/wiki-synthesize

Synthesize `wiki/sources/<slug>.md` pages from raw session transcripts using the configured LLM backend.

Wraps: `python3 -m llmwiki synthesize`

Usage: `/wiki-synthesize` or any natural-language variant. Claude translates the phrasing into flags.

Natural-language → flags

| You say | Runs | |---|---| | "just show me what it would cost" | `python3 -m llmwiki synthesize --estimate` | | "preview without writing" | `python3 -m llmwiki synthesize --dry-run` | | "check the backend is reachable" | `python3 -m llmwiki synthesize --check` | | "force re-synthesize everything" | `python3 -m llmwiki synthesize --force` | | "synthesize but don't touch my wiki yet" | `python3 -m llmwiki synthesize --dry-run` | | "list pending agent prompts" / "what's waiting on me?" | `python3 -m llmwiki synthesize --list-pending` | | "complete pending synthesis \<uuid\>" | `python3 -m llmwiki synthesize --complete <uuid> --page <path>` (body via `--body` or stdin) |

Expected output

First run on a fresh corpus (dummy backend):

Backend: DummySynthesizer
Scanned 785, new 785, synthesized 785, skipped 0
  synthesized: proj-a → 2026-04-17-slug-1
  …

Re-run on unchanged tree:

Backend: DummySynthesizer
Scanned 785, new 0, synthesized 0, skipped 0

When to use

• After `/wiki-sync` produces new `raw/sessions/*.md` files and you

want their `wiki/sources/*.md` counterparts immediately.

• After updating the prompt template under `wiki/prompts/source_page.md`

— pair with `--force` to re-synthesize everything using the new prompt.

• After switching synthesis backends (`dummy` → `ollama` → api).
