## What it does

The skill reads what `wiki-export` produced and writes it back into a vault. There are two sources. `graph.json` carries the skeleton only: frontmatter, typed relationships and a link list under `## Related`, with no page bodies. An OKF bundle is a `wiki-export/okf/` directory of real markdown files, and pages come back complete. For an actual vault-to-vault move, take the bundle, since graph.json drops the prose.

Before writing anything, the skill resolves config through the protocol in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md` to get `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH`, then reads `AGENTS.md` at the vault root if one exists. It looks for the source in this order: a path argument, `./wiki-export/okf/`, `./wiki-export/graph.json`. Type detection is based on the extension and contents, and a preview with node and link counts appears before the import runs. Conflicts go through one of three modes: `merge` by default, plus `skip` and `overwrite`, which you trigger by phrasing.

In `merge` mode existing pages stay intact: tags are unioned, missing relationships are added, and wikilinks get appended to `## Related`. If your vault already holds pages at the same paths with their own content, the default mode keeps them, so run the import against a copy first. For graph.json the skill also builds adjacency and typed-edge maps, and new pages land with `lifecycle: draft` and `base_confidence: 0.5`.

## Requirements
- Works with: Obsidian

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-import -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-import/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- move a wiki from one Obsidian vault to another
- rebuild pages from a graph.json export
- restore full page bodies from an OKF bundle
- add missing wikilinks to existing notes
- union tags and relationships without overwriting pages

## Example prompts
- import the wiki from ./wiki-export/okf/ into this vault
- load graph.json and create the missing pages, leave existing ones alone
- import the bundle in overwrite mode

# Wiki Import — Reconstruct Pages from an Export

You are importing a vault's knowledge into the current vault from one of two sources produced by `wiki-export`:

- **`graph.json`** — the graph skeleton. Reconstructs page **stubs** (frontmatter, typed relationships, a `## Related` link list — no body). Lossy.
- **OKF bundle** (a `wiki-export/okf/` directory) — the actual markdown files. Reconstructs **full pages** with their real bodies. Lossless. Use this for true vault-to-vault transfer.

Either way, the import writes pages with correct frontmatter and wikilinks, then updates all vault metadata. **Step 2, Step 3 (graph only), and Step 5 are shared; Step 4 forks by source type.**

## Before You Start

**Writing profile:** Before drafting or rewriting natural-language Markdown, read and apply the `Writing Profile Resolution` section in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md`. Framework schema, provenance, safety, and operation-specific requirements take precedence.
Preserve imported source prose; apply `WRITING.md` preferences only to newly generated metadata or stubs.

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. Read `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/AGENTS.md` if it exists — apply any owner-specific conventions.

## Step 1: Locate and Detect Source Type

**Find the import source:**
- If the user provided a path argument, use it directly.
- Otherwise auto-detect, in order: `./wiki-export/okf/` (a directory) → `./wiki-export/graph.json` (a file).
- If neither exists, ask the user for the path.

**Detect the source type:**
- The path is a **file ending in `.json`** → **graph.json import** (validate below, then Step 3 + Step 4-Graph).
- The path is a **directory** containing `.md` files with OKF frontmatter (a `type:` key), and/or a root `index.md` with `okf_version` → **OKF bundle import** (skip Step 3; go to Step 4-OKF). Both `okf_version` 0.1 and 0.2 bundles are accepted; Step 4-OKF reads either.
- Anything else → report what's wrong and stop.

**Validate a graph.json source:**
- Must be valid JSON
