Wiki Query Skill for Claude

Query pro-workflow wikis via SQLite FTS5 BM25 retrieval. Returns top-K passages with citations. Use when answering a question that any of the user's wikis already covers, when the user says "what does the wiki say about X", "ask wiki", "search wikis", or before drafting a new wiki page (to avoid duplication).

Wiki Query

FTS5 BM25 retrieval over wiki pages indexed by wiki-builder.

When to use

Before writing any new wiki page → check coverage first
User asks a domain question that may already live in a wiki
"Ask the <slug> wiki: <question>"
Verifying citations before quoting a claim
SessionStart auto-load when prompt matches a known wiki topic

Commands

node $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/query.js search "<query>" [--wiki <slug>] [--limit 10] [--json]
node $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/query.js related <slug> <rel-path> [--limit 5]
node $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/query.js show <slug> <rel-path>

search with no --wiki ranks across all wikis. related finds adjacent pages by reusing the page's title + summary as the query.

Output

JSON-friendly. Each hit:

{
  "page_id": 12,
  "wiki_slug": "agent-memory",
  "rel_path": "wiki/concepts/episodic-memory.md",
  "title": "Episodic Memory",
  "snippet": "... [time-stamped] traces, distinct from semantic ...",
  "rank": -3.21
}

Lower (more negative) rank = better BM25 match.

Citing back

Every wiki hit must be cited as:

[wiki:<slug>] <title> — `<rel_path>`

Do not paraphrase a hit without showing the source.

SessionStart integration

When pro-workflow's SessionStart hook detects wiki-relevant terms in the user prompt, it runs query.js search "<prompt>" --limit 3 and injects top hits into the session as a hint:

[wiki-query] 3 relevant pages:
- agent-memory · wiki/concepts/episodic-memory.md
- agent-memory · wiki/papers/park-2023-generative-agents.md
- ...

Helps Claude recall existing knowledge instead of redoing research.

Limits (Phase 3.3.0)

BM25 only. Vector search arrives 3.3.2 with sqlite-vec.
No re-ranking. MMR diversity arrives with the research loop in 3.3.1.
Snippet window is 16 tokens around match — tune via --snippet-len.

Biorxiv Database

by christophacham

×4

Efficient database search tool for bioRxiv preprint server. Use this skill when searching for life sciences preprints by keywords, authors, date ranges, or categories, retrieving paper metadata, downloading PDFs, or conducting literature reviews.

Access USPTO APIs for patent/trademark searches, examination history (PEDS), assignments, citations, office actions, TSDR, for IP analysis and prior art searches.

Direct REST API access to KEGG (academic use only). Pathway analysis, gene-pathway mapping, metabolic pathways, drug interactions, ID conversion. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices. Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or KEGG-specific control.

Direct REST API access to PubMed. Advanced Boolean/MeSH queries, E-utilities API, batch processing, citation management. For Python workflows, prefer biopython (Bio.Entrez). Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or custom API implementations.

Autonomous biomedical AI agent framework for executing complex research tasks across genomics, drug discovery, molecular biology, and clinical analysis. Use this skill when conducting multi-step biomedical research including CRISPR screening design, single-cell RNA-seq analysis, ADMET prediction, GWAS interpretation, rare disease diagnosis, or lab protocol optimization. Leverages LLM reasoning with code execution and integrated biomedical databases.

Access USPTO APIs for patent/trademark searches, examination history (PEDS), assignments, citations, office actions, TSDR, for IP analysis and prior art searches.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take rohitg00/wiki-query from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
