Wiki Viewer
Single-file HTML view of a pro-workflow wiki. Reads ~/.pro-workflow/data.db, dumps the wiki into one self-contained HTML document with in-browser search, link graph and a seed-queue panel.
Why HTML, not markdown
- Information density — pages, sources, claims, seeds, link graph in one viewport
- Visual clarity — long wikis are unreadable as raw markdown; HTML scales
- Shareability — upload to S3, send the URL; recipient does not need pro-workflow installed
- Two-way interaction — "copy as seed" buttons turn open questions into seed queue prompts you can paste back into Claude Code
- Auditable — quick visual proof that the auto-research loop produced something useful
When to use
- After a
/wiki research run, to see what it built
- Before sharing a wiki with a teammate or with leadership
- Code review: render a
codebase-flavored wiki for an unfamiliar module
- Incident review: render an
incident wiki for a post-mortem readout
- Periodic audits: stale-claim detection, orphan-page review
Commands
node $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/render.js <slug> [--out <path>] [--theme dark|light]
Defaults:
- output:
<wiki-root>/derived/viewer.html
- theme:

What ships in the file
| Panel |
Contents |
| Header |
wiki slug, flavor, scope, root path, last-update timestamp, page count, source count, kill-switch status |
| Sidebar |
page list grouped by page_type, in-page filter input |
| Main |
selected-page detail: title, summary, full markdown content (rendered), inline citations resolve to source rows |
| Sources |
table of every wiki_sources row + manual sources.md rows |
| Seeds |
seed-queue table grouped by status; "copy as research prompt" button per pending seed |
| Link graph |
SVG force-layout of cross-page citations + back-links |
| Search |
in-browser substring + token search over title/summary/content |
| Footer |
meta: schema versions, embedding model if present, generator version |
Self-contained
No CDN, no external fonts, no <script src=>. Inline CSS, inline SVG, inline JS only. Result is a single .html file that opens locally or from any static host.

Design principles
- Type-first — every panel reads as text; visualizations are auxiliary, not load-bearing.
- Zero decoration — no gradients, no glow, no atmospheric backgrounds.
- Color is meaning — Anthropic coral marks the active page and CTAs only.
- Print-friendly —
@media print collapses sidebars so the markdown content prints clean.
Limits (initial release)
- Markdown rendering is a small in-file parser (headings, lists, code blocks, links, blockquotes, tables, footnote citations). No HTML-in-markdown.
- Link graph is precomputed and serialized as SVG; no live re-layout.
- Search is substring + tokenized AND match. BM25 stays in SQLite; the viewer is a snapshot.
- Re-render after each batch of changes. The file is not live.
Future hooks (not in initial release)
--include-council to bundle every linked council transcript inline--include-survey to bundle generated surveys- "Copy as council prompt" buttons next to claims tagged
contested
- Diff view:
--against <previous.html> to highlight new claims since a prior render
1---2name: wiki-viewer3description: Render a self-contained HTML viewer for a pro-workflow wiki. Pages, sources, claims, seed queue, page-link graph and full-text search all in one file. No external dependencies, no JS framework, S3-uploadable. Use when the user wants to browse a wiki visually, share its current state with someone, audit research progress, or hand off a knowledge base. Inspired by Thariq Shihipar's "Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML" — favors information density and shareability over markdown-only outputs.4---5

18## When to use
19
20- After a `/wiki research` run, to see what it built
21- Before sharing a wiki with a teammate or with leadership
22- Code review: render a `codebase`-flavored wiki for an unfamiliar module
23- Incident review: render an `incident` wiki for a post-mortem readout
24- Periodic audits: stale-claim detection, orphan-page review
