SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Auto-loaded into every conversation by the karpathy-wiki SessionStart hook. This is the loader — it tells the agent WHEN to capture and points at the full operational skills (karpathy-wiki-capture for authoring, karpathy-wiki-ingest for the spawned ingester). Read this preamble; load the on-demand skills only when their moment arrives.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatically activates the capture workflow at session start by routing to karpathy-wiki-capture.
  • Orchestrates the ingestion pathway via karpathy-wiki-ingest when durable captures are ready to be stored.
  • Defers to on-demand skills and keeps the main agent lean by loading only when needed.

Quick Start

Start a session and rely on this loader to enable the on-demand capture and ingest skills when you need them.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-load Claude Code skills for capturing and ingesting wiki content?▼

You can auto-load wiki capture and ingest skills by using a SessionStart hook that routes to a loader, which defers to on-demand skills for actual capture and ingest operations.

When does the agent trigger wiki ingestion versus content capture?▼

The agent triggers wiki content capture during active sessions and initiates ingestion when durable captures are ready to be stored, using a loader to route between the two operations.

Do I need to manually load capture and ingest skills into my session?▼

No, you do not need to manually load skills. A loader orchestrates automatic activation at session start and applies across conversations to load on-demand skills only when needed.

How does the wiki loader keep the main agent lean?▼

The wiki loader keeps the main agent lean by deferring to on-demand skills for actual operations, loading the full capture and ingest workflows only when their specific moment arrives.

Can I use this loader to directly write and store wiki entries?▼

No, the loader itself does not write or store entries. It directs the agent to use the appropriate on-demand skills, specifically pointing at karpathy-wiki-capture for authoring and karpathy-wiki-ingest for storage.

What are the limitations of using an auto-loader for wiki skill orchestration?▼

The auto-loader respects YAML frontmatter entry points but cannot perform actual capture or ingestion itself; it is limited to routing the agent to the appropriate on-demand operational skills.
