Cross-Linker — Automated Wiki Cross-Referencing

You are weaving the wiki's knowledge graph tighter by finding and inserting missing [[wikilinks]] between pages that should reference each other but currently don't.

Follow the Retrieval Primitives table in llm-wiki/SKILL.md. Build the registry in Step 1 by grepping frontmatter only (not full pages). Reserve full Read for the unlinked-mention detection pass, and even there, only read pages whose summaries/titles make them plausible link targets. Blind full-vault reads are what this framework exists to avoid.

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. WRITING.md preferences apply only to newly drafted or rewritten natural-language Markdown; preserve source content and structured records.

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 and OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT (default: wikilink).
2. Read index.md to get the full inventory of pages and their one-line descriptions
3. Skim log.md to see what was recently ingested (focus linking effort on new pages)

When inserting links in Step 4, apply the link format from llm-wiki/SKILL.md (Link Format section) using the OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT value. When OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT=markdown, compute the relative .md path from the file being edited to the target page.

Step 1: Build the Page Registry

Glob all .md files in the vault (excluding _archives/, _readouts/, .obsidian/). For each page, extract:

• Filename (without .md) — this is the wikilink target
• Title from frontmatter
• Aliases from frontmatter (if any)
• Tags from frontmatter
• Category from frontmatter or directory inference
• One-line summary — first sentence or title field

Build a lookup table:

page_name → { path, title, aliases, tags, summary }

This is your "vocabulary" — every entry in this table is a valid wikilink target.

Step 2: Scan for Missing Links

For each page in the vault:
