# Wiki Builder _Source: [dair-ai/dair-academy-plugins](https://github.com/dair-ai/dair-academy-plugins) (MIT)._ ## Purpose Create and maintain configurable research wikis. Each wiki is a standalone folder with its own sources, compiled pages, derived artifacts, prompts, and local configuration. By default, wikis live under `~/dair-wikis/`. Override the location with the `WIKI_ROOT` environment variable or the `--root` flag on `init_wiki.sh`. This skill is intentionally general. Do not hard-code every wiki into the AI papers structure. Use each wiki's `wiki.config.md` as the source of truth for purpose, audience, page types, style rules, and update workflow. ## When To Use Use this skill when the user asks to: - Start a new wiki or knowledge base. - Create a wiki for research notes, papers, products, people, organizations, domains, projects, or events. - Ingest source material into an existing wiki. - Generate wiki pages, source pages, concept pages, maps, timelines, briefs, or indexes. - Query a wiki and file the answer back into the wiki. - Refactor or evolve a wiki's structure, requirements, or flavor. - Maintain provenance, source notes, and update logs for a wiki. ## Default Wi

About this skill
What does the wiki-builder skill do?

Create and maintain reusable research wikis with source provenance, configurable structure, and local markdown outputs.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill wiki-builder --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
