| name | repolore |
| description | Give any repository a code-derived LLM wiki — cited claims, blob-SHA drift checking, coverage auditing, a generated index. Use when the user wants to set up, health-check, or refresh a maintained wiki / knowledge base / "lore" distilled from the codebase, or asks why-is-it-like-this documentation that stays honest as code changes. |

repolore
Your codebase has lore — the decisions, gotchas, and
why-things-are-the-way-they-are that live in nobody's head for long. This
skill makes you write it down, cite it, and keep it honest: an in-repo,
human-editable wiki distilled from the code, with per-claim citations and
mechanical (blob-SHA) staleness detection. The code is always the source of
truth; the wiki is the orientation layer.
<SKILL_ROOT> below means the directory containing this SKILL.md (it
ships with scripts/, templates/, and references/ alongside).
Six workflows — pick by what the user asked
| User intent | Procedure to read and execute |
|---|
| "set up a wiki / knowledge base for this repo" (once per repo) | <SKILL_ROOT>/references/init.md |
| "is the wiki up to date?" / before relying on wiki content | <SKILL_ROOT>/references/check.md |
| "update the wiki" / check reported stale pages | <SKILL_ROOT>/references/refresh.md |
| "audit the wiki for wrongness" / check's dust line reports overdue pages / "triage the findings" | <SKILL_ROOT>/references/audit.md |
| "update repolore's tooling in this repo" / check reported newer tooling | <SKILL_ROOT>/references/update.md |
| "activate repolore extras" (hook, team-wide nudge, auto-update) / after an update adds capabilities | <SKILL_ROOT>/references/setup.md |
Read the matching procedure fully and follow it exactly, substituting
<SKILL_ROOT> as defined above. Each is self-contained; the scripts they
invoke are stdlib-only (node + git, no npm install).
Day-to-day, outside those workflows: once a repo is initialized, its wiki
rules live in <wikiRoot>/AGENTS.md inside that repo (location recorded in
.repolore/manifest.json) — pages are drafted on demand ("draft
features/<slug> from the wiki plan") and updated as part of the change
that altered the behaviour they describe.
Also available as a Claude Code plugin (/plugin marketplace add emyann/repolore), where these workflows surface as the namespaced commands
/repolore:init, /repolore:check, /repolore:refresh.
