Wiki Switch — Manage Multiple Vault Profiles Global config dir. Every path below is relative to the global config dir, resolved per the Config Resolution Protocol in llm wiki/SKILL.md : $XDG CONFIG HOME/obsidian wiki (default ~/.config/obsidian wiki ), or the legacy ~/.obsidian wiki if that already exists on disk. Resolve it once per invocation with: Each vault is a complete config file at $CONFIG DIR/config.<name . The active vault is whichever file $CONFIG DIR/config symlinks to. Switching vaults means re pointing that symlink. Switch vs. inline targeting. /wiki switch <name changes your persistent default (re points the symlink, affecting all future requests). To touch a different vault for just one request without changing your default, use the inline @name override in any request (e.g. @work save this , wiki query @personal about X ). The @name override is handled by the Config Resolution Protocol in llm wiki/SKILL.md , not by this skill — it resolves $CONFIG DIR/config.<name for that one invocation and never re points the symlink. Dispatch Parse the invocation and route to the right section: Invocation Action /wiki switch <name → Switch /wiki switch list → List /wiki switch show [name] → Show /wiki switch new <name → New /wiki switch (no args) → List (treat as list) @<name … (inline, in any request) → Not this skill — the Config Resolution Protocol resolves that vault for one invocation without re pointing the symlink Switch (default action) Activate a named vault profile. 1. Verify $CONFIG DIR/config.<name exists. If not, tell the user the vault doesn't exist and list what's available (run List ). 2. Run: 3. Read OBSIDIAN VAULT PATH from the newly active config. 4. Confirm to the user: List Show all registered vault profiles and which is active. 1. Find all files matching $CONFIG DIR/config. (exclude config itself — that's the symlink). 2. Resolve the current symlink target: readlink "$CONFIG DIR/config" 3. For each config file, read the first non empty comment line (lines starting with ) as a human description of the vault. Fall back to the file's suffix as the label if no comment exists. 4. Display: Mark the active one with ← active . If the symlink is broken or config doesn't exist, show (none active) . Show Print the full config for a vault. If a name is given, read $CONFIG DIR/config.<name . If no name given, read $CONFIG DIR/config (the active vault). If the file doesn't exist, tell the user and list what's available. Print the file contents verbatim (redact any lines containing API KEY or SECRET — show instead of the value). New Scaffold a new vault config from the current active config as a template. 1. Check $CONFIG DIR/config.<name doesn't already exist. Abort if it does. 2. Copy the active config: 3. Read the copied config. Config files use Section name comment headers to group fields into sections (e.g., Vault specific , Vault independent , Secrets ). Use these sections to determine what to ask about: Fields in sections labeled "vault specific", "paths", or similar → ask the user for new values Fields in sections labeled "vault independent", "global", "shared" → keep as is (copy over unchanged) Fields in sections labeled "secrets" → ask if the new vault uses the same credentials or different ones If there are no section headers, present all fields and let the user decide which to change 4. Ask the user for updated values for the vault specific fields. Use the current values as visible defaults — the user only needs to supply what differs. 5. Write the updated values into $CONFIG DIR/config.<name . 6. Update the top comment line to describe the new vault (e.g., Obsidian Wiki — <name vault ). 7. Confirm: Do not switch automatically — let the user decide when to activate.
