query

query is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tom5610/llm-wiki. It costs 91 tokens per session (1,715 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A question-and-search workflow for a markdown wiki. It either lists relevant pages for keywords or writes a cited answer by combining information from the wiki.

In plain words
What is it for?
Looking up topics, locating pages, explaining wiki content, summarizing information, and answering questions with references to the source pages.
Why use it?
It helps users find the right documentation and understand it without manually opening and comparing pages.

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

query 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 3d 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.

Query workflow

The user asks a question. Use $ARGUMENTS as the question if provided (e.g., /query How do the main concepts in the wiki relate to each other?).

Prerequisites

  • Verify wiki/index.md exists. If missing, suggest running /ingest on a source first — it will bootstrap the wiki automatically.
  1. Detect mode. Determine whether the user wants navigation or understanding:

    • Navigational — the input is keywords, a lookup, or asks "where is X?" / "which pages mention X?" / "find X". The user wants a results list, not a composed answer.
    • Synthesis — the input is a natural language question, asks for explanation, comparison, or summary. The user wants an answer.

    Mode override: If the user explicitly says "just search" or "just list pages", use navigational mode regardless of input structure. If the user says "explain" or "synthesize", use synthesis mode. When in doubt, default to synthesis — it's strictly more useful than a list of links.

  2. Find relevant pages.

    • Read wiki/index.md to identify candidate pages.
    • Lens filtering (optional): If the user's question specifies a domain or explicitly requests results from a particular lens (e.g., "in the ML lens" or "within compliance"), filter candidates to pages with the matching lens frontmatter field. If no lens is specified, search across all pages (default).
    • If the index is insufficient, use a tiered search:
      • Tier 1 — Filenames: Scan filenames in wiki/ for query term matches.
      • Tier 2 — Headings and frontmatter: Grep for the query in page titles, headings (#), and frontmatter tags/title fields.
      • Tier 3 — Body text: Grep the full body text of remaining pages.
      • For wikis with >50 pages, stop after Tier 2 if 5+ matches are found.
  3. Respond according to mode.

    If navigational: Present a concise results list. For each matching page, show:

    • Page title as a [[wikilink]]
    • Page type and tags
    • Most relevant excerpt (1-3 lines of context)
    • If no results: suggest related terms, alternative spellings, or rephrasing as a synthesis question.
    • Do not read full pages or synthesize — keep it cheap and fast.

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.
