Handy Prompts
Once your AI agent is wired up (see Agents), you don't need to
remember wikidown CLI verbs or flags — just describe what you
want in plain language. These are example prompts for the everyday wiki
work that comes up after initial setup.
Adding a page
- "Add a new page called Troubleshooting under Getting Started, with a section on common install errors."
- "Create a page at /CLI/Advanced-Usage documenting the
--rootflag and theWIKIDOWN_ROOTenvironment variable." - "I want a new top-level page called FAQ. Seed it with three placeholder questions I can fill in later."
Changing the content of a page
- "Update the Format page to add a note about how image paths resolve after a move."
- "Rewrite the intro paragraph on Home to mention the new
export-pdfcommand." - "Find every page that mentions Jekyll and add a short note that
export-htmldoesn't need Ruby." - "Read the CLI page back to me — I want to check the
check-linkssection is still accurate before I edit it."
Reordering pages
- "Move Updating so it's the second page under Getting Started, right after Format."
- "Reorder the top-level nav so Agents comes before Editor."
- "List the pages under /Getting-Started in their current order."
Moving or renaming a page
- "Rename /Testing/Browser-Test-Plan to /Testing/Manual-Test-Plan and fix any links that point at it."
- "Move /Meta/Release-Quirks under /Getting-Started since it's really a setup gotcha."
Committing and pushing changes
- "Commit the wiki changes with a message summarizing what changed, then push."
- "Show me a diff of what you changed in /docs before committing."
- "Commit just the Handy Prompts page for now — I'm not ready to push the rest."
Other useful prompts
- "Search the wiki for every mention of 'breadcrumb' and summarize what's documented."
- "Run check-links and fix anything it flags."
- "Walk the whole wiki and tell me if any page looks out of date."
