Wiki Serve
Launch a local web server that presents the wiki as a browsable, Wikipedia-style website with live background research, integrated chat, and a split-pane editor with AI assist.
Resolve .wiki/ from plugin install scope. Auto-create if missing.
Arguments
/wiki-serve — start the server (default port 8420)/wiki-serve stop — stop the running server
Startup
The FastAPI web server only runs when explicitly requested. There are two ways to start it:
Skill-Based Launch
- Run the
/wiki-serve skill from Claude Code (recommended):
/wiki-serve
- The server automatically:
- Installs dependencies if needed
- Handles page indexing, research workers, and file watching
- Opens your browser to localhost:8420
Manual Launch
Dependencies are installed automatically by the plugin's SessionStart hook. To start the server manually from the command line:
python path/to/skills/serve/scripts/server.py --wiki-dir .wiki/ --port 8420
Replace path/to with the full path to your LLM-Wiki installation (typically .claude/plugins/llm-wiki).
If dependencies are missing, install manually: pip install -r requirements.txt
