Wiki Query
Ask a question. Read the wiki. Synthesize with citations. Offer to file the answer back.
Pre-condition
Find CLAUDE.md (search from cwd upward). If not found, tell the user to run wiki-init first. Read it to get wiki root path and cross-reference convention.
Process
1. Read wiki/index.md first
Scan the full index to identify which pages are likely relevant. Do NOT answer from general knowledge — the wiki is the source of truth here, even if you think you know the answer.
2. Read relevant pages
Read the identified pages in full. Follow one level of [[slug]] links if they point to pages that seem relevant to the question.
3. Network supplement (if needed)
If local wiki information is insufficient or needs verification for time-sensitive content, use agent-browser skill to fetch current sources. Prioritize authoritative sites:
- General concepts: en.wikipedia.org / zh.wikipedia.org
- Tech/Programming: docs.python.org, developer.mozilla.org, arxiv.org, github.com
- AI/ML Papers: arxiv.org, paperswithcode.com, huggingface.co
- News/Current Events: reuters.com, bbc.com, theguardian.com
- Academic: scholar.google.com, semanticscholar.org
4. Synthesize the answer
Write a response that:
- Is grounded in the wiki pages you read
- Cites inline using
[[slug]] for local pages, URLs for web sources
- Notes agreements and disagreements between pages
- Flags gaps: "The wiki has no page on X" or "[[page]] doesn't cover Y yet"
- Suggests follow-up sources to ingest or questions to investigate
Format for the question type:
- Factual → prose with citations
- Comparison → table
- How-it-works → numbered steps
- What-do-we-know-about-X → structured summary with open questions
5. Always offer to save
After answering, say:
"Worth saving to concepts/<suggested-slug>.md?"
If yes:
- Write the page with frontmatter:
tags: [query, analysis], sources: <number>, updated: <today>
- Update
wiki/index.md under Concepts Pages table:
| [[<slug>]] | Query Synthesis | <today> |
- Append to
wiki/log.md:
## [<today>] query | <question summary>
- Related pages: <slug>
- Web verification: <yes/no>, source: <url if applicable>
- Key findings/conclusion: Answer saved to [[<slug>]]
If no:
Common Mistakes
- Answering from memory — Always read the wiki pages. The wiki may contradict what you think you know, and that contradiction is valuable signal.
- Skipping the save offer — Good query answers compound the wiki's value. Always offer.
- No citations — Every factual claim should trace back to a
[[slug]] or URL.
