At a glance

Auto-grow a pro-workflow wiki by running a budget-capped BFS research loop over pluggable source fetchers (web, arXiv, GitHub).

  • The user says research <topic
  • SKILL.md covers Loop semantics, Halt conditions (any one trips), Commands and Source fetchers, plus 10 more sections
  • Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls node; reaches export.arxiv.org and api.github.com; needs PRO_WORKFLOW_GITHUB_TOKEN
  • Grow the <slug wiki

What it does

Wiki Research Loop is an agent skill from rohitg00/pro-workflow. Auto-grow a pro-workflow wiki by running a budget-capped BFS research loop over pluggable source fetchers (web, arXiv, GitHub). Each iteration pops a seed from the queue, fetches sources, drafts a wiki page, dedupes claims against existing pages, enqueues follow-up seeds. Halts on budget cap, depth cap, or convergence. Use when the user says "research <topic", "grow the <slug wiki", "auto-research", or wants a knowledge base that builds itself overnight.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/research-loop.js`, `scripts/source-fetchers/arxiv.js` and `scripts/source-fetchers/github.js`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering LLM wikis, Academic paper search and Knowledge bases. It works with GitHub and arXiv. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code learns from your corrections: self-correcting memory that compounds over 50+ sessions. Context engineering, parallel worktrees, agent teams, and 17 battle-tested…

When your agent uses it

  • The user says research <topic
  • Grow the <slug wiki
  • Wants a knowledge base that builds itself overnight

Example prompts

  • “research <topic”
  • “grow the <slug wiki”
  • “auto-research”
  • “/wiki-research-loop”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in PRO_WORKFLOW_GITHUB_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 86d5f27. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 4 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • export.arxiv.org
    • api.github.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • PRO_WORKFLOW_GITHUB_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Wiki Research Loop loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~120
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 463 words (~1,482 tokens).

“Driver that turns a wiki into an auto-grown knowledge base. Layers on top of wiki-builder and wiki-query.”
