What it does

When a Paperclip LLM Wiki operation issue asks a question, the agent checks the wiki's index, reads the relevant pages and linked pages, and checks raw source files when a claim looks thin. It then answers directly, with inline citations to wiki pages or raw sources, and says plainly when the wiki does not contain the answer. If the answer involved real synthesis, it offers to save that answer as a new synthesis page, but only writes it if the user agrees.

Great for

  • Teams maintaining a knowledge base in the Paperclip LLM Wiki plugin who want answers traceable to sources
  • People who want an agent to say when information is missing instead of guessing
  • Users reviewing wiki content who need citations they can check

Skip it if

  • General questions unrelated to a wiki the user has built, since the skill only answers from that wiki's pages and sources (the wiki may simply not contain the answer)
  • Users without the Paperclip LLM Wiki plugin, since the skill relies on its wiki_* tools and issue structure
  • Situations where an agent should write to the knowledge base without review, since the skill only files synthesis pages after the user opts in

Try asking

  • “Using the operation issue for this wiki, answer: how do managed resources relate to projects?”
  • “Compare the two onboarding approaches in our wiki and tell me the tradeoffs, with citations.”
  • “What does our wiki say about the refund policy? If it's missing, tell me what source to ingest.”
  • “Answer this question from the wiki and offer to file the answer as a synthesis page if it's worth keeping.”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Phrase the question in the operation issue body clearly, since the answer is built from that text.
  • Ask for the synthesis filing only when the answer is a comparison or definition worth keeping, so the wiki does not fill with minor answers.
  • If the answer names a gap, ingest the suggested source and re-ask to get a fuller, cited answer.
