| description | Gather, improve, and curate repository documentation and wiki content. Use when asked to update, analyze, or modify WIKI instructions/documentation, or when asked to pull an external wiki snapshot into the repo and curate repo-relevant knowledge into a committed, searchable knowledge base under `.ai/wiki/`. |
Repo Documentation Gatherer (Wiki Improvement)
Goal
Keep the external wiki as the source of truth, but make its repo-relevant knowledge usable inside this code-repo workspace by maintaining:
- a raw snapshot under
.ai/Temp/wiki/ (not committed)
- a curated, repo-local KB under
.ai/wiki/ (committed, AI-managed)
The repo-local KB must copy relevant content into .ai/wiki/ so it is indexable by repo tooling (RAG). Do not rely on links back to the external wiki for the actual guidance content.
Expectation: curate broadly across the snapshot.
Required: build an explicit review checklist of all snapshot markdown pages (.ai/Temp/wiki/**/*.md) and work through it; do not skim only a small subset.
Default behaviour (no questions)
When asked to update wiki documentation, do this without asking questions:
-
Refresh snapshot: run .ai/skills/repo-documentation-gatherer/tools/PullWikiIntoTemp.ps1 to materialize the wiki under .ai/Temp/wiki/.
- Note: The script already knows which WIKI to pull.
-
Inventory the snapshot (required): generate a complete list of snapshot markdown pages and use it as the checklist.
Command (PowerShell):
Get-ChildItem -Path .ai/Temp/wiki -Recurse -Filter *.md -File | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName
- Paste this list into the PR/notes and work through it.
- Use
.order files (when present) to follow intended reading order.
-
Curate: mirror a minimal subset of the wiki structure under .ai/wiki/ and copy repo-relevant content into matching KB markdown files.
- Keep filenames and headings aligned with the snapshot where possible.
- Do not collapse everything into a single file unless the snapshot itself is tiny.
Do not ask clarifying questions about scope, target pages, or desired outcomes. Assume the task is: refresh the snapshot and curate repo-relevant content into the KB.
Only ask questions if the workflow is blocked (e.g., missing git credentials/access, missing script, or the snapshot cannot be pulled).
What is repo-relevant (generic)
Treat content as repo-relevant if it enables work in this repository.
A section is repo-relevant if it answers any of these:
- What is this repo for and who uses it?
- How to build/run/test/debug/deploy/release this repo
- Repo-specific conventions and workflows (branching/versioning, environment names, generators, directory layout)
- Required external dependencies and how to configure them locally (databases, SSO, secrets sources, URLs/ports)
- Common troubleshooting and operational runbooks
The parent wiki may contain non-coding content (process, product, domain). Curate it only when it affects working with, operating, or changing this repo.
What to extract (priority order)
Extract, in order:
- Entry points (where to start, key concepts, how to navigate)
- Build/run/test primitives (prefer repo-owned scripts and commands as SSOT)
- Local environment & configuration (env names, required services, ports/URLs, where secrets come from)
- Release/deploy workflow (steps, smoke checks, rollbacks)
- Repo conventions (branching/versioning, structure, generators)
- Troubleshooting (common failures and known fixes)
Do not extract secrets, credentials, or customer-sensitive data.
KB output requirements (inside this repo)
Required entry point
The KB must contain .ai/wiki/index.md as the entry point.
Structure (required)
- Mirror a minimal subset of the snapshot structure under
.ai/wiki/ (e.g., Illuminate/, Coding-Guidelines/, Accessibility/).
- Create one KB markdown per snapshot page you extract from (copy relevant sections into the matching path).
- Keep
.ai/wiki/index.md as a short table-of-contents linking to the curated KB pages.
- Remove/rename superseded KB files in the same change (no duplicates).
Content style
Write short, actionable guidance (checklists and commands). Prefer distillation, but keep the guidance content itself inside .ai/wiki/ (copy from the snapshot and distill there). Do not link back to the external wiki for long details; instead, copy any repo-relevant details that must be searchable.
Keep .ai/wiki/ in sync with the snapshot: if content is removed or materially changed in the external wiki snapshot, remove/update it in .ai/wiki/ in the same change.
Do not add any repo-derived facts, assumptions, or helpful background that is not explicitly present in the external wiki snapshot; when unsure, omit rather than invent.
