wiki-lint

---

name: wiki-lint description: Use when an operation issue is a lint or health-check (operationType: "lint") — typically the nightly lint routine or a manual "Run lint" from the UI. Audit the wiki for contradictions, orphans, weak provenance, broken links, and missing concept pages, and return a triage list — do not auto-fix.

Wiki Lint

Audit, do not edit. Return findings the maintainer (human or agent) can triage.

Inputs

• An operation issue with operationType: "lint".
• The operation issue's target wikiId, spaceSlug, and space root. Lint only that space unless the issue explicitly says this is a multi-space sweep.

Workflow

1. Walk the target space's wiki/index.md and wiki tree with wiki_search and wiki_read_page, always passing the operation issue's wikiId and spaceSlug. Build a mental map of: pages that exist, pages referenced from index.md, pages referenced from other pages, and raw sources.
2. Check for the seven recurring issues, in this order:
   1. Contradictions — two pages making incompatible claims about the same entity, decision, or status. Flag both pages, name the conflicting claims, and quote evidence.
   2. Stale claims — a page asserts X, but a newer source under raw/ has superseded it. Flag the older page; never overwrite.
   3. Orphan pages — a wiki/ page is not linked from index.md and not referenced from any other wiki page. Either it should be linked, removed, or merged.
   4. Concept gaps — a term appears on three or more pages but has no dedicated wiki/concepts/<slug>.md. Recommend creating one.
   5. Broken [[wiki-links]] — a link target file does not exist.
   6. Weak provenance — a non-trivial claim is uncited or cites only the wiki itself in a circle. The original source ref should be findable.
   7. Index / log drift — pages exist that are not in index.md, or index.md lists pages that no longer exist. Recent operations in wiki/log.md that did not produce a corresponding page change.
3. Return a triage list, grouped by severity:
   • critical: contradictions, broken links to active pages, fabricated citations.
   • medium: stale claims, weak provenance, large concept gaps.
   • low: orphans, log drift, small index gaps. Each item has: file path, evidence (a 1–2 line quote), suggested fix, and the operation that should follow up (ingest, paperclip-distill, index-refresh, manual review).
4. Do not write to wiki/. Lint is read-only by design — the maintainer or the routine that follows decides which findings to act on.
5. Append a log entry describing the run:

   ## [YYYY-MM-DD] lint | <N findings, M critical>
   - operation issue: <issue identifier>
   - critical: <count>
   - medium: <count>
   - low: <count>
   

Voice

• Lead with the count by severity.
• Each finding is one bullet. Resist commentary.
• When in doubt about severity, say so and surface it as medium with a "verify" note.

Verification

Before closing the operation issue:

• Findings are grouped by severity with file paths, evidence, and suggested fix per item.
• No files under raw/ were modified. No files under wiki/ were modified except wiki/log.md.
• If the run found nothing, the issue is closed with "no findings" and the log entry still exists so future audits can see this run happened.

Tools

wiki_search, wiki_read_page, wiki_list_sources, wiki_read_source, wiki_write_page (only wiki/log.md). Always include the operation issue's wikiId and spaceSlug.
