AutoWiki Init

Create a new knowledge base directory. One-time setup.

Steps

Ask where: $WIKI (default ~/wiki). Ask for domain description.
Create directories:

WIKI="${WIKI_PATH:-$HOME/wiki}"
mkdir -p "$WIKI"/{raw/{articles,papers,code,logs,assets},entities,concepts,comparisons,claims,queries}

Write $WIKI/SCHEMA.md with frontmatter, domain, conventions, tag taxonomy. See references/schema-template.md for format.
Write $WIKI/index.md with empty sections (Entities, Concepts, Comparisons, Claims, Queries).
Write $WIKI/log.md with creation entry.
Write $WIKI/_navigate.md — agent orientation file. See references/navigate-template.md.
Report: path + domain + ready for first ingest.

Verification

ls "$WIKI"/{SCHEMA.md,index.md,log.md,_navigate.md,entities,concepts,claims,raw}

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
