Fetch Wiki Info Skill (HTTP-API variant)
Parallel implementation of fetch-wiki-info that hits Wikidata + Wikipedia public APIs directly instead of going through Playwright. Faster, no Chromium dependency, no 8-parallel cap.
Search Term
Topic to search for: $ARGUMENTS
Instructions
Run the bundled Python helper. It is stdlib-only — no pip install.
python3 .claude/skills/fetch-wiki-info-api/fetch_wiki_info.py "$ARGUMENTS"
If the caller wants Wikipedia images + captions (e.g. for the ntr-term-researcher agent's image-xref step), pass --images:
python3 .claude/skills/fetch-wiki-info-api/fetch_wiki_info.py "$ARGUMENTS" --images
For machine-readable output, add --json.
Workflow inside the script
- Wikidata search (
wbsearchentities) — top 5 candidates.
- Wikidata entity fetch (
Special:EntityData/{Q}.json) for the top hit. Extracts label, description, aliases, P31/P361/P279, and the canonical English Wikipedia title via sitelinks.enwiki.title (avoids redirect guessing).
- Wikipedia summary (
/api/rest_v1/page/summary/{title}) — liberal relevance gate: rejects only disambiguation pages or empty extracts.
- Wikipedia full extract (
action=query&prop=extracts&explaintext=1&redirects=1) — full plain-text article body.
- Wikipedia media (with
--images only): /api/rest_v1/page/media-list/{title}, keeping only items whose caption shares a word with the query term.
Set a polite User-Agent (already done in the script).
Output Format
Markdown with the same overall shape as the Playwright skill, plus an optional Wikipedia Full Text section and an optional Wikipedia Images section:
# <term>
## Wikidata (Q#######)
- Label / Description / Aliases / Instance of / Subclass of / Part of / Wikipedia link
## Wikipedia Summary (<title>)
<one-paragraph extract>
## Wikipedia Full Text
<full plain-text article>
## Wikipedia Images (only with --images)
- <file title> — <caption>
- src: <url>
## Notes
- <relevance-gate reasons, if any>
## Sources
- Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q#######
- Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<page>
Notes
- Endpoints are anonymous; no auth required.
- This skill exists in parallel with
fetch-wiki-info for A/B comparison. Once validated on a real Stage 3 NTR run, the Playwright version (and the 8-parallel cap in bulk_ntr_workflow/CLAUDE.md) can be retired.
- If Wikidata has no match, the script reports the empty candidate list and exits cleanly.
- Disambiguation pages (e.g. "head") are dropped via the relevance gate — try a more specific term.
