wiki-maintenance
Lifecycle stage: LEARN
Trigger
Use when ingesting sources, resolving contradictions, or preserving synthesis.
When not to use
Do not use when this trigger is absent; choose the command or skill that owns the requested state, artifact, and verification gate.
Inputs
- User request or current artifact.
- Known constraints and context.
- Relevant evidence or source links, if available.
- Current Agent Brain state.
Procedure
- State the current state and target artifact.
- Identify missing blockers and ask at most three blocking questions.
- Separate facts, assumptions, hypotheses, and open questions.
- Apply the anti-rationalization table below.
- Produce the required artifact: Wiki Update.
- Add evidence, risks, decision, and next state.
Anti-Rationalization
| Shortcut | Rebuttal |
|---|
| "This is obvious." | Write the assumption and evidence. If you cannot, it is not obvious. |
| "We can do this later." | If the missing step changes the decision, do it now or state the risk. |
| "The user wants speed." | Reduce scope; do not skip the quality bar. |
| "This does not need verification." | Every important claim or behavior needs proof. |
Verification
- Required artifact exists and is named.
- Facts, assumptions, and open questions are separated.
- Evidence or evidence gaps are explicit.
- Next state is stated.
- Stop conditions are honored.
Output Artifact
Wiki Update
Use templates/wiki-update.md. The artifact should be concise, auditable, and include evidence, blockers, and next action so another agent can resume.
Failure Modes
- Producing advice instead of an artifact.
- Accepting user assumptions without challenge.
- Skipping evidence because the task feels simple.
- Recommending an agent when a simpler system is enough.
- Hiding risks or open questions.
Example
Trigger: source-backed project knowledge needs a durable update. Action: preserve provenance, confidence, freshness, and recheck triggers while updating only the relevant wiki section. Output artifact: templates/wiki-update.md with blockers and next action. Verification: cite changed paths, sources checked, stale claims rejected, and validation evidence.
A new source contradicts an existing project note. The skill should preserve both claims with provenance, mark freshness and confidence, update only the relevant wiki section, and record a recheck trigger instead of overwriting durable knowledge with unverified synthesis.
