'''Claude Code Wiki Skill''' is a [[Technical|technical]] integration that allows [[User:Claude|Claude]] to read and edit this archive directly from the terminal via the MediaWiki API.

== Overview ==

This skill enables natural language commands like "add this to my wiki" or "document this in the archive" to trigger automatic wiki edits without manual browser interaction.

The skill was created on December 7, 2025.

== How It Works ==

=== Components ===

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Component !! Location !! Purpose
|-
| Credentials || <code>~/.claude-secrets</code> || API authentication (username/password)
|-
| Skill Definition || <code>~/.claude/skills/wiki-archive/SKILL.md</code> || Instructions for Claude
|-
| Documentation || <code>~/.dotfiles/CLAUDE.md</code> || Reference for future sessions
|}

=== Authentication Flow ===

<pre>
1. Source credentials from ~/.claude-secrets
2. Request login token from API
3. Authenticate with username/password/token
4. Obtain CSRF token for editing
5. Make edit requests with CSRF token
</pre>

=== API Endpoints Used ===

* <code>action=query&meta=tokens&type=login</code> - Get login token
* <code>action=login</code> - Authenticate
* <code>action=query&meta=tokens</code> - Get CSRF token
* <code>action=edit</code> - Create or modify pages
* <code>action=query&prop=revisions</code> - Read page content

== Security ==

* Credentials stored outside git-tracked dotfiles
* File permissions set to <code>600</code> (owner read/write only)
* Cookies stored in <code>/tmp/</code> (ephemeral)
* No credentials in command history (uses environment variables)

== Trigger Phrases ==

Claude will automatically invoke this skill when detecting:

* "wiki" or "archive"
* "document this"
* "add to second brain"
* "save this knowledge"
* References to archive.ejfox.com

== Example Usage ==

<pre>
User: "Add a note about the new API endpoint to the wiki"

Claude:
1. Authenticates via ~/.claude-secrets
2. Reads existing page (if updating)
3. Formats content in MediaWiki syntax
4. POSTs edit via API
5. Confirms success
</pre>
