Wiki Auto-Research — Fill Knowledge Gaps via Web Search

Scans the wiki for unanswered questions and low-confidence claims, runs targeted web searches, and writes structured research notes to research/ for user review. Notes are NOT automatically merged — the user reviews and runs /wiki-ingest to integrate.

See research-note-format.md for the output contract.

Trigger model

[!important] This skill is manual one-shot. It does NOT auto-fire. It does NOT loop. It does NOT chain into /wiki-ingest. Each run is bounded and produces reviewable artifacts.

Pre-flight

1. Read .obsidian-wiki.config for OBSIDIAN_WIKI_VAULT_PATH (defaults wiki/). If only legacy .env exists, instruct user to run /wiki-setup to migrate.
2. Check WebSearch tool availability — this skill is useless without it. Verify by:
   • Inspecting the tool list in this session (look for WebSearch in the available tools)
   • If absent, exit with this message:

     wiki-auto-research requires the WebSearch tool, which is not available in this session.
