# Wiki Status

**Purpose:** Report a quick, read-only snapshot of the wiki's current state, without the
semantic review a lint pass does.

**Trigger:** User asks for wiki statistics, "what's new", or a quick health snapshot.

**Hard rule:** read-only. Never writes, scaffolds, or modifies any file. If something looks
wrong, point the user at `wiki-lint` or `wiki-manage` instead of fixing it here.

## Steps

1. **Counts.** Read `kb/index.md` - it is the catalog map: totals, one row per collection and
   per area. Small enough to read in full; the page tables live in the shards it links to.

2. **Structural snapshot.**

   ```bash
   tools/wikitool lint
   ```

   No flags: prints the sections that found something - broken links, orphan pages, schema
   issues, uncovered raw files - and writes the full report to `reports/Lint Report <date>.md`,
   naming the path. One pass is enough; read that file for anything the summary left out
   rather than running `lint` a second time.

3. **Most-connected pages.** The link-graph summary is a statistic, not a finding, so it is
   not in the printed summary: read the "Most-Linked Pages" section of the report file step 2
   named. Useful for telling hub pages from candidates for a page of their own.

4. **Recent activity.** Read the last few entries of `kb/log.md`.

5. **Summarize in chat.** Counts by type, N orphan pages, N uncovered raw files, most-connected
   pages, and what changed recently. Do not write a report file - that is `wiki-lint`'s job.

## Decision points

- **Findings worth acting on?** Point at `wiki-lint` (repairs) or `wiki-manage` (content). Do
  not fix anything here.
- **Never publishes** - nothing was written.

## wikitool commands used

`lint` (no flags), `lint --json` (optional, for the link-graph data).

## Output

A short chat summary, plus a pointer to `wiki-lint` if deeper investigation is warranted.
