Agent Workflow
Intent Routing
Before any action, classify the user request into one of two modes. Default to Answer mode.
| Trigger Signal | Mode | Action | Output | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| User is asking / seeking explanation / requesting lookup on a topic ("what is…", "compare…", "help me find…") — and NOT requesting wiki building | Answer (default) | Follow Hybrid Retrieval Protocol to answer → optionally save-report as a report | wiki/queries/<name>.md (kind: query), does NOT create/modify topics | |
| User explicitly requests "build / import / ingest / update / maintain wiki", or "create topics from these notes", or points to a vault/directory to be ingested | Ingest/Maintain | Follow Standard / Batched Ingest or Bounded Enrichment | wiki/topics/<name>.md (kind: topic) |
Rules:
- Reports are the default output. A regular question never triggers topic generation — unless the user explicitly requests wiki building/maintenance, or explicitly says "make it a topic page".
- Topics are only produced in Ingest/Maintain mode: when ingesting source notes, batch ingesting, or maintaining/enriching existing topics.
- When uncertain which mode applies, treat as Answer and produce a report directly; confirm if wiki building is actually needed.
- Answer mode can read topics/index for retrieval (read-only), but does NOT write topics.
Standard Ingest Loop
- Scan: Run
scanto get new/modified/deleted sources - Process each source:
- For
new/modified: Read source → generate/update enriched topic pages →cache-put - For
deleted: Runcleanup(handles topic frontmatter update and archival)
- Refresh retrieval index: Run
indexto rebuildwiki/.wiki-index.jsonfrom topic frontmatter - Refresh views: Run
gen-baseto (re)write the Bases views (this also rebuilds the index), then updatewiki/index.mdwith topic summaries and embed![[index.base#主题总览]] - Log: Append to
wiki/log.md
Batched Ingest (large vaults)
To avoid loading the whole vault at once, process sources in bounded rounds:
- Plan: Run
plan --batch-size 20once. It scans, splits the pending sources into rounds of at most N, and writes a checklist report towiki/_archived/ingest-tasks.md. - Process one round: Read only the docs in the current batch, author/update their topic pages, and
cache-puteach one. Do not read ahead into later batches. - Confirm the round: Run
batch-done --batch <id>. It refuses (batch_incomplete, listingmissingdocs) until every doc in the batch is cached, then marks the batch[x]and returnsremainingbatch ids. - Repeat for each
remainingbatch untilcompleteistrue. - Finish: Run
cleanup(if any deletions), thengen-base, and log as usual.
status reports batch progress under batch. Re-running plan re-derives batches from the current scan — already-ingested docs drop out automatically.
Bounded Enrichment Loop
After initial ingest, maintain topics incrementally without scanning the entire vault:
- Check worklist: Run
worklistfor two bounded queues:wanted(broken wikilink targets ranked by inbound demand) andstale(low-qualitystub/basicor index-stale topics) - Pick one page: Select a single target from
wanted(create new topic) orstale(enrich existing) - Enrich the page: Read relevant sources, author/update the topic body and frontmatter
- Re-index: Run
index(recomputes quality tiers, backlinks, alias resolution) - Repeat: Run
worklistagain for the updated queue
One page per iteration keeps context bounded; as topics improve, they drop out of stale automatically. status reports wanted_count and stale_count for progress tracking.
Quality Tiering
Topics get a five-tier rating (stub / basic / standard / rich / premium) from structural metrics of the markdown body (sections, evidence lines, script-fair prose weight, images, lead sentence — see references/topic-authoring.md for metric definitions).
Effective prose with source grounding: effective_prose = prose_weight + 500 × unique_source_count — each deduplicated source reference adds a grounding bonus.
Tier gates (top-down first-match):
- premium: sections ≥ 6 AND effective_prose ≥ 3000 AND evidence_lines ≥ 3
- rich: sections ≥ 4 AND effective_prose ≥ 1500 AND (evidence_lines ≥ 1 OR has_image)
- standard: sections ≥ 2 AND effective_prose ≥ 600
- basic: (effective_prose ≥ 200 AND prose_weight > 0) OR sections ≥ 1
- stub: otherwise
Usage: quality reports per-topic metrics and tier distribution; worklist flags stub/basic topics as stale; index recomputes tiers on every rebuild. The formula is deterministic and monotonic — quality and index apply the same source-grounding bonus.
