| name | paper-wiki-search |
| description | Retrieve relevant pages from the persistent paper literature wiki. Use when Codex needs to build a reading set, inspect wiki context before ingest planning, find existing pages before creating new ones, expand linked pages, search the paper wiki, find in wiki, locate claims/topics/methods/benchmarks/findings, or revise WikiRetrieve behavior. |
Paper Wiki Search
Search selects relevant wiki pages. It does not answer the user's question and does not write wiki pages.
This skill is schema-bound. Before changing search behavior, read references/search-schema.md.
Examples
- User: "find wiki pages about the GSM8K benchmark" -> use
paper-wiki-search.
- User: "locate claims related to chain-of-thought faithfulness" -> use
paper-wiki-search.
- User: "what does the wiki say about this?" -> use
paper-wiki-query, not search alone.
Workflow
- Require a non-empty discipline scope.
- Read special context first: discipline hot cache, global hot cache, global index, and discipline index when present.
- Build a page-file index from wiki markdown files.
- Load candidate pages according to retrieve mode.
- Score pages against the query.
- Select primary pages with mode-specific quotas.
- Optionally expand through wikilinks.
- Return a read order and rationale.
Modes
landscape: prefer synthesis, topic, claim, research question, finding, formal result, paper, method, benchmark.claim_first: prefer claim, synthesis, topic, paper.topic_first: prefer topic, synthesis, claim, paper.paper_first: prefer paper, claim, topic, synthesis.auto: decide from query text.
Boundary
Do:
- Return candidate pages, scores, snippets, reasons, consulted files, and read order.
- Use hot/index context to bias retrieval.
- Expand linked pages only when requested.
Do not:
- Generate final answers.
- File synthesis pages.
- Ingest papers.
- Create missing pages.
- Reintroduce overview pages as seed targets.
Context Discipline
- Use hot and index context to narrow the search before loading page bodies.
- Prefer a small high-signal reading set over broad scans.
- Expand links only when linked pages clarify the current query or ingest decision.
- Stop reading when the read order is sufficient for the caller's next step.
