Wiki Knowledge Base - Initialization Skill

Note: Source files should be stored externally (e.g., in project's raw/ folder). The wiki stores summaries, analysis, and generated content - not copies of source documents.

Directory Structure Created

wiki/

• entities/ - Entity pages (people, places, things)
• concepts/ - Concept pages (ideas, theories)
• sources/ - Source summaries
• syntheses/ - Cross-source syntheses
• comparisons/ - Comparison analyses
• overviews/ - Overview/topic summaries
• schema/CLAUDE.md - Wiki conventions and workflows
• index.md - Content catalog (auto-updated)
• log.md - Operation log (append-only)

Usage Instructions

Step 1: Ask User for Wiki Location

Before creating anything, ask the user:

1. Where should the wiki be created?
2. What is the wiki purpose?
3. What types of sources will be added?

Step 2: Create the Wiki Structure

Create all directories and files following the structure above.

Step 3: Generate CLAUDE.md Schema

Create a comprehensive schema document that includes:

• Wiki Overview: Purpose and scope
• Architecture: Three-layer explanation
• Page Types: Definitions for each wiki content type
• Naming Conventions: How to name files and links
• Frontmatter Schema: YAML frontmatter for each page type
• Ingest Workflow: Step-by-step for adding new sources
• Query Workflow: How to answer questions
• Lint Workflow: Health check procedures
• Cross-Reference Rules: When and how to link pages

Step 4: Generate Initial index.md

Create an index.md with proper structure for categorizing pages.

Step 5: Generate Initial log.md

Create a log.md with timestamped entry format.

Step 6: Report to User

Summarize what was created and next steps.
