Hermes and Obsidian: build an LLM wiki with human review

This tutorial uses Hermes Agent and Obsidian to build an LLM wiki with a human review step. The speaker maps the workflow to medallion architecture: raw sources form the bronze layer, review proposals sit in silver, and approved wiki pages become gold.

Setup starts with an Obsidian vault and a Hermes profile connected to its folder. The Docker example passes vault and wiki paths through environment variables and mounts the vault as a volume. Obsidian Web Clipper supplies a video transcript for ingestion.

The first path uses Hermes' built-in LLM wiki skill, shown as version 2.1.0. In the demonstration, it creates linked concept pages and flags a deliberately conflicting note. It also updates the wiki before the speaker can review those changes. The second path adds a review companion that prepares Markdown proposals for approval or revision. The speaker cautions that an instruction-based skill can still be bypassed by the agent.

The third path uses the speaker's Agentic Librarian kit, with scripts intended to validate proposals and enforce approval checks. Obsidian and a separate Decision Studio display the same review inbox, while Git provides rollback points. A local LLM can supply the semantic work, but the speaker says it must handle context, structured output, filenames, and citations reliably. The review companion is available free; the full kit is offered to members.
