| name | wiki-lint |
| description | Use when an operation issue is a lint or health-check (`operationType: "lint"`) — typically the nightly lint routine or a manual "Run lint" from the UI. Audit the wiki for contradictions, orphans, weak provenance, broken links, and missing concept pages, and return a triage list — do not auto-fix. |
Wiki Lint
Audit, do not edit. Return findings the maintainer (human or agent) can triage.
Inputs
- An operation issue with
operationType: "lint".
- The operation issue's target
wikiId, spaceSlug, and space root. Lint only that space unless the issue explicitly says this is a multi-space sweep.
Workflow
- Walk the target space's
wiki/index.md and wiki tree with wiki_search and wiki_read_page, always passing the operation issue's wikiId and spaceSlug. Build a mental map of: pages that exist, pages referenced from index.md, pages referenced from other pages, and raw sources.
- Check for the seven recurring issues, in this order:
- Contradictions — two pages making incompatible claims about the same entity, decision, or status. Flag both pages, name the conflicting claims, and quote evidence.
- Stale claims — a page asserts X, but a newer source under
raw/ has superseded it. Flag the older page; never overwrite.
- Orphan pages — a
wiki/ page is not linked from index.md and not referenced from any other wiki page. Either it should be linked, removed, or merged.
- Concept gaps — a term appears on three or more pages but has no dedicated
wiki/concepts/<slug>.md. Recommend creating one.
- Broken
[[wiki-links]] — a link target file does not exist.
- Weak provenance — a non-trivial claim is uncited or cites only the wiki itself in a circle. The original source ref should be findable.
- Index / log drift — pages exist that are not in
index.md, or index.md lists pages that no longer exist. Recent operations in wiki/log.md that did not produce a corresponding page change.
- Return a triage list, grouped by severity:
- critical: contradictions, broken links to active pages, fabricated citations.
- medium: stale claims, weak provenance, large concept gaps.
- low: orphans, log drift, small index gaps.
Each item has: file path, evidence (a 1–2 line quote), suggested fix, and the operation that should follow up (
ingest, paperclip-distill, index-refresh, manual review).
- Do not write to
wiki/. Lint is read-only by design — the maintainer or the routine that follows decides which findings to act on.
- Append a log entry describing the run:
## [YYYY-MM-DD] lint | <N findings, M critical>
- operation issue: <issue identifier>
- critical: <count>
- medium: <count>
- low: <count>
Voice
- Lead with the count by severity.
- Each finding is one bullet. Resist commentary.
- When in doubt about severity, say so and surface it as medium with a "verify" note.
Verification
Before closing the operation issue:
Tools
wiki_search, wiki_read_page, wiki_list_sources, wiki_read_source, wiki_write_page (only wiki/log.md). Always include the operation issue's wikiId and spaceSlug.
