wiki-read

wiki-read is a skill for Claude Code from Oshayr/LLM-Wiki. It costs 102 tokens per session (746 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A question-and-answer tool for a project wiki, a collection of linked knowledge pages. It searches existing pages, gives answers with citations, and can research missing information when needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask questions at quick, standard, or deep depth, search for existing notes, retrieve cited wiki context, and research topics that the wiki does not yet cover.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent searching through notes and helps distinguish answers already documented from information gathered during a new search.

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-read 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Wiki Read

Ask the wiki a question and get a cited answer. If the wiki doesn't have the answer, automatically researches using whatever tools are available, ingests the results, and answers from the new pages.

Resolve .wiki/ from plugin install scope. If not found, say "No wiki found. Use /wiki-write to create one."

Arguments

  • /wiki-read <question> — standard: search wiki first, research if not found, answer with citations
  • /wiki-read quick <question> — index scan only, no research fallback (fastest)
  • /wiki-read deep <question> — full wiki search + raw sources + automatic multi-channel research if needed (most thorough)

Process

Launch the wiki-reader agent with the question and depth level.

Standard depth (default)

  1. Read .wiki/index.md, identify 2-4 relevant pages
  2. Use bin/search-fulltext.py for ranked results
  3. Read the relevant pages, synthesize a cited answer with [[slug]] references
  4. If NOT found or insufficient: automatically research using whatever tools are available:
    • Discover available tools at runtime (WebSearch, WebFetch, wiki_wikipedia_search for factual/encyclopedic topics, any MCP tools like Perplexity, Context7, etc.)
    • Search using available tools, fetch and extract content
    • Ingest results via wiki-writer agent (mode: ingest)
    • Answer from the newly created pages with [[slug]] citations
    • Note: "Researched fresh and saved to wiki."
  5. Offer to save analysis as a wiki page if the answer is substantial

Quick depth

  • Read .wiki/index.md only
  • Scan for matching slugs/titles by text match
  • Return: list of relevant pages with one-line descriptions
  • No page content read, no research fallback — fastest possible response
  • If not found, suggest running standard /wiki-read

Deep depth

Everything in standard, plus:

  • Search .wiki/raw/ for source materials matching the query
  • Cross-reference raw sources with compiled pages
  • Use all available tools iteratively for multi-channel research if needed
  • Most thorough — uses the most context

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.
