Personal Wiki — Onboarding Wizard

Wizard Flow

Step 1: Vault Name

"What would you like to name your knowledge base? This will be the folder name." Default:

second-brain

Step 2: Vault Location

"Where should I create it? Give me a path, or I'll use the default." Default:

~/Documents/

~

{location}/{vault-name}/

Step 3: Domain / Topic

"What's this knowledge base about? This helps me describe the vault's purpose."

Examples: "AI research", "competitive intelligence on fintech startups", "personal health and fitness"

Post-Wizard: Scaffold the Vault

1. Create directory structure

bash <skill-directory>/scripts/onboarding.sh <vault-path>

wiki/index.md

wiki/log.md

2. Generate CLAUDE.md

<skill-directory>/references/agent-configs/claude-code.md

• {{VAULT_NAME}}

  → the vault name from Step 1

• {{DOMAIN_DESCRIPTION}}

  → a one-line description derived from Step 3

• {{WIKI_SCHEMA}}

  → read

  <skill-directory>/references/wiki-schema.md

  and insert everything from

  ## Architecture

  onward

3. Update wiki/log.md

## [YYYY-MM-DD] setup | Vault initialized
Created vault "{{VAULT_NAME}}" for {{DOMAIN_DESCRIPTION}}.

4. Print summary

1. What was created — directory tree and CLAUDE.md
2. Required next step — install the Obsidian Web Clipper browser extension:

   Install the Obsidian Web Clipper to easily save web articles into your vault: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/obsidian-web-clipper/cnjifjpddelmedmihgijeibhnjfabmlf
