wiki-lint
Skill2 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub
Lint the global LLM wiki (the knowledge base path defined in your global CLAUDE.md) — the maintenance half of the Karpathy LLM-wiki loop. Checks contradictions, stale claims, orphan pages, index freshness, and broken links, then fixes what it can and reports what needs the user. Use when asked to "lint the wiki", "wiki health check", "clean up the wiki", or roughly weekly when the wiki hasn't been linted in 7+ days.

Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
jehrhardtSkillwiki-capture
Quickly capture raw thoughts, links, images, or notes to today's Obsidian daily note from anywhere in Pi. Use when the user wants to jot something down for later wiki processing.
Also in 6 projects that use this
nexuschainsSkillwiki-status
Reports the current state of the wiki vault — page counts, category breakdown, hub pages, orphans, stale entries, and a delta showing what has changed since the last ingest. Use this skill when the operator asks "what's the status", "wiki dashboard", "how many pages", "what's stale", "what's been ingested", "show me the delta", or "wiki health overview". Also surfaces structural insights (top hubs, fragmented clusters, bridge pages) when the operator asks "wiki insights", "what's central", or "show me the hubs". Read-only: this skill reports and recommends; it does not modify any files.
Also in 5 projects that use this
nexuschainsSkillcross-linker
Scans the wiki vault and adds missing [[wikilinks]] between pages that are related but not yet connected. Use this skill when the operator says "link my pages", "find missing links", "cross-reference the wiki", "connect my wiki", "add wikilinks", or after any large ingest to weave new pages into the existing knowledge graph. Also trigger when orphaned pages need connecting or when wiki-lint reports fragmented tag clusters. This is a write-heavy skill — it modifies page files to insert links, unlike wiki-lint which only reports.

Ivy-Chen1999Skillwiki-synthesize
Systematically discover synthesis opportunities across the Obsidian wiki — pairs or clusters of concepts that co-occur frequently across pages but have no synthesis page connecting them. Creates new synthesis/ pages that draw explicit cross-cutting conclusions. Use when the user says "synthesize my wiki", "find connections", "what concepts keep coming up together", "/wiki-synthesize", or after a large ingest when the vault has grown significantly.
Also in 4 projects that use this
Ivy-Chen1999Skillwiki-setup
Initialize a new Obsidian wiki vault with the correct structure, special files, and configuration. Use this skill when the user wants to set up a new wiki from scratch, initialize the vault structure, create the .env file, or says things like "set up my wiki", "initialize obsidian", "create a new vault", "get started with the wiki". Also use when the user needs to reconfigure their existing vault or fix a broken setup.

bozhouDevSkillwiki-init
Use when bootstrapping a new personal wiki for any knowledge domain — research, codebase documentation, reading notes, competitive analysis, or any long-term knowledge accumulation project.

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
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 33 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 33 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
/wiki-lint — wiki maintenance pass
The wiki is the codebase; this is its test suite. WIKI = the global knowledge base path defined in your global CLAUDE.md. It is a git repo — every lint run ends with a commit, so damage is always recoverable.
Checks (run all, cheap subagents for the reading)
Delegate bulk reading to a cheap subagent that returns findings as a packet; verify load-bearing claims yourself before editing (leads, not facts).
- Index freshness — does every status line in
index.mdmatch the current reality in its project page AND the actual repo state (git log dates, status files)? The index is the highest-traffic file; it rots first. - Stale claims — frontmatter
updated:older than 30 days on an ACTIVE project's page = suspect. Cross-check the 2-3 most load-bearing claims per stale page against reality (repo, status files). Fix or mark. - Contradictions — same fact stated differently in two places (index vs page, page vs me/, wiki vs project CLAUDE.md). One fact, one place: fix the copies to reference the canonical location.
- Orphans — pages nothing links to (grep for
[[name]]and](pathreferences). Either link them from the right index/_index page or propose deletion. - Broken links —
[[wikilinks]]and relative markdown links pointing at files that don't exist. Fix or remove. - Delete-when-wrong sweep — anything proven false (old model names, dead tools, superseded decisions): DELETE the claim, don't annotate around it. Update an existing page rather than creating a duplicate; delete notes that turn out to be wrong.
- Log hygiene — daily logs are append-only (never rewrite), but check the last week's rich summaries exist; a run of marker-only days means the session-end summaries aren't being written — flag it.
- Size guard —
index.mdshould stay under ~60 lines of content; me/ files under ~30. If growing, tighten: statuses move to pages, index keeps one line each.
Output
- Apply all safe fixes directly (index refresh, link repair, deletions of proven-wrong claims,
updated:bumps). git -C <WIKI> add -A && git commitwith messagelint: <date> — <n> fixes, <n> flags.- Report to the user: fixes applied, contradictions that needed judgment, anything flagged for them (risks noted in pages, decisions only they can make).
- Append a one-line entry to today's log:
## [YYYY-MM-DD] lint | wiki | <n> fixes.
Scale guard
When the wiki passes ~100 pages or grep starts missing things phrased differently, install qmd (the search tool Karpathy names) as an MCP server. Not before — at current scale the index IS the search engine.
