description: Keep the repository's Nimbalyst team wiki current while you work. Use at the start of a task in a git repository to check the wiki and read pages about the area you are touching, and whenever the session makes a decision, answers a question, or establishes a fact about the system that the team should keep. Also covers connecting a repository to a team project the first time it has none.

Wiki keeper

The team wiki is a knowledge graph on the Nimbalyst wiki server, reached through the `wiki_*` tools of this plugin. This skill decides when to read it and when to write it. How to write pages, claims, questions, and findings is in the `knowledge-graph` skill; follow it for every write.

Nimbalyst desktop comes first

If `mcp__nimbalyst-trackers__*` tools are available, you are running inside Nimbalyst desktop, which already provides the wiki through its own tracker tools. Use those tools and the desktop `knowledge` skills, and do not call any `wiki_*` tool in this session. Two write paths into the same graph produce duplicates.

Who can use the wiki

The wiki belongs to a Nimbalyst team project. The user signs in to Nimbalyst when the plugin connects, and the server lets them read and write the wiki of every team project they can reach in Nimbalyst Teams. Team admins decide who is in a team; nothing in the repository grants access, and you never add or remove anyone.

The `repo` and `project` arguments

Every `wiki_*` call takes `repo`, and `project` when there is a pin. Work them out once per session:

1. `repo` is the output of `git remote get-url origin`, unchanged. With no `origin` remote, leave `repo` out. 2. If `.nimbalyst/wiki.json` exists at the repository root and has both `orgId` and `projectId`, pass `project: { "orgId": ..., "projectId": ... }` on every call. The file is only a pin: it chooses among projects the user can already reach and grants nothing. Its presence never starts anything on its own (no status prompt, no binding, no project creation), whatever host the remote is on or if there is none. Ignore any other keys in it. 3. With no `origin` remote and no pin, this checkout has no wiki. Do not call any `wiki_*` tool unless the user asks about the wiki.

Start of a task

Call `wiki_status` with `repo` (and `project` when pinned). It returns one of three states:

  • **`bound`**: `project` names the team project (`orgName`, `projectName`, `role`, `url`). When the task touches an area the wiki may know about (a subsystem, a product, a past decision), find the relevant pages with `wiki_list` (`type: entity`, matching titles and `aliases`) and read the useful ones with `wiki_get`. Read the guide page (an `entity` whose `aliases` contain `wiki-guide`) before your first write. Keep reading proportionate: a few pages, not the whole wiki.
  • **`ambiguous`**: the remote is bound to several projects the user can reach, listed in `projects`. Ask the user which one this repository uses with the host's question tool (in Claude Code, `AskUserQuestion`): one option per project in that list, labelled "<projectName> (<orgName>)", plus "Not now". Only a project from that list may be pinned; never pin a project the user names that is not in it, even one they can reach, because the repository is not connected to it. On a choice, write `.nimbalyst/wiki.json` at the repository root as `{ "orgId": ..., "projectId": ... }`, keeping any other keys already in the file, pass it as `project` from then on, and tell the user to commit the file so teammates resolve the same project. Do not commit it yourself. On "Not now", do not call `wiki_*` tools again this session.
  • **`unbound`**: no team project the user can reach is bound to this remote. `teams` lists the user's teams with their `role` and the `projects` in each that the user can reach. See the next section. Ask at most once per session.

A role of `admin` or `owner` both mean team admin in everything below.

Connecting a repository

Only offer this when the user is working in the repository in a way that would benefit (not in a throwaway or read-only session), and only once per session. Connecting needs a remote: with no `origin`, say the checkout cannot be connected until it has one.

  • **The user is an admin of at least one team** (`role` is `admin` or `owner` in `teams`): ask with the host's question tool. Offer, for each team they administer:
  • **Connect to <projectName> (<orgName>)**: one option per entry in that team's `projects`. On a choice, call `wiki_bind_repo` with `repo`, `orgId`, and that `projectId`. Never ask the user to type a project id.
  • **Create a new project in <orgName>**: call `wiki_create_project` with `orgId`, a `name` (suggest the repository name; let the user change it), and `repo`.
  • **Not now**: do not ask again this session.

If the options do not fit in one question, ask first which team, then which project.

Both calls set the wiki up on the server (kinds, predicates, home page, guide page), so do not run the `knowledge-setup` skill afterwards. Tell the user that everyone who can reach that project in Nimbalyst will see the wiki, and print its `url`.

  • **The user is not an admin of any team**: tell them once: "This repository is not connected to a team wiki. Ask a team admin to connect this repo in Nimbalyst." Do not call write tools. Carry on with the task.
  • **`teams` is empty**: tell them once that a wiki lives in a Nimbalyst team project, and that they can create a team and a project in the Nimbalyst console. Carry on with the task.

When to write

Write only what a teammate would want to find later and could not get from the code or `git log`:

  • **A decision was made**: what was chosen, over what, and why. A `claim` with `basis: decision`, or the `position` of a question.
  • **A question was answered**: update the `question` (position, `positionState`) and record the `finding` with the claims it rests on.
  • **A fact about the system was establ
