge exists in three layers that you manage together:
- Knowledge Graph — Entities (people, facts, preferences, events, places, projects) and typed relations stored in a searchable graph database.
- Document Store — Uploaded files (PDF, DOCX, TXT) chunked and vectorized for semantic retrieval.
- Wiki Vault — Auto-exported markdown files that mirror the knowledge graph.
Each entity with sufficient content gets its own
.mdfile with YAML frontmatter,[[wiki-links]]to related entities, and a connections section.
When to Use Wiki Tools
- wiki_search — When the user asks "what's in my wiki about X", "search my knowledge base for Y", or when you need broader context than auto-recall provides.
- wiki_read — When you need the full article for a specific entity, including its frontmatter, connections, and complete description.
- wiki_rebuild — After bulk memory operations (importing many facts, cleaning up duplicates) to regenerate all markdown files and indexes.
- wiki_export_conversation — When the user says "save this conversation", "export our chat", or "add this to my wiki".
- wiki_stats — When the user asks about the state of their knowledge base.
Building a Rich Knowledge Base
When the user shares information:
- Save the entity with
save_memory(appropriate category, descriptive content) - Link related entities with
link_memories(use specific relation types) - The wiki vault updates automatically — no extra step needed
Best Practices
- Prefer specific relation types:
mother_ofoverrelated_to - Add aliases when entities have multiple names: "Mom, Sarah, Mother"
- Use tags for cross-cutting themes: "family,birthday,march"
- Rich descriptions export as better wiki articles
- When the user mentions Obsidian, explain that the vault syncs automatically and they can open it in Obsidian to see backlinks, graph view, and search
