Gardening Skills Wiki
Gardening Skills Wiki
Overview
The skills wiki needs regular maintenance to stay healthy: links break, skills get orphaned, naming drifts, INDEX files fall out of sync.
Core principle: Automate health checks to maintain wiki quality without burning tokens on manual inspection.
When to Use
Run gardening after:
- Adding new skills
- Removing or renaming skills
- Reorganizing categories
- Updating cross-references
- Suspicious that links are broken
Periodic maintenance:
- Weekly during active development
