Wiki Process Queue

Claim the next pending queue item and get back the vault state your runtime's LLM should classify against. This skill does not call an LLM. It returns the structured context; your runtime concatenates with the per-LLM task-instruction prompt and synthesizes a target page.

After this skill returns, YOUR runtime MUST:

1. Read result.item.content + result.item.reason (the agent who queued it justified why).
2. Read result.vaultContext (SCHEMA, frozen paths, recent log, candidate pages).
3. Use your LLM to pick a target. Options:
   • Merge into an existing result.vaultContext.candidatePages[i].path — preferred if a candidate fits.
   • Create a new page under llm-curated/<freshly-invented-subfolder>/<slug>.md. You may invent subfolder names; there is NO preset taxonomy.
   • Skip if you decide the item isn't wiki-worthy after all.
4. Cascade-update related pages (2026-05-26 — Karpathy 10-15-pages-per-source rule). After writing the primary target, ask: "what existing pages in this vault are now stale or contradicted because of this new content?" Run wiki-query with the topic to surface related pages, read each, and decide:
   • Update: the new content changes the truth of that page → wiki-ingest --target <that-page> with the updated body
   • Cross-link: just add a [[<primary-target-slug>]] to that page so future readers find the connection
   • Leave alone: no contradiction, no overlap — skip
   • Update index.md: if you created a new sub-folder or added a load-bearing page, append a link in llm-curated/index.md (create the file if absent)
   • Aim for 3-7 cascade touches per primary ingest when the topic is load-bearing (customers, decisions, OKRs). Routine learnings may have 0-1 cascade touches.
5. Commit:
   • To write: call wiki-ingest with --vault, --source-type, --source-ref, --source-body, and --target <relative-path>.
   • Then POST /api/wiki/queue/<id>/process with {ingested:true, pagesWritten:[…], targetPath:'…', summary:'…'}.
     • pagesWritten should list ALL pages touched in step 4 + step 5 — primary + every cascade update.
   • To skip: POST /api/wiki/queue/<id>/skip with {skipReason:'…'}.

Hard rules your LLM must honor

• NEVER target a frozen folder (result.vaultContext.schemaSummary.frozenPaths). The ingest call will reject these with HTTP 422.
• PREFER merging into an existing page over creating a new one. Only create new when nothing fits.
• DO NOT re-justify wiki-worthiness — the agent who queued the item already did (result.item.reason). Your job is classification, not gatekeeping. The exception is skip: if context reveals the item is a duplicate / low signal, skip with a skipReason.
• Cascade updates are cheap and load-bearing — do not skip them. A wiki where every page is a disconnected snapshot is no better than chat history. Per Karpathy: "updating cross-references, keeping summaries current, noting when new data contradicts old claims — humans abandon wikis because of this. LLMs don't get bored." The compounding value of the wiki comes from these cascade touches, not from the primary write.

Inputs

Flag	Required	Description
--claimed-by <session>	yes	Your agent session name. Defaults to $CREWLY_SESSION_NAME or crewly-orc.
--vault <path>	no	Filter to a specific vault. Default: any vault with pending items.
--offset <n>	no	Skip the first N pending items. Useful for retry after a skip.
--top-k <n>	no	How many candidate pages to surface (default 5).
--recent-log <n>	no	How many tail log entries to include (default 10).

Output

{
  "success": true,
  "result": {
    "item": { "id": "uuid", "content": "...", "reason": "...", "status": "claimed", ... },
    "vaultContext": {
      "vault": { "scope": "project", "id": "crewly", "path": "..." },
      "schemaSummary": { "hardcoded": [...], "llmCurated": [...], "frozenPaths": ["memory/", "sop-overrides/"], "writePolicy": {...} },
      "recentLog": [...],
      "candidatePages": [{"path": "llm-curated/customers/anthropic.md", "score": 9, "excerpt": "..."}],
      "callerNotes": ["Cite pages by path.", "Refuse writes into frozenPaths.", ...]
    },
    "classifierNotes": [
      "You have ALREADY decided this item is wiki-worthy at queue-add time...",
      "Pick the target page path under llm-curated/...",
      ...
    ]
  }
}

Failure modes

• 404 no_pending_items — queue is empty (for the filter you provided). Not an error; nothing to do this turn.
• 400 claimedBy is required — every claim is owned by a session for audit.
