What it does
Wiki Builder is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Create and maintain reusable research wikis with source provenance, configurable structure, and local markdown outputs.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/wiki-flavors.md` and `scripts/init_wiki.sh`).
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering LLM wikis. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve LLM wikis
Example prompts
- “/wiki-builder”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bash
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
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
Wiki Builder loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 632 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Wiki Builder
Source: dair-ai/dair-academy-plugins (MIT).
Purpose
Create and maintain configurable research wikis. Each wiki is a standalone folder with its own sources, compiled pages, derived artifacts, prompts, and local configuration.
By default, wikis live under ~/dair-wikis/. Override the location with the WIKI_ROOT environment variable or the --root flag on init_wiki.sh.
This skill is intentionally general. Do not hard-code every wiki into the AI papers structure. Use each wiki's wiki.config.md as the source of truth for purpose, audience, page types, style rules, and update workflow.
When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- Start a new wiki or knowledge base.
- Create a wiki for research notes, papers, products, people, organizations, domains, projects, or events.
- Ingest source material into an existing wiki.
- Generate wiki pages, source pages, concept pages, maps, timelines, briefs, or indexes.
- Query a wiki and file the answer back into the wiki.
- Refactor or evolve a wiki's structure, requirements, or flavor.
- Maintain provenance, source notes, and update logs for a wiki.
Default Wiki Location
Store wikis here unless the user explicitly gives a different path:
${WIKI_ROOT:-$HOME/dair-wikis}/<wiki-slug>Use lowercase kebab-case slugs, for example agent-memory, ai-evals, open-source-models, or company-research.
Core Layout
New wikis should start with this layout:
<wiki-slug>/
├── wiki.config.md
├── raw/
├── wiki/
│ └── index.md
├── derived/
├── prompts/
│ ├── compile-index.md
│ ├── compile-source-page.md
│ ├── compile-concept-page.md
│ ├── query-and-file.md
│ └── lint-wiki.md
├── logs/
│ └── maintenance-log.md
└── sources.mdAdd more folders only when the wiki's config needs them. Common additions include wiki/papers, wiki/concepts, wiki/people, wiki/products, wiki/organizations, wiki/timelines, wiki/questions, wiki/maps, and assets.
Starting A Wiki
For new wikis, use the bundled script (resolve its path via the plugin install location, typically ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/wiki-builder/scripts/init_wiki.sh):
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/wiki-builder/scripts/init_wiki.sh" <slug> --title "Readable Title" --flavor researchPass --root /custom/path to put the wiki somewhere other than ~/dair-wikis.
Supported default flavors are research, paper, domain, product, person, organization, and project. Use research when unsure.
After scaffolding:
- Edit
wiki.config.mdto match the user's real goal. - Put copied or downloaded source material in
raw/. - Record source provenance in
sources.md. - Generate pages under
wiki/. - Record major maintenance actions in
logs/maintenance-log.md.
Operating Workflow
1. Resolve The Task
Identify whether the user is asking to start, ingest, compile, query, restructure, lint, or export. If the request names an existing wiki, inspect its wiki.config.md before making changes.
2. Use The Local Config
Every wiki can have different rules. Before generating or modifying pages, read:
wiki.config.mdsources.mdwhen source provenance matters- relevant files under
prompts/when the wiki has custom prompts
The local config beats generic defaults in this skill.
Show full SKILL.md (249 more words)Show less
3. Preserve Provenance
Do not convert loose claims into wiki facts without a source. When using web pages, papers, transcripts, notes, or repository files, record enough provenance that a future agent can find the original source again.
At minimum, sources.md entries should include title, source path or URL, date added, and a short note about what it contributes.
4. Compile Pages
Prefer durable wiki pages over one-off summaries. Strong pages usually include:
- a concise overview
- source-grounded key points
- links to related wiki pages
- open questions or uncertainty
- update notes when relevant
Keep page structure consistent with the wiki's config and flavor.
5. Maintain The Wiki
When adding or changing many pages, update wiki/index.md, relevant maps, and logs/maintenance-log.md. If the user's request changes the wiki's purpose or structure, update wiki.config.md first.
Flavors
Use references/wiki-flavors.md when choosing or adapting wiki types. The reference gives suggested page types and structures for research, paper, domain, product, person, organization, and project wikis.
Quality Bar
- Make the first page useful immediately.
- Prefer explicit filenames and stable slugs.
- Separate raw source material from compiled interpretation.
- Link related wiki pages.
- Mark speculation and unknowns clearly.
- Avoid rewriting the same source summary in many places.
- Keep generated pages navigable for future agents and humans.
Limitations
- Requires the upstream tool, account, API key, or local setup when the workflow names one.
- Does not authorize destructive, production, paid, or external-message actions without explicit user approval.
- Validate generated artifacts or recommendations against the user's real sources before treating them as final.
