Vault Link Audit

Comprehensive audit of link health: broken wikilinks, orphaned notes, and semantic suggestions.

Phase 1 — Broken Links

  1. Call obsidian_get_broken_links (optionally with subfolder argument).
  2. Present broken links grouped by originating file.
  3. For each, suggest: delete the link, create a stub note, or correct the target name.
  4. Offer to fix each with obsidian_replace_in_note (wrong name → correct name).

Phase 2 — Orphaned Notes

  1. Call obsidian_list_notes to enumerate all notes in scope.
  2. For each candidate orphan, call obsidian_get_backlinks.
  3. Notes with zero backlinks AND not in Daily Notes/ are orphan candidates.
  4. Present orphan list with options: link from a relevant note, move to archive, or delete.

Phase 3 — Semantic Suggestions (Optional)

If the user asks for deeper suggestions:

  1. For each orphan, call obsidian_rag_query with the orphan title as query, limit: 5.
  2. If strong matches exist (low distance score), suggest [[wikilink]] connections.

Arguments

Optional subfolder: /link-audit Engineering/

Tips

  • For large vaults, always scope to a subfolder first (Phase 2 on full vault is slow)
  • Broken links in Daily Notes/ are usually harmless — offer to skip them
  • Never make edits without per-change user confirmation
  • Run /index first if obsidian_get_broken_links seems incomplete
