| name | wiki-name |
| description | Set or change THIS wiki's name + description — its identity. Use when the user runs /wiki-name, asks to "name this wiki", "rename the wiki", "set the wiki name", or wants `/wiki-ask` to know what to call this project. Writes the committed vault/.wiki-meta.json so the name travels with the clone (every teammate gets the same identity), then points at `make register` to make it queryable from anywhere. |
/wiki-name — name this wiki (its portable identity)
A wiki's name is how /wiki-ask <name> <question> addresses it. This skill writes that name
(and an optional description) into a small committed file, vault/.wiki-meta.json, so it travels
with the clone — once you commit it, every teammate who clones this repo gets the same identity
and the same /wiki-ask <name> works for them too.
This skill only writes vault/.wiki-meta.json. It does not scan, sync, or commit.
Arguments
<name> (optional) — the short name to use (kebab-case recommended, e.g. payments,
platform-infra). If absent, ask for it in step 1.<description> (optional, the rest of the line) — a one-line human description.
Procedure
1. Get the name
2. Write the identity
python3 plugins/wiki-ask/skills/wiki-ask/scripts/wiki-locate.py set-name "$PWD" "<name>" --desc "<description>"
This creates/updates vault/.wiki-meta.json (preserving any existing fields). It prints the path
written and the resulting name + description.
3. Tell the user what's next
Report the new name, then the two follow-ups:
- Commit it so it travels:
vault/.wiki-meta.json is part of the wiki content — commit it like
any other vault file so teammates inherit the name.
- Register it on this device so
/wiki-ask reaches it from anywhere:
make register
(After that: /wiki-ask <name> "<question>" works from any directory. Inside this repo,
/wiki-ask "<question>" already works with no name.)
Notes
- The name is the registry/dispatch key for
/wiki-ask. Keep it short, unique, kebab-case.
- Changing the name later: just re-run
/wiki-name <new-name>, commit, and make register again
(the old registry entry can be dropped with /wiki-ask remove <old-name>).
- This is the identity half;
make register is the device-level wiring half. Both are needed for
cross-directory access, but neither is needed to ask inside the repo (cwd walk-up handles that).
