# Arkon Edit > Propose or directly apply edits to Arkon wiki pages, including proposing brand new pages. Contributors create drafts for review; editors/admins can edit/create directly. Triggers on: update wiki, fix this page, propose edit, edit wiki page, correct the KB, improve wiki, resubmit my draft, withdraw my draft, create new wiki page, propose new page. - Skill: `nduckmink/arkon-edit` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add nduckmink/arkon-edit` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/nduckmink/arkon-edit/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: nduckmink (https://skillmd.com/u/nduckmink) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/nduckmink/arkon-edit --- # arkon-edit: Edit the Knowledge Base Always read the current page before proposing changes. Always confirm with the user before submitting. --- ## Permission Tiers | Role | Tool to use | Review required | |------|------------|----------------| | Contributor | `propose_wiki_edit` | Yes — goes to editor queue | | Editor | `edit_wiki_page` | No — writes directly | | Admin | `edit_wiki_page` | No — writes directly | If you try `edit_wiki_page` and get a permission error, fall back to `propose_wiki_edit`. --- ## Workflow: Propose an Edit (Contributor) 1. **Find the page** — `search_wiki(query)` or `read_wiki_index()` to locate the slug. 2. **Read current content** — `read_wiki_page(slug)`. Never propose without reading first. 3. **Draft the edit** — produce the full updated Markdown (not a diff — the tool takes full content). 4. **Confirm with user** — show the diff or summary of changes. Get explicit approval. 5. **Submit** — `propose_wiki_edit(slug, content_md, note="one-line explanation")`. 6. Report the draft ID to the user so they can track it. Do not submit a draft without user confirmation. The note field is important — editors need context. --- ## Workflow: Direct Edit (Editor/Admin) Same steps 1-4 above, then: 5. **Submit** — `edit_wiki_page(slug, content_md, change_note="one-line explanation")`. 6. Report the new version number returned. --- ## Content Rules - Submit **full page content** — these tools replace, not patch. - Max 50,000 characters per submission. - Cannot edit reserved pages: `_index`, `_log`. - Preserve existing wikilinks `[[slug]]` unless intentionally removing them. - Keep the page's existing frontmatter fields (title, type, knowledge_type_slugs, etc.) unless the change specifically needs to update them. --- ## When NOT to edit - Do not edit without user instruction — even if you spot an error while querying. - Do not create new pages via these tools (they only update existing pages). - If the target slug doesn't exist, tell the user — new page creation is an admin/pipeline operation. --- ## Iteration loop: when a reviewer sends changes back If a reviewer used `request_changes_on_draft`, the draft moves to status `needs_revision`. The original draft is preserved; you (or the user) can fix it without creating a fresh proposal. 1. `read_wiki_page(slug)` — make sure the page hasn't moved on while you waited. 2. Read the reviewer note attached to the draft (visible in the in-app notification). Address every point they raised. 3. Confirm the rewrite with the user. 4. `resubmit_draft(draft_id, content_md, note="what I changed in this round")`. - Bumps `revision_round` and notifies reviewers. - The prior submission is snapshotted to history (rounds) so the reviewer can diff your changes against the previous round. ## Withdrawing your own draft If you no longer want a pending or needs_revision draft to be reviewed: ``` withdraw_draft(draft_id) ``` Only the original author may withdraw (admins can override via the REST API). Withdrawn drafts are terminal and disappear from reviewer queues. Confirm with the user before withdrawing — it cannot be reversed via MCP. ## Scope disambiguation When `propose_wiki_edit` or `edit_wiki_page` finds the same slug in multiple scopes (global + project, for example), the call fails with a list of the candidate scopes. Re-call with `scope_type` and `scope_id` to target the specific page the user means. --- ## Creating a brand-new page **First check whether one already exists.** Always run `search_wiki(query)` and inspect the top hits before proposing a new page — duplicates waste reviewer time and trigger the AI duplicate check. | Role | Tool | What happens | |------|------|-------------| | Contributor+ | `propose_wiki_create` | Draft enters reviewer queue; page materialised on approve | | Editor+ (workspace) or `wiki:write:all` (global) | `create_wiki_page` | Page created immediately | Required fields for both tools: - `slug` — unique inside the chosen scope, no whitespace, not `_index`/`_log` - `title` — display title - `content_md` — full Markdown - `page_type` — one of `entity` | `concept` | `source` | `topic` - `scope_type` — `global` | `department` | `project` (with `scope_id` for the latter two) - `knowledge_type_slugs` — taxonomy tags that drive RBAC visibility; ask the user which categories apply rather than guessing Workflow: 1. `search_wiki` to confirm nothing similar exists. 2. Show the user the suggested slug, page_type, knowledge_type_slugs, scope and the full content. Confirm. 3. Call the appropriate tool. Report the returned draft ID (propose path) or the created page version (direct path). If approve later returns a slug conflict, the reviewer or the contributor must override `final_slug` (reviewer side) or rename and resubmit (contributor side). --- ## AI pre-review Every draft you submit is annotated by an AI pre-review layer that flags: - **PII / secrets** (emails, phone numbers, API keys, JWTs, ...) - **Broken wikilinks** to slugs that don't exist - **Possible duplicates** with existing pages (embedding similarity) - **Tone / scope fit / factual concerns** (LLM judgment) The flags are **advisory only** — they do not block submission and reviewers make the final call. But: address obvious ones (broken links, accidental PII) before submitting to save the reviewer time. If a regex flags a legitimate contact email or hotline that you intentionally included in the page, add a suppression comment on the line above: ```markdown Email team: compliance@example.com ``` The marker covers regex matches on the same or next non-blank line. Choose a short, honest reason — it shows up in the reviewer's audit trail.
