What it does

Arkon Edit is an agent skill from nduckmink/arkon. Propose or directly apply edits to Arkon wiki pages, including proposing brand new pages. Contributors create drafts for review; editors/admins can edit/create directly. Triggers on: update wiki, fix this page, propose edit, edit wiki page, correct the KB, improve wiki, resubmit my draft, withdraw my draft, create new wiki page, propose new page.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge bases, LLM wikis and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Arkon: Enterprise AI Knowledge Hub & MCP Server. Self-hosted knowledge base for teams to manage RAG contexts, access policies, and AI skills. Connect Claude and other LLMs via…

When your agent uses it

  • Resubmit my draft
  • Withdraw my draft
  • Create new wiki page
  • Propose new page

Example prompts

  • “/arkon-edit”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__arkon__search_wiki, mcp__arkon__read_wiki_index, mcp__arkon__read_wiki_page, mcp__arkon__propose_wiki_edit, mcp__arkon__edit_wiki_page, mcp__arkon__propose_wiki_create, mcp__arkon__create_wiki_page, mcp__arkon__resubmit_draft, mcp__arkon__withdraw_draft

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Find the page — search_wiki(query) or read_wiki_index() to locate the slug.
  2. Read current content — read_wiki_page(slug). Never propose without reading first.
  3. Draft the edit — produce the full updated Markdown (not a diff — the tool takes full content).
  4. Confirm with user — show the diff or summary of changes. Get explicit approval.
  5. Submit — propose_wiki_edit(slug, content_md, note="one-line explanation").
  6. Report the draft ID to the user so they can track it.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5e4069d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • mcp__arkon__search_wiki
    • mcp__arkon__read_wiki_index
    • mcp__arkon__read_wiki_page
    • mcp__arkon__propose_wiki_edit
    • mcp__arkon__edit_wiki_page
    • mcp__arkon__propose_wiki_create
    • mcp__arkon__create_wiki_page
    • mcp__arkon__resubmit_draft
    • mcp__arkon__withdraw_draft

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Arkon Edit loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 765 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 765 words (~1,607 tokens).

“Always read the current page before proposing changes. Always confirm with the user before submitting.”
