File contents

/wiki-lint

Health-check the wiki. Surfaces orphan pages, broken wikilinks, stale claims, missing frontmatter, contradictions, and structural drift. Reports, doesn't silently fix — you decide what to change.

Run this weekly, after batch ingests, and always before sharing the wiki.

Usage

/wiki-lint
/wiki-lint --stale-days 60
/wiki-lint --log-gap-days 7

What happens

Pass 1 — Mechanical (scripts)

engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/lint_wiki.py — orphans, broken links, stale pages, missing frontmatter, duplicate titles, log gap
engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/graph_analyzer.py — hubs, sinks, connected components, graph stats

Pass 2 — Semantic (LLM reads and thinks)

Contradictions between recently-updated pages
Stale claims superseded by newer sources
Concepts mentioned in plain text across 3+ pages without their own page
Cross-reference gaps (entities mentioned but not wikilinked)
Index drift (index.md out of sync with wiki/)

Pass 3 — Report

A markdown report grouped by severity:

# Wiki lint — <date>

**Total pages:** N  **Components:** N  **Last log:** <date>

## Found
- ⚠️ <N> contradictions (list)
- <N> orphans
- <N> broken links
- <N> stale pages
- ...

## Suggested actions
1. Investigate contradiction between [[sources/a]] and [[sources/b]]
2. Create concept page for "<name>"
3. Fix broken link in [[concepts/x]]
4. Re-ingest [[sources/c]] — stale + contradicted
5. ...

Then appends a lint entry to log.md.

Sub-agent

Dispatches the wiki-linter sub-agent. See agents/wiki-linter.md.
