.claude/skills/wiki-cite/SKILL.md

wiki-cite is a skill for Claude Code from badwally/TheKnowledge. It costs 63 tokens per session (776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for adding source citations to wiki pages, either by finding sources for unsupported claims or by saving a quote and URL as a citation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review uncited claims, suggest sources, ingest a URL, and add citation tokens to wiki pages.
Why use it?
It helps prevent factual statements from being left without sources and keeps references in a consistent format.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wiki-cite scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What This Does

Two modes:

Mode A — Fix citations on an existing page: Surfaces uncited claims, runs wiki cite-suggest, confirms with you, writes [[sources/<id>]] tokens.

Mode B — Capture-to-cite from any repo (AGT-7): Takes a quote + URL from anywhere in ~/code/*, ingests the source if not already present, auto-picks the target wiki page, and adds the citation — one operation via MCP.

Reference conventions: WIKI.md § 6 (citation format), § 9 rule 3 (citation grounding).

Usage

# Mode A — fix citations on an existing page
/wiki-cite wiki/synthesis/glp1-hunger.md
/wiki-cite wiki/concepts/food-noise.md --claim "Food noise is..."

# Mode B — capture from another project
/wiki-cite "Food noise is a persistent mental chatter about food" https://example.com/paper
/wiki-cite "GLP-1 reduces food noise" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12345 wiki/concepts/food-noise.md

Execution — Mode A (fix existing page)

  1. Read the page: Identify claims without [[sources/...]] citation tokens.

  2. Run cite-suggest:

    .venv/bin/wiki cite-suggest wiki/<type>/<slug>.md
    
  3. Review candidates: Show top 1-2 candidates per uncited claim. Confirm.

  4. Write citations (one at a time):

    .venv/bin/wiki cite-add wiki/<type>/<slug>.md --claim "<claim text>" --source <id>
    
  5. Validate:

    .venv/bin/wiki finalize wiki/<type>/<slug>.md
    

Execution — Mode B (capture-to-cite)

Single MCP call via wiki_cite_capture:

wiki_cite_capture(
    quote="<the claim text>",
    url="<source URL>",
    target_page="wiki/concepts/<slug>.md",  # omit for auto-pick
)

Or CLI:

.venv/bin/wiki cite-capture "<quote>" <url> [--target wiki/<type>/<slug>.md]

What happens:

  1. URL looked up in raw/ — reused if already ingested (idempotent).
  2. If not present: wiki ingest <url> --draft pulls it in.
  3. wiki/sources/<id>.md backfilled if filter excluded it.
  4. Target page auto-picked by token-overlap if not specified.
  5. wiki cite-add adds [[sources/<id>]] to the matching claim line.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
