Wiki builder

Skill rohitg00/pro-workflow/skills/wiki-builder

Start, structure, and grow a persistent research wiki indexed in pro-workflow's SQLite knowledge base. Each wiki is a folder of markdown pages with provenance, plus a shadow FTS5 index so any session can recall it. Use when the user says "start a wiki", "add to wiki", "compile a page", "wiki on X", or wants a long-lived knowledge base on a topic, paper, product, person, project, or codebase.From its SKILL.md

Install

npx -y skills add rohitg00/pro-workflow --skill wiki-builder

Assembled from the repository path, not quoted from the project. Check it against their README if it does not work.

One thing to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

Wiki Builder

Persistent knowledge base for any topic. Markdown on disk + SQLite FTS5 shadow index.

When to use

"Start a wiki on <topic>"
"Add this paper / link / note to the <slug> wiki"
"Compile a concept page on X in <slug>"
"What does the <slug> wiki say about Y?" (delegates to wiki-query)
"List my wikis"

Locations

Global: ~/.pro-workflow/wikis/<slug>/ — default, never committed
Project: <project>/.claude/wikis/<slug>/ — pass --scope project, committable

Both register in the same ~/.pro-workflow/data.db.

Flavors

Flavor	Use for
`research`	ongoing topic exploration
`paper`	one-paper deep dive
`domain`	broad subject area
`product`	product/tool KB
`person`	researcher/founder dossier
`organization`	company/lab profile
`project`	internal project KB
`codebase`	symbol/file-aware KB tied to a repo
`incident`	post-mortem KB

Layout

<slug>/
├── wiki.config.md         # purpose, audience, page types, style, auto_research block
├── raw/                   # untouched source material (PDFs, scrapes, transcripts)
├── wiki/
│   └── index.md           # entry point, hand-curated TOC
├── derived/               # generated artifacts (surveys, charts, summaries)
├── prompts/               # per-task prompts (compile-page, lint, query)
├── logs/maintenance-log.md
└── sources.md             # one row per source: id | url | title | hash | fetched_at

Flavor adds folders: wiki/papers, wiki/concepts, wiki/people, wiki/products, wiki/timelines, wiki/questions.

CLI surface

node $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/wiki-cli.js init <slug> --title "X" --flavor research [--scope project] [--root <path>]
node $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/wiki-cli.js list
node $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/wiki-cli.js page <slug> <rel-path> --title "X" [--type concept|paper|person|...] [--from-file path]
node $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/wiki-cli.js reindex <slug>
node $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/wiki-cli.js info <slug>

init runs init_wiki.sh (mirrors dair layout) AND registers the wiki in SQLite. page writes markdown + upserts FTS row.

Workflow when invoked

Resolve action (init / ingest / compile / list / reindex / info).
Read wiki.config.md of the target wiki before any compile.
Every claim that lands in wiki/ must cite a row in sources.md (one citation = one source row).
After page write, call wiki-cli.js page so FTS index stays in sync.
Append a one-line entry to logs/maintenance-log.md per change.
Update wiki/index.md if new top-level page.

Quality bar

First page useful immediately, not stub.
Stable slug filenames (tool-use-benchmarks.md, not 2026-05-08-notes.md).
Separate raw source from compiled interpretation.
Cross-link related pages in same wiki via relative links.
Mark speculation with > SPECULATION: block.
No duplicate summaries — link existing page instead.
Generated pages stay navigable for future agents.

Privacy

Wikis with private: true in config never get fetched from web sources by wiki-research-loop. Local raw/ only.

Auto-research opt-in

Phase 3.3.0 ships builder + query only. Loop arrives in 3.3.1. To prep, wiki.config.md may include:

auto_research:
  enabled: false        # flip in 3.3.1
  max_pages_per_run: 5
  max_depth: 3
  budget_usd: 0.50
  fetchers: [web, arxiv, github]

Templates

See templates/ for wiki.config.md, index.md, prompt files. init_wiki.sh copies these into the new wiki root.
