Curiosity Engine

A self-improving knowledge wiki. Add sources to a vault, build interlinked wiki pages, and let autonomous loops make the wiki better overnight.

Install integrity check (run before any operation)

This skill is more than this file: it ships hash-guarded scripts (scripts/), a workspace template (template/), and docs. Some installers deliver only SKILL.md — notably the skills CLI ≥ 1.5.13, whose root-layout regression installs/updates this skill as a single file, silently deleting scripts/ and template/ from an existing install.

Before the first operation in a session, verify <skill_path>/scripts/setup.sh exists (Glob or a single ls). If it does — proceed normally and skip the rest of this section. If it does NOT:

Stop. Do not attempt INGEST / CURATE / SWEEP / LINK / QUERY workarounds by hand — every safety property of this skill (citation ratchet, hash guard, scrub check) lives in the missing scripts. Improvised curation without them can degrade a wiki the user spent real money building.
Reassure the user: no workspace data is affected — wikis, vaults, and .curator/ live outside the skill install; only the skill's own code is missing.

Tell them how to repair (either command restores the full skill; workspaces then work unchanged):

npx skills@1.5.12 add -g -y benjsmith/curiosity-engine    # pinned known-good CLI
# or
git clone https://github.com/benjsmith/curiosity-engine <skill-install-dir>

After repair, run bash <skill_path>/scripts/setup.sh in the workspace as usual.
