Repo Wiki Index

Repo Wiki Index Skill

Build a comprehensive code map for documentation generation and citation.

Purpose

This skill creates a searchable index of the codebase that includes:

1. File inventory (with ignore patterns applied)
2. Module and component boundaries
3. Public interfaces (classes, functions, APIs)
4. Configuration files and their locations
5. Dependencies and imports
6. Key entrypoints

When to Use

Use this skill:

• After running repo-wiki-initialize
• Before generating page content
• When the codebase structure has changed significantly

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Load Configuration

STATE_FILE=".repo_wiki/state.json"

Step 2: Enumerate Files

find . -type f ! -path "./.git/*" ! -path "*/node_modules/*" > .repo_wiki/file_list.txt

Step 3: Detect Technology Stack

Scan for language markers (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, etc.)

Step 4: Identify Components

Map directory structure to logical components in src/, lib/, packages/.

Step 5: Extract Public Interfaces

Find exported functions, classes, and APIs for each language.

Step 6: Build Code Index

Create .repo_wiki/code_index.json with all findings.

Output Files

• .repo_wiki/code_index.json - Main structured index
• .repo_wiki/file_list.txt - All indexed files
• .repo_wiki/components.txt - Component detection results
• .repo_wiki/tech_stack.txt - Technology detection

Success Criteria

• ✅ code_index.json created
• ✅ Technology stack detected
• ✅ Components mapped
• ✅ Entrypoints identified

Next Steps

After indexing:

1. Generate page content: Read repo-wiki-generate/SKILL.md