Authors Backfill
When source notes carry a 作者: metadata row: aggregate-authors resolves each topic's sources to root notes and returns the deduplicated first author per topic (read-only). Write the returned lists into each topic's authors frontmatter, then rebuild via index/gen-base. Use extract-authors to inspect raw rows when a result looks off.
Report Capture (research reports)
Persist valuable Agent research reports as first-class, cross-linkable wiki nodes. Capture is passive: the Agent authors the page, then registers it — the CLI writes no prose. This is the default landing spot for Answer mode output.
- Author the page directly under
wiki/queries/<name>.md, with topic-compatible frontmatter (title,sources[may be empty],last_updated, optionalsummary/keywords). Preserve any[[wikilinks]]/![[embeds]]verbatim. - Register it: run
save-report <name>. The CLI ensures thekind: querydiscriminator (directory-derived), appends a log entry, and emits the page path.<name>is sanitized to its final path component with.mdensured. - Re-ingest / cross-link: run
index(orgen-base) to pick the page up into the retrieval index underqueries. To relate a report to a topic, add a[[wikilink]]in either page body — relations are surfaced bygen-canvas.
The CLI touches only wiki/queries/ and wiki/log.md; an uninitialized wiki → wiki_not_initialized, a missing page → capture_not_found, and unparseable frontmatter fails with no write and no log entry.
Web Augmentation & Citations (Supplement when information is insufficient)
When the vault's sources are insufficient to answer fully, supplement with web search — and always cite:
- Exhaust the vault first: route via the Hybrid Retrieval Protocol and ground in
sources[]. Go to the web only for gaps the vault cannot fill. - Search the web: use the
websearchif available. For pages, preferdefuddle parse <url> --md. Do NOT fetch PDF links — record the URL and link text only. - Cite every external claim: inline citation per statement, plus a closing
## 参考来源section listing each source as- [标题](URL)in citation order. Never present web-derived facts without an attributable URL. - Mark provenance: keep vault-grounded and web-supplemented content distinguishable (e.g.
> 来源:网络检索). Never fabricate — if neither vault nor web yields an answer, say so explicitly.
Optional Static HTML Export
gen-site generates a self-contained static site under wiki/site/ for local offline browsing — export is opt-in; Obsidian remains the primary interface. Optional markdown package; degrades gracefully to escaped plaintext when absent. Skipped topics are reported in errors. Design system, themes, page anatomy, and determinism guarantees: see references/site-export.md.
Workflow:
- Run
gen-siteto generate/refresh the site - Check
statusforsite_existsandsite_stale(true if any topic is newer than the site) - Open
wiki/site/index.htmldirectly (fully offline)
Knowledge Graph (Canvas)
gen-canvas renders a deterministic JSON Canvas 1.0 subgraph per topic under wiki/graphs/<topic>.canvas, consumed purely from the retrieval index:
- Scope: the topic at visual center, one node per
sources[]entry on an inner ring, and one node per 1-hop neighbor topic on an outer ring. - Neighbor rule: topics sharing ≥1
sources[]entry ∪ topics the target's body[[wikilinks]]resolve to ∪ topics whose[[wikilinks]]resolve back (by topic-stem), excluding the target. - Layout: closed-form radial — no randomness; ring radii scale with member count. A vault-file source becomes a clickable
filenode; anhttp(s)://source becomes alinknode. - The canvas is a derived, hand-editable artifact, never written back into frontmatter;
status.graphs_staleflags topics newer than (or missing) their canvas. Rebuild the index first so neighbors are current.
Homepage (gen-home)
gen-home builds the wiki/index.md skeleton plus one managed "workspace" block (delimited by <!-- agent-wiki:auto start … --> / <!-- … end --> markers): the script owns the skeleton and managed block; the agent writes the semantic prose (regroup topics, fill range, author the relationship narrative). Cards render as a Dataview grid when detected (--cards auto|on|off), else a static list.
Re-run semantics (never clobber): markers present → only the managed block is refreshed (agent prose preserved byte-for-byte); content without markers → block appended; empty/placeholder → full skeleton. index.base is never touched.
