Install the Wiki Capture skill

Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)

npx skills add https://github.com/Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill wiki-capture

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Ar9av/obsidian-wiki.git /tmp/obsidian-wiki
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/obsidian-wiki/.skills/wiki-capture ~/.claude/skills/wiki-capture

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.
