Wiki Bootstrap

You are scaffolding an LLM Wiki on top of an Obsidian vault using the kobsidian MCP server. The vault becomes a compounding knowledge base: sources flow in, the wiki holds summaries, cross-references, and an index, and the LLM does the bookkeeping.

When to use

• The user asks to "set up a wiki", "initialize the knowledge base",

"start tracking X in a wiki", or "bootstrap this vault".

• The user is new to kObsidian and wants the recommended layout.
• wiki.lint reports the wiki is missing, or wiki.query returns nothing

because the wiki doesn't exist yet.

Steps

1. Confirm vault context. Call notes.list (or stats.vault if

available) with no directory to verify we're operating on the right vault and to get a sense of existing content.

1. Run `wiki.init`. With no arguments for defaults (wiki/ root,

standard folder / file names). If the user specified a custom root, pass wikiRoot: "<their-name>". The tool is idempotent — rerunning is safe.

1. Show the layout. Read wiki/wiki-schema.md back and summarize the

conventions to the user in 3-5 lines: the three page types, the log format, and that the wiki is owned by the LLM (they curate sources, you do the bookkeeping).

1. Offer the next step. Prompt the user to drop their first source

(clipped article, pasted notes, a URL they want to summarize) so you can ingest it with the wiki-ingest skill.

What not to do

• Do NOT overwrite existing index.md / log.md / wiki-schema.md content

without force: true + explicit user permission.

• Do NOT create scaffolding outside the wiki root; everything lives under

wiki/.

• Do NOT invent alternate layouts (flat folders, category prefixes, etc.).

If the user wants a different shape, use env vars or wikiRoot override.
