Repo Wiki

Wiki engine for repository documentation: metadata, bi-directional links, and catalog management.

Not this skill: Binary → Markdown conversion and index.md inventory/keyword maps → use workspace-indexer.

Quick Start

# Run from the skill's Base Directory
python3 scripts/repo-wiki.py wiki init
python3 scripts/repo-wiki.py wiki add --all
python3 scripts/repo-wiki.py wiki backlinks --build
python3 scripts/repo-wiki.py wiki links --check

Wiki Commands

wiki init

Generate catalog.json, _index.md, and configuration.

python3 scripts/repo-wiki.py wiki init

Creates:

• _meta/catalog.json — Full document index with metadata
• _meta/backlinks/ — Directory for reverse-link data
• _index.md — Curated landing page
• .repo-wikirc — Configuration file

wiki add [--all] [--file PATH]

Analyze MD file, extract slug, inject frontmatter, update catalog.

python3 scripts/repo-wiki.py wiki add --file guides/getting-started.md
python3 scripts/repo-wiki.py wiki add --all

Adds missing frontmatter fields: title, slug, status, category, tags, created, updated.

wiki link <from-file> <to-slug> [--section HEADING]

Convert a relative link to [[slug]] or [[slug#section]] format.

wiki backlinks --build [--file PATH]

Scan all MD files for [[slug]] references. Write _meta/backlinks/<slug>.json and append "Referenced by" sections.

wiki links --check [--fail-on-broken]

Validate all [[slug]] links against catalog.json. Exit code 1 if broken (CI-friendly).

wiki migrate --to structured

Restructure flat docs into core/, reference/, drafts/, archive/ based on frontmatter status.

wiki status

Print document counts by status and category.

References

• references/linking-patterns.md — [[slug]] syntax, cross-file linking, section references
• references/metadata-schema.md — frontmatter field definitions and validation rules

Workflow

1. wiki init — Generate catalog.json and _index.md
2. wiki add --all — Inject frontmatter into all files
3. wiki link — Convert relative links to [[slug]] (manual or bulk)
4. wiki backlinks --build — Generate reverse references
5. wiki links --check — Validate before committing
6. wiki migrate --to structured — Reorganize into core/reference/drafts/archive

Notes

• .git, __pycache__, node_modules, .github, venv ignored by default
• For binary conversion or workspace index.md, switch to workspace-indexer
