wiki-query

Purpose

Retrieve from the personal knowledge base before resorting to fresh reasoning. Past findings, target intel, and technique patterns often have the answer Claude needs.

Inputs

• <question> (free text).

Steps

1. docs_query(collection="wiki", query="<question>", k=8). Returns excerpts with source paths + scores.
2. If top-score < threshold (default 0.55), do a fallback grep across wiki/ (case-insensitive, multi-keyword). Combine the two recall sets.
3. Score-rank, deduplicate by source path.
4. If best result clearly answers the question, return it with the source path link.
5. If results are weak/partial AND the question is genuinely useful for future work, optionally suggest a new wiki page (draft inline, ask user to confirm before writing). This is Karpathy's "query can create new wiki pages" pattern.

Outputs

• Returns excerpts inline to Claude's reasoning context (not persisted unless step 5 fires and user confirms).
• If a new page was created, append entry to wiki/_ingest_log.jsonl via wiki-ingest.

Failure modes

• wiki collection missing → user hasn't ingested anything yet. Suggest seeding via wiki-ingest on any past findings.
• docs_query errors → fall back to pure grep.

Notes

This skill is cheap — Claude should fire it eagerly. The wiki exists to be queried.
