wiki

wiki is a skill for Claude Code from SethGammon/Citadel. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A knowledge base built from Markdown files, a plain-text document format. It stores raw sources, organizes them into linked topic pages, and maintains an index without a vector database or embeddings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize a wiki, add sources, ask questions, check its status, merge duplicate information, and rebuild the index.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a structured place to store and find information instead of repeatedly searching through scattered notes. It can also identify stale or disconnected topics.

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 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 1mo 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.

/wiki -- LLM-Native Knowledge Base

Orientation

Use when: building and querying a markdown-first knowledge base -- ingests raw notes, deduplicates, surfaces answers. Don't use when: capturing session learnings into the evolve pipeline (use /learn); generating structured code documentation (use /doc-gen).

Directory Structure

wiki/
  index.md              # Master index
  raw/                  # Unprocessed sources (timestamped files)
  topics/               # Compiled topic files (one per topic, interlinked)
  .wiki-meta.json       # Stats: topic count, source count, last compaction

Commands

Command Behavior
/wiki Status overview: topic count, last update, pending raw sources
/wiki --add [source] Ingest a new source into the wiki
/wiki --query [question] Answer a question using wiki knowledge
/wiki --status Detailed wiki health: topic count, staleness, orphan detection
/wiki --compact Merge, deduplicate, and reorganize topics
/wiki --rebuild-index Regenerate index.md from current topic files
/wiki init [path] Initialize a new wiki at the specified path

Protocol

Command: /wiki init [path]

Create wiki/, wiki/raw/, wiki/topics/, an empty wiki/index.md, and wiki/.wiki-meta.json with fields: created, lastUpdated, topicCount: 0, sourceCount: 0, totalWords: 0, lastCompaction: null. Default path: wiki/ at project root.

Command: /wiki --add [source]

Ingest a new source into the wiki.

Step 1: Determine source type — URL (fetch with WebFetch), file path (read), raw text (use directly), no argument (ask user).

Step 2: Write raw content to wiki/raw/source-{timestamp}.md with header: title/URL, ingested date, type, original reference.

Step 3: Identify 1-5 topics. For each: check if a topic file already exists — append to existing or create wiki/topics/{slug}.md.

Step 4: Each topic file has: title, > Last updated, > Sources, compiled content, and ## Related Topics with [[slug]] cross-links. Scan existing topics for cross-links when writing.

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.
