FAQPage Schema

How do I update stale keywords in my recipe config without re-running the full setup wizard?▼

The migrate-recipe command detects and replaces stale template keywords in your personal recipe YAML file, preserving user-added topics and configuration while leaving vault paths and API keys untouched.

Can I preview recipe config changes before applying them?▼

Yes, you can preview recipe config changes using the built-in dry-run mode, which generates diff previews of the targeted keyword migrations without writing any modifications to your original file.

Does the paper-wiki recipe migration modify my vault paths or API keys?▼

No, the paper-wiki recipe migration does not modify your vault paths or API keys; it strictly targets stale template keywords to keep your configuration aligned with bundled templates.

What is the best way to back up a recipe file before migrating template keywords?▼

The best way to back up a recipe file is using the migrate-recipe tool, which automatically creates a timestamped .bak backup of your original configuration before performing any write operations.

Are there limitations to running recipe migrations offline?▼

The migrate-recipe skill operates fully offline with no network calls, meaning its only limitation is that it cannot fetch new templates from remote servers and relies entirely on locally bundled template definitions.
