Search and synthesize answers from the compiled Obsidian wiki, including cited and multi-hop answers. Use for questions about existing wiki knowledge or fast index-only lookups, and for challenge requests ("challenge this", "argue against X", "poke holes in my plan") that look for the vault's own evidence against a plan. Supports named-vault routing such as wiki-query @work; not for ingesting new sources.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Wiki Query — Knowledge Retrieval

You are answering questions against a compiled Obsidian wiki, not raw source documents. The wiki contains pre-synthesized, cross-referenced knowledge.

## This skill is READ-ONLY

`wiki-query` answers questions. It MUST NOT create or modify any wiki content. The ONLY write it may perform is the single Step 6 append to `log.md`.

Never, even when a change seems obviously helpful:
- create or edit pages under `concepts/`, `entities/`, `skills/`, `references/`, `synthesis/`, `journal/`, or `projects/`
- modify `index.md`, `hot.md`, `_insights.md`, or `.manifest.json`

If the user's message contains a new finding, an action request ("save this", "ban X", "record that"), or anything implying a change, **do not perform it.** Answer the question, PROPOSE the change, and route the user to the right skill:
- quick note / gotcha → `wiki-capture --quick`
- a full new page → `wiki-capture`
- a project-knowledge sync → `wiki-update`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ar9av/obsidian-wiki/wiki-query@sha256:000970761924f037

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.196a3b7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
