FAQPage Schema
How do I collect markdown files for software documentation across a project directory?▼

To collect markdown files for software documentation, the skill scans specified project paths, filters out excluded directories like .git, and optionally copies or moves files into a raw directory. This prepares scattered markdown files for software-wiki ingestion.

Can I exclude specific directories when aggregating markdown files for a wiki?▼

Yes, you can exclude specific directories when aggregating markdown files. The skill filters out designated folders like wiki, raw, and .git, along with specified file types, to prevent data duplication and ingestion errors.

Do I need to bootstrap a software-wiki before moving markdown files into it?▼

Yes, you need to bootstrap the software-wiki before moving markdown files. The skill performs pre-ingest validation to ensure the wiki is properly initialized, preventing errors during the subsequent file ingestion process.

What is the best way to gather README files for project meta information?▼

The best way to gather README files for project meta information is using the skill's optional collection feature. It identifies README markdown files across your project structure and optionally moves or copies them alongside other documentation.

Does moving markdown files delete them from their original project paths?▼

Moving markdown files does delete them from original paths, but the skill offers flexible operation. You can choose to copy the files instead, preserving the original directory structure while still aggregating the needed documentation for the wiki.
