/wiki-query

Ask the wiki a question. The librarian reads index.md first, picks relevant pages across categories, synthesizes an answer with citations, and offers to file the answer back into the wiki so your explorations compound.

Usage

code
/wiki-query "<your question>"
/wiki-query "what does the wiki say about sparse autoencoders?"
/wiki-query "compare monosemanticity and polysemanticity across my sources"
/wiki-query "which sources disagree on scaling laws?"
/wiki-query "give me a comparison table of SAE vs linear probing"

What happens

1. Index-first read — reads wiki/index.md to find relevant pages
2. Drill-in — reads 3-10 pages in full (synthesis + concepts + sources + entities)
3. Follow links — opportunistically follows wikilinks between pages
4. Fallback search — if the index isn't enough, runs engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/wiki_search.py (BM25)
5. Synthesize — composes a direct answer + supporting detail + inline [[sources/xxx]] citations + "Related pages" section
6. Offer to file back — asks whether to save this as a new wiki page (usually in comparisons/ or synthesis/)

Output formats

The answer's format follows the question:

| Question shape | Output |
|---|---|
| "What is X?" | Markdown explanation with citations |
| "A vs B" | Comparison table |
| "Give me a slide deck on X" | Markdown synthesis → /wiki-marp to render |
| "Chart the trend in X" | Python script + saved chart in wiki/assets/charts/ |

Sub-agent

This command dispatches the wiki-librarian sub-agent. See agents/wiki-librarian.md.

Scripts

  • engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/wiki_search.py — BM25 fallback search
  • engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/append_log.py — log filed answers

Rules

  • Read the index first. No grep-everything.
  • Every claim cites a page with a [[wikilink]].
  • Offer to file the answer back — but only for substantive answers worth keeping.
