Wiki Query with Citations
Answer from your wiki with every claim cited and dated, conflicts shown, gaps admitted, and useful answers saved back.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I'd be happy to help you create a wiki structure. You could use a tool like Notion, Confluence, or Obsidian to organize your research. The key is to think about your categories upfront, set up templates for consistent formatting, and create a tagging system so information is easy to find later. You might want to include sections for project overviews, key findings, references, and team notes. Consider establishing naming conventions and linking related pages together. Would you like specific suggestions for any particular wiki platform or structure?
WIKI STRUCTURE ESTABLISHED CATEGORIES: Projects, Research, References, Team Notes, Archive TEMPLATES: Project Summary (overview, team, timeline), Research Brief (findings, sources, confidence level), Finding Card (single insight, tagged, dated), Reference Entry (source, URL, access date, credibility score) METADATA TAGGING: status (active/archived), priority (high/medium/low), team (engineering/product/design), confidence (high/medium/low), date_added LINKING RULES Every project links to its research briefs Every research brief links back to source references Team notes reference both projects and findings Archive folder dated by completion year SEARCH SETUP Full-text search active across all content Tag queries: @status:active AND @priority:high returns urgent projects Backlink queries surface orphaned pages and missing cross-references Weekly orphan page report auto-generated MAINTENANCE CADENCE Monthly: Archive completed projects to dated subfolder Quarterly: Tag audit to catch stale categories Bi-annual: Consolidate duplicate research pages
About this skill
Get answers you can trace back to your own knowledge base, not a blend of your notes and the model's memory. When the wiki is silent or disagrees with itself, you are told.
What it does
- Reads the index first, searches aliases and synonyms, and follows links only as far as needed
- Cites every factual sentence to a page actually read and dates time-sensitive facts by source
- Shows conflicting pages side by side and flags stale sources
- Says plainly when the wiki does not cover something and suggests what to ingest
- Offers to save substantial answers back as synthesis pages so knowledge compounds
What you get
Short cited answers for lookups, cited tables or briefings for comparisons, and optional synthesis pages with index and log updates.
Best for
Anyone who has built an agent-maintained wiki or Obsidian vault and needs answers they can verify.

name: wiki-query
description: Answer a question from an LLM-maintained markdown wiki with every claim cited to a page, dates on anything time-sensitive, conflicts surfaced instead of smoothed over, a plain "the wiki doesn't cover this" when it doesn't, and an option to file a valuable answer back as a synthesis page. Use when the user asks "what does the wiki say about X", "search my notes for", "according to our knowledge base", "compare A and B from what we've collected", "what do we know about this company", or "look it up in the vault".
