# wiki-export

Turns the wikilink graph of an Obsidian vault into JSON, GraphML, Cypher, SQL, HTML or OKF. Handy when the notes have to land in Gephi, Neo4j or a script of your own.

## What it does

The skill walks every page in the vault and records what it finds. Frontmatter supplies the node fields — `id`, `label`, `category`, `tags`, `summary` — while the body is grepped for `[[wikilinks]]`. Each link that resolves to a known page becomes an edge typed `wikilink`; a `relationships:` block in frontmatter upgrades that edge to a named type such as `contradicts`.

Pages are then clustered into communities by their first tag, which gives the node colours in the HTML view. Output goes to a `wiki-export/` folder at the vault root and holds five files: `graph.json` in node_link format, `graph.graphml` for Gephi and yEd, Cypher for Neo4j, SQL for Postgres, plus an HTML page for the browser.

Configuration follows the protocol in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md`: an inline `@name` override first, then a `.env` found by walking up from the working directory, then the global config. A vault with fewer than five pages stops the run with a warning. Passing a project name, as in `/wiki-export prismor`, keeps only pages under `projects/<name>/` or tagged `<name>`. A visibility filter drops `visibility/internal` and `visibility/pii` pages. Both filters can be active at once.

## Requirements
- Works with: Obsidian, PostgreSQL

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-export -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/wiki-export/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/wiki-export/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-export -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/wiki-export/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-export -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/wiki-export/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Ar9av/obsidian-wiki wiki-export
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/wiki-export/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-export -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --path .skills/wiki-export
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/wiki-export/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-export -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Ar9av/obsidian-wiki/tree/HEAD/.skills/wiki-export/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- get the Obsidian wikilink graph into a file another tool can read
- open the notes in Gephi or yEd with communities colour-coded
- load page relationships into Neo4j or Postgres
- render an HTML view of the graph for the browser
- share only public pages and leave internal or PII-tagged ones out

## Example prompts
- Export the Obsidian vault graph to JSON and GraphML
- Export only the prismor project
- Do a public export without pages tagged visibility/internal or visibility/pii

# Wiki Export — Knowledge Graph Export

You are exporting the wiki's wikilink graph to structured formats so it can be used in external tools (Gephi, Neo4j, custom scripts, browser visualization).

## Before You Start

1. **Resolve config** — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md` (inline `@name` override → walk up CWD for `.env` → global config → prompt setup). This gives `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH`
2. Confirm the vault has pages to export — if fewer than 5 pages exist, warn the user and stop

## Project Filter (optional)

If the user's invocation includes a project name — e.g. `/wiki-export prismor`, `"export the prismor project"`, `"export project:security"` — activate **project filter mode**:

1. **Extract the project name** from the argument or phrase. Normalise: lowercase, strip the word "project".
2. Keep only pages where **either** condition holds:
   - The page `id` starts with `projects/<name>/` (path-based match)
   - The page's `tags` array contains `<name>` (tag-based match)
3. Drop any edge where either endpoint was excluded.
4. Note the filter in the summary: `(filtered: project:<name> — X of Y pages)`
5. Set `graph.graph.filter = "project:<name>"` in the JSON output.

If both a project filter and a visibility filter are active, apply both (project filter first, then visibility filter on the remaining set).

## Visibility Filter (optional)

By default, **all pages are exported** regardless of visibility tags. This preserves existing behavior.

If the user requests a filtered export — phrases like **"public export"**, **"user-facing export"**, **"exclude internal"**, **"no internal pages"** — activate **visibility filtered mode**:

- Build a **blocked tag set**: `{visibility/internal, visibility/pii}`
- Skip any page whose frontmatter tags contain a blocked tag when building the node list
- Skip any edge where either endpoint was excluded
- Note the filter in the summary: `(filtered: visibility/internal, visibility/pii excluded)`

Pages with no `visibility/` tag, or tagged `visibility/public`, are always included.

## Step 1: Build the Node and Edge Lists
```
