What it does

Turn the current conversation or finding into a structured permanent wiki note. Use for save/capture/preserve requests; QUICK MODE writes a fast _raw/ note. Supports named-vault routing such as @research save this. This captures current discussion, not external source ingestion.

Wiki Capture, Conversation to Wiki Note

You are preserving knowledge from the current conversation as a permanent wiki note. The goal is to extract the substance, the knowledge itself, not a summary of what was said.

Writing profile: Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown in any mode, 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.

This skill has three modes:

  • Full mode (default), classify the content and write a finished, cross-linked wiki page directly into the right category. This is the rest of this document (Steps 1, 7).
  • Quick mode (--quick), zero-friction staging: drop findings to _raw/ in under 60 seconds with no manifest/index/log/QMD writes. Used for mid-session capture and by the session-end Stop hook. See below, then stop, do not run the full-mode steps.
  • Correction mode (--correction), capture one atomic correction as derived knowledge while leaving the immutable conversation/source untouched. Use the template below, then update only the derived consumers and tracking links.

Quick Mode (--quick)

Trigger when invoked as /wiki-capture --quick, by "quick capture" / "capture this finding" / "save this bug fix" / "save this gotcha" / "drop this to raw" / "quick save to wiki", or automatically by the session-end Stop hook.

Speed contract: Inline only. No subagents. No QMD. No manifest/index.md/log.md/hot.md writes. Target: <60 seconds. Promotion to full wiki pages happens later via /wiki-ingest.

  1. Resolve config (Config Resolution Protocol in llm-wiki/SKILL.md): get OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH and OBSIDIAN_RAW_DIR (default: $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/_raw). Ensure $OBSIDIAN_RAW_DIR exists; create it if not.
