Wiki Documentation Skill

Create and manage markdown documentation files that sync to Wiki.js.

Context

Repository Location: /mnt/media/wikijs-content/ Git Remote: git.fig.systems/eddie/wiki.git Wiki.js URL: https://wiki.fig.systems

This repository is synchronized with Wiki.js. Any markdown files created here will automatically appear in the wiki after a sync (typically within 5 minutes, or immediately if triggered manually).

Capabilities

1. Create Documentation Pages

   • Write markdown files with proper Wiki.js frontmatter
   • Organize content in directories (maps to wiki hierarchy)
   • Add tags and metadata

2. Git Operations

   • Commit changes with descriptive messages
   • Push to remote repository
   • Pull latest changes before writing

3. Frontmatter Format All wiki pages require this YAML frontmatter:

   ---
   title: Page Title
   description: Brief description of the page
   published: true
   date: 2026-03-15T00:00:00.000Z
   tags:
     - tag1
     - tag2
   ---
   

Workflow

When creating wiki documentation:

1. Navigate to repo:

   cd /mnt/media/wikijs-content
   

2. Pull latest changes:

   git pull
   

3. Write markdown file:

   • Use clear, descriptive filenames (lowercase-with-dashes.md)
   • Include proper frontmatter
   • Use standard markdown formatting
   • Organize in subdirectories as needed (e.g., homelab/services/service-name.md)

4. Commit and push:

   git add <filename>
   git commit -m "Add/Update: brief description"
   git push
   

5. Verify: Changes will appear at https://wiki.fig.systems after sync

File Organization

Suggested directory structure:

/mnt/media/wikijs-content/
├── homelab/
│   ├── services/
│   │   └── service-name.md
│   ├── networking/
│   │   └── traefik-setup.md
│   └── guides/
│       └── how-to-guide.md
├── development/
│   └── project-docs.md
└── reference/
    └── commands.md

Directories in the repo map to page hierarchy in Wiki.js.

# How to Add a New Service

This guide walks through the process...

Git Configuration

The repository is already configured:

• User: Claude
• Email: claude@fig.systems
• Authentication: Token-based (embedded in remote URL)

Best Practices

1. Always pull before writing to avoid conflicts
2. Use descriptive commit messages following the pattern: "Add: X" or "Update: Y"
3. Include proper frontmatter - pages without it won't render correctly
4. Use semantic filenames - lowercase with dashes instead of spaces
5. Organize logically - use subdirectories for categories
6. Add relevant tags - helps with wiki navigation and search
7. Set published: true - pages with published: false won't be visible

Troubleshooting

If page doesn't appear in Wiki.js:

• Check Wiki.js logs: docker compose logs wikijs
• Manually trigger sync in Wiki.js admin panel (Storage section)
• Verify frontmatter is valid YAML
• Ensure file has .md extension

If git push fails:

• Check authentication token is still valid
• Verify network connectivity to git.fig.systems
• Try pulling first to resolve conflicts

Integration with Other Services

This wiki can document:

• Homelab services (compose/services/*)
• Infrastructure setup (Traefik, Authelia, LLDAP)
• Media management (*arr stack, Jellyfin)
• Development projects
• Personal notes and references

All documentation is version-controlled and backed up via Git!
