55/ 100 5-point scale 2.8 / 5
Trust17 / 25 · 3.4/5

The skill explicitly defaults to dry-run with no writes, requires explicit user confirmation before commit, discloses the auto-commit hook, and specifies locking, duplicate detection, additive behavior, and reversal paths. Deductions apply because --force can overwrite an existing fold, commit mode creates external repository state changes, sensitive-data handling and dependency-integrity checks are not documented, and publisher identity is unverified.

Reliability8 / 20 · 2.0/5

The procedure, parameters, scope limits, self-checks, and failure messages cover short batches, duplicate files, missing pages, and lock conflicts. Deductions apply because no dedicated tests or reproducible evidence cover wiki-fold key paths, and execution depends on Bash, grep, head, the referenced template, wiki-lock semantics, and the surrounding vault environment; static calibration prevents a higher score.

Adaptability10 / 15 · 3.3/5

Triggers, inputs, defaults, output modes, and explicit non-goals are well specified for human-invoked Obsidian log folding, and the core function does not depend on an overseas online service. Deductions apply because non-Unix portability is not addressed and there is no evidence of Chinese-language interaction or examples.

Convention10 / 15 · 3.3/5

The skill has clear information architecture, progressive detail, parameters, examples, boundaries, invariants, concurrency guidance, a referenced canonical template, and repository MIT license context. Deductions apply because the skill itself lacks a clearly assigned maintainer, update path, independent version record, or changelog, and relies on other files for template and locking semantics.

Effectiveness6 / 15 · 2.0/5

The objective, deterministic naming, extractive constraints, count checks, and dry-run/commit outcomes are concrete and potentially directly usable. Deductions apply because no representative generated fold or key-path verification is provided, LLM extraction still requires review, and referenced dependencies may require additional setup; static calibration limits the score.

Verifiability4 / 10 · 2.0/5

The supplied sources contain detailed operational rules, a canonical template, self-check requirements, and repository-level CI and test evidence. Deductions apply because the shown tests mainly cover other scripts and do not exercise wiki-fold parsing, extraction, locking, duplicate detection, or commit behavior; there is no third-party execution evidence or independent corroboration.

Before you use it
  • Commit mode can trigger the PostToolUse auto-commit for wiki, .raw, or .vault-meta changes; confirm the staged scope and preserve a rollback point first.
  • --force overwrites an existing page with the same fold ID; prefer duplicate detection and review extracted content and every numeric claim.
  • The skill depends on Bash/GNU utilities, references/fold-template.md, wiki-lock.sh, and the expected vault structure; the supplied material does not prove all dependencies are available in the target environment.
  • The publisher is not verified by the FollowSkills enterprise registry and should be treated as unknown.

What does this skill do, and when should you use it?

wiki-fold rolls recent entries from wiki/log.md into a metadata page under wiki/folds/. Its summaries are extractive: outcomes and themes must be traceable to specific child entries, with no invented facts. Dry-run is the default and emits content to stdout without writing. Commit mode writes the fold and updates the index and log, while the skill explicitly excludes hierarchical fold-of-folds, automatic triggering, and semantic-tiling deduplication.

Reads the latest 2^k entries from wiki/log.md and records their dates, operations, titles, locations, and links; optionally reads up to 15 referenced pages; creates a deterministic fold ID and target path under wiki/folds/; checks for duplicate targets, insufficient batch size, child/table consistency, and verifiable numeric claims; emits dry-run content through Bash stdout; and in commit mode uses write/edit operations, wiki-lock.sh, and the repository's PostToolUse auto-commit workflow to update the fold page, wiki/index.md, and wiki/log.md.

  1. Obsidian users who want periodic rollups of a growing activity log into readable milestone pages.
  2. Researchers or engineers who need summaries with explicit source traceability and no unsupported synthesis.
  3. Claude Code users who need repeatable, structurally idempotent batches over a fixed number of log entries.
  4. Multi-writer vaults where concurrent fold-page writes require advisory locking.

What are this skill's strengths and limitations?

Pros
  • Dry-run produces no write-tool calls, making review possible before changes.
  • Deterministic IDs provide structural idempotency for the same range and batch exponent.
  • Extractive rules and count checks constrain unsupported summaries.
  • Child entries remain untouched, and wiki-lock.sh addresses concurrent fold writes.
Limitations
  • It handles only flat folds over raw wiki/log.md entries; hierarchical fold-of-folds is out of scope.
  • It refuses to silently process a partial batch when fewer than 2^k entries exist.
  • It depends on Bash, filesystem access, repository scripts, and the repository's PostToolUse auto-commit behavior for commit mode.
  • The supplied material references references/fold-template.md but does not include its contents, so the canonical final template cannot be independently checked here.

How do you install this skill?

There is no standalone installation procedure documented for this skill; it ships as one of 15 skills in claude-obsidian. Run: git clone https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian && cd claude-obsidian && bash bin/setup-vault.sh. Then open the folder in Obsidian, open Claude Code in the same folder, and run /wiki for setup.

How do you use this skill?

Start with the default dry-run, for example: "fold the log, dry-run k=3". The skill reads the latest 2^3 entries and stops if the batch is short or the deterministic fold file already exists. After a clean dry-run, request: "fold the log, commit k=3". An explicit range can override k, and --force can overwrite an existing fold. Commit mode writes the fold page, adds its index link, and prepends a fold entry to wiki/log.md.

FAQ

Does it modify the source log entries or referenced pages?
No. The skill is additive: child log entries and referenced pages are not modified, moved, or deleted. Commit mode writes the fold page and updates the index and log metadata.
What is the difference between dry-run and commit mode?
Dry-run is the default and emits the fold through Bash stdout without write-tool calls. Commit mode writes under wiki/ and accepts the repository's PostToolUse hook, which auto-commits wiki changes.
Does it support automatic runs or hierarchical folding?
No. Folds are human-invoked, and fold-of-folds is explicitly deferred. Semantic-tiling deduplication is also outside this skill's scope.
