# Obsidian Query Agent

**Status:** Active
**Author:** Richard Fremmerlid
**Domain:** Obsidian Wiki Engine

## Purpose

Progressive-disclosure query interface for the Obsidian LLM wiki. Returns the
**cheapest useful answer first**: a 1-5 sentence RLM summary. The caller can
then request bullets, then the full wiki node — expanding context only as needed.

## Progressive Disclosure Levels

| Level | Content | Cost |
|:------|:--------|:-----|
| `summary` | 1-5 sentence distilled answer | ~50 tokens |
| `bullets` | 6-10 key idea bullets | ~150 tokens |
| `full` | Complete wiki node + wikilinks | ~800 tokens |
| `raw` | Original source file content | variable |

## Usage

### Quick summary (default)
```bash
python ./scripts/query_wiki.py --wiki-root /path/to/wiki-root "authentication flow"
```

### Bullet-level detail
```bash
python ./scripts/query_wiki.py --wiki-root /path/to/wiki-root "authentication flow" --level bullets
```

### Full wiki node
```bash
python ./scripts/query_wiki.py --wiki-root /path/to/wiki-root "authentication flow" --level full
```

### List all indexed concepts
```bash
python ./scripts/query_wiki.py --wiki-root /path/to/wiki-root --list
```

### JSON output (for programmatic use)
```bash
python ./scripts/query_wiki.py --wiki-root /path/to/wiki-root "api design" --json
```

## Search Strategy

1. Exact concept name match in `wiki/_index.md`
2. Fuzzy label match across all concept nodes
3. Full-text keyword scan of `wiki/*.md` summaries
4. Falls back to `rlm/` summary layer if wiki node is missing

## When to Use

- Any time you need fast context about a concept in the wiki
- Before reading a full raw source file (use summary first)
- When `/wiki-ingest` has been run and nodes are populated
- As a pre-flight check before expensive agent operations
