Wikipedia Search Skill

Search Wikipedia and return matching article titles so the user can pick one to read.

Steps

1. Search Wikipedia

Run a Python snippet to search:

python3 -c "
import wikipedia
import json

results = wikipedia.search('QUERY', results=10)
print(json.dumps(results, indent=2))
"

Replace QUERY with the user's search term.

2. Handle Disambiguation

If the search returns ambiguous results, the wikipedia package may raise a DisambiguationError. Catch it and present the options:

python3 -c "
import wikipedia
import json

try:
    results = wikipedia.search('QUERY', results=10)
    print(json.dumps(results, indent=2))
except wikipedia.exceptions.DisambiguationError as e:
    print(json.dumps({'disambiguation': True, 'options': e.options[:15]}, indent=2))
"

3. Present Results

## Wikipedia Search: "<query>"

Found X matching articles:
1. <Article Title 1>
2. <Article Title 2>
3. <Article Title 3>
...

Ask me to summarize any of these, or say "tell me about <title>" for details.

4. Summary

Tell the user how many results were found and list the top matches. If there was a disambiguation, explain that the term has multiple meanings and list the options.
