wiki-init

When This Skill Activates

• User asks to create, build, or start a vault, wiki, or knowledge base.
• The resolved vault path (see step 0) does not yet contain SCHEMA.md.

Pre-orientation reads

None for the first run.

Steps

1. Resolve target. Run skillwiki path --init-time to see what target the CLI will pick. Confirm with the user, or override with --target <dir>.
2. Verify target is empty or has no SCHEMA.md.
3. Ask the domain question: "What knowledge domain will this vault cover? Be specific."
4. Propose a 10–15 tag taxonomy tailored to the domain. Confirm or accept the user's revision.
5. Ask the language question: "What language should generated page prose use? Default is en. Aliases like chinese-traditional or zh-Hant are accepted."
6. Run skillwiki init --target <dir> --domain "<answer>" --taxonomy "<comma list>" --lang "<lang>".
7. Suggest first sources. Propose 3–5 initial sources (URLs, papers, articles) appropriate to the domain. Prompt the user to provide the first one to ingest, then hand off to wiki-ingest.

Stop conditions

• Target non-empty and --force not consented.
• ~/.skillwiki/.env already binds a different vault or language and --force not consented.

Forbidden

• Modifying anything outside the target directory or ~/.skillwiki/.env.
• Writing to ~/.hermes/.env (read-only fallback).
• Running any LLM-driven content generation in this skill.