Three layout templates (academic / dashboard / magazine) are bundled under templates/home/ in the skill directory — copy one into {vault}/wiki/index.md and fill the _待补充_ placeholders, keeping the auto markers intact.

REST env vars: AGENT_WIKI_OBSIDIAN_API_KEY (+ optional AGENT_WIKI_OBSIDIAN_API_URL, default https://127.0.0.1:27124; TLS verification skipped only for loopback hosts) — see .env.example.
Hybrid Retrieval Protocol
Answer questions in two passes — route cheaply, then ground precisely:
- Route (fast): Read
wiki/.wiki-index.jsonand use indexed fields to identify likely-relevant topics:
- Alias resolution: Check
alias_indexfirst (maps alternative names → canonical topic keys) - Primary fields:
title,keywords,summary,source_type,sourcespaths - Ranking signals:
quality_tier(premium/rich/standard prioritized),backlinks(popularity/centrality),featuredflag - Do not read every topic file during routing
- Ground (deep): For detailed evidence, methods, paper data, or comparisons:
- Follow each topic's
sourcesentries to read the original notes - Check topics with high
backlinkscounts for cross-references - Use
coverageto verify completeness (identify gaps in source coverage)
- Conflict rule: If an indexed
summaryconflicts with source content, the source note is authoritative; correct the topic and rebuild the index on the next ingest pass.
- Disambiguation: When
alias_indexlookup fails or returns conflicts, consult.wiki-aliases.jsonfor manual disambiguation mappings. Conflicts are reported but never auto-resolved.
The index is a derived cache: topic frontmatter is the single source of truth. index/gen-base regenerate it from wiki/topics/*.md; status reports index_stale read-only and never rebuilds.
Enriched Topic Authoring
For paper-like sources, populate the common frontmatter fields and write concise body sections for key paper data, experimental methods, technical routes, research trends, and source-grounded evidence when the source supports them. If a source lacks a dimension, omit the field or mark the section unavailable — never fabricate. Preserve existing wikilinks/embeds verbatim; never modify source notes or attachments.
Every topic body MUST open with a single positioning sentence (定位句) before the first ## heading — plain paragraph, no heading/list/quote.
The optional frontmatter type field (concept/method/paper/person/event/place/overview) selects a recommended section structure — taxonomy, per-type section templates, and the conflict-recording convention: see references/topic-authoring.md.
URL Fetching Rules
- Use
grok-searchorexaskills if available - PDF links: Do NOT fetch (
.pdfextension orContent-Type: application/pdf) — record URL and link text only
Obsidian Wikilink Preservation
- Preserve
[[note]]wikilinks and![[image.png]]embeds verbatim in topic bodies - In frontmatter
sources: [], use relative paths (no[[...]]wrap)
Integration with Obsidian Skills
- Source reading: prefer
obsidian read file="..."(captures unsaved editor buffers); fall back to direct file read - URL fetching:
defuddle parse <url> --md(replaces WebFetch for token efficiency) - Frontmatter updates: prefer
obsidian property:set name="..." value="..." file="..."; fall back to direct YAML rewrite - Dynamic index (Bases): run
gen-baseto write the two.baseviews deterministically; embed via![[index.base#主题总览]]. View columns, faceting, and fallback: seereferences/index-schema.md

Scope Boundaries
This skill includes research-report capture (save-report) and Canvas knowledge-graph generation (gen-canvas). Two boundaries hold: the CLI makes no embedded LLM API calls (all page prose is Agent-authored; the CLI only places, registers, indexes, or renders derived artifacts), and classification/visualization never physically reorganizes topic/query files into per-category folders — they stay flat under wiki/topics/ and wiki/queries/.
Notes
- All paths in cache and frontmatter use NFC-normalized POSIX separators
- Derived topic paths are constrained to
wiki/topics/—cache-putrejects andcleanupreports out-of-bounds entries (invalid_topic_path) - Concurrent safety: single-process assumption; cache writes are atomic
- Topic pages: Agent should merge with existing content, not overwrite
- No LLM API calls embedded in CLI; all content generation by main Agent
