Vault rollups
Today's daily note:!obsidian daily:path
Two operations for aggregating periodic note content into consolidated artifacts. Determine which to run based on what's asked:
| Operation | When to use | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| History rollup | "Roll up history for [[Project]]", "compile mentions of [[Topic]]" | references/history-rollup.md |
| Periodic rollup | "Roll up my weekly", "summarize this quarter", "generate description for [[2026-W07]]" | references/periodic-rollup.md |
If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it to identify the project, topic, or periodic note to target. If ambiguous between the two operations, ask before proceeding.
Shared workflow
Both operations follow the same pattern:
- Gather — Search for source notes using obsidian CLI or MCP vault search
- Synthesize — Process gathered content according to the operation's rules
- Write — Produce or update the output note
Shared principles
- Preserve source wikilinks back to origin notes for traceability
- Respect the hierarchy: daily → weekly → quarterly → yearly
- Preserve detail in archives; don't summarize what should be kept verbatim
- Update
