How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
5
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 8
Add or update content in the wiki.
- Very specific: line 14
If .wiki/ doesn't exist, create it automatically before proceeding:
- Very specific: line 75
Create a file in .wiki/templates/<type-name>.md
- Distinctive: line 76
Add YAML frontmatter with default fields (title, type, confidence, dates, custom fields)
- Very specific: line 77
Add markdown body content with placeholders (e.g., {{title}}, {{date}})
- Very specific: line 81
When using /wiki-write with type: custom-type-name, the write operation will:
- Distinctive: line 83
Use the template's frontmatter and body as the page skeleton
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Wiki Write
Add or update content in the wiki. Auto-creates .wiki/ if it doesn't exist.
Resolve .wiki/ from plugin install scope. Auto-create if missing.
Auto-Init
If .wiki/ doesn't exist, create it automatically before proceeding:
.wiki/

index.md (empty: "# Wiki Index\n\nNo pages yet.\n")
overview.md (empty: "# Overview\n\nNo content yet.\n")
log.md (empty: "# Activity Log\n")

/wiki-write <url>— fetch and ingest a web page or paper/wiki-write <file-path>— ingest a local file (text, markdown, PDF)/wiki-write "text..."— ingest pasted text/wiki-write --batch <dir>— ingest all.mdfiles in a directory/wiki-write --update <slug>— update an existing page autonomously/wiki-write --update <slug> <url>— update page with content from URL/wiki-write --refresh-stale— find and refresh stale pages based on freshness tier
Ingest (default — no --update flag)
Launch the wiki-writer agent with mode: ingest:
- Fetches content (via
bin/fetch.pychain: cache → Jina → trafilatura → WebFetch) - Saves raw source to
.wiki/raw/ - Writes source summary page and entity/concept pages to
.wiki/pages/ - Runs backlink audit via
bin/backlinks.py update .wiki/pages - Updates
.wiki/index.md,.wiki/overview.md,.wiki/log.md - No confirmation pause — runs end-to-end autonomously
Report: pages written, pages updated, confidence assigned.
Update (--update)
Launch the wiki-writer agent with mode: update:
- Reads current page
- Generates proposed changes
- Runs contradiction sweep against high-confidence pages
- Applies changes directly — same autonomous behavior as ingest
- Updates index.md and log.md
Refresh Stale (--refresh-stale)
Finds pages past their freshness tier TTL (see freshness tiers in /wiki-maintain).
For each: searches for fresh sources → applies updates autonomously.
Batch (--batch)
Sequentially ingest each file in the directory. Report progress.
Custom Page Types
Users can define custom page types by creating template files in .wiki/templates/. Each template is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter that defines default fields and placeholder content.
Creating a custom page type:
- Create a file in
.wiki/templates/<type-name>.md - Add YAML frontmatter with default fields (title, type, confidence, dates, custom fields)
- Add markdown body content with placeholders (e.g.,
{{title}},{{date}})
Using a custom page type:
When using /wiki-write with type: custom-type-name, the write operation will:
- Look for
.wiki/templates/custom-type-name.md - Use the template's frontmatter and body as the page skeleton
- Replace placeholders with actual values (dates, title, etc.)
- Proceed with normal page creation
Placeholder variables:
{{title}}— Page title{{date}}— Current date (YYYY-MM-DD){{created}}— Creation timestamp (ISO 8601){{updated}}— Update timestamp (ISO 8601)

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
