Wiki Rebuild, Archive, Rebuild, Restore

You are performing a destructive operation on the wiki. Always archive first, always confirm with the user before proceeding.

Before You Start

1. Resolve config, follow the Config Resolution Protocol in llm-wiki/SKILL.md (inline @name override → walk up CWD for .env → global config → prompt setup). This gives OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH and optional QMD settings such as QMD_WIKI_COLLECTION
2. Read .manifest.json to understand current state
3. Confirm the user's intent. This skill supports three modes:
   • Archive only, snapshot current wiki, no rebuild
   • Archive + Rebuild, snapshot, then reprocess all sources from scratch
   • Restore, bring back a previous archive

The Archive System

Archives live at $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/_archives/. Each archive is a timestamped directory containing a full copy of the wiki state at that point.
