Obsidian Feature Parity

Purpose

EXTRACTED: WEIPING_WIKI should borrow Obsidian’s strongest local-first knowledge-system ideas without depending on Obsidian’s proprietary core application.

The repository now has an Obsidian-compatible layer:

• .obsidian/ vault settings for opening this repo directly in Obsidian.
• wiki/bases/*.base views for database-like page slices.
• wiki/canvases/vipinknowledge-map.canvas as a historical-name JSON Canvas visual route map.
• wiki/obsidian-dashboard.md as a generated bookmarks, core-plugin coverage, tags, properties, and task dashboard.
• wiki/commands/obsidian-compatible-commands.md as a generated command-palette page.
• wiki/slides/README.md plus obsidian slides for note-derived slide decks.
• wiki/_templates/daily.md and wiki/_templates/web-clip.md for daily note and web-clip capture workflows.
• python scripts/wiki.py obsidian ... for CLI parity with backlinks, outgoing links, search, quick switcher, commands, file explorer, outline, page preview, footnotes, tags, properties, tasks, daily notes, unique notes, random notes, word count, external links, format audit, slides, export, and report.

Feature Mapping

Obsidian feature	WEIPING_WIKI adaptation
Audio recorder	Not cloned; media evidence belongs in raw/attachments and recording UI is app/hardware-specific
Backlinks / outgoing links	wiki/catalog.json plus python scripts/wiki.py obsidian backlinks/outgoing
Bases	Generated .base files over Markdown frontmatter
Bookmarks	Generated wiki/obsidian-dashboard.md and .obsidian/bookmarks.json
Canvas	JSON Canvas file under wiki/canvases/
Command palette / slash commands	obsidian commands plus wiki/commands/obsidian-compatible-commands.md
Daily notes	obsidian daily plus wiki/_templates/daily.md
File explorer	obsidian files folder and recent-file report
File recovery	Git history, scoped commits, pre-push safety, and generated maintenance artifacts
Footnotes view	obsidian footnotes
Format converter	obsidian format-report conversion-risk audit
Graph view	Existing graph tooling plus generated JSON Canvas map
Note composer	Safety-gated; agents perform merge/split edits with lint/catalog validation rather than blind note surgery
Outline	obsidian outline <page>
Page preview	obsidian preview <page>
Properties view	obsidian properties frontmatter schema report
Publish	Quartz publishing layer
Quick switcher	obsidian quick <query>
Random note	obsidian random
Search	python scripts/wiki.py search and obsidian search
Slides	obsidian slides <page>
Sync	Git commit/push and GitHub remote
Tags view	obsidian tags counts and page lists
Tasks	obsidian tasks checkbox scan
Templates	Existing wiki templates plus daily and web-clip templates
Unique note creator	obsidian unique --title ...
Web viewer	obsidian external-links; browsing stays in the browser/app layer
Web Clipper	wiki/_templates/web-clip.md plus existing URL/source ingest skills
Word count	obsidian word-count
Workspaces	.obsidian/workspaces.json, dashboard, canvas, and Bases

Usage

python scripts/wiki.py obsidian report --json
python scripts/wiki.py obsidian export --json
python scripts/wiki.py obsidian commands --json
python scripts/wiki.py obsidian quick "whole computer" --json
python scripts/wiki.py obsidian outline obsidian-feature-parity --json
python scripts/wiki.py obsidian word-count --top 20 --json
python scripts/wiki.py catalog
python scripts/wiki.py lint

Then open D:\Research\vipin's knowledgebase as an Obsidian vault. The generated dashboard is obsidian-dashboard, the generated base index is README, and the generated command index is obsidian-compatible-commands.

Counterpoints And Gaps

• Obsidian’s core app is not open source. This project adapts documented behavior and open formats rather than copying proprietary implementation.
• The local layer is CLI and file-format oriented; it does not recreate Obsidian’s full interactive desktop UI.
• .base syntax may evolve with Obsidian versions, so future maintenance should validate generated base files after major Obsidian updates.
