FAQPage Schema
How do I preview a wiki page's metadata from inside Claude Code?

You can preview a wiki page by using the read command to fetch its title, summary, and on-disk Markdown path. This provides a concise preview block for quick skimming without loading the full content body.

What's the best way to look up a wiki page by title or page ID using MCP tools?

Direct lookups by page ID or title searches via MCP tools resolve the wiki page identity and return its on-disk Markdown path. This allows fast context switching and quick decision-making during coding.

Can I use Claude Code to check a wiki page identity before opening the full Markdown file?

Yes, you can verify a page's identity by running the read command with a title or ID. It fetches the distilled metadata and summary for review, keeping the full body content on disk for later viewing.

Does the read command load the full wiki page content into the Claude Code context?

No, the read command fetches a concise preview block containing the page title, summary, and file path. It deliberately keeps the full body content on disk to avoid loading unnecessary context.

Why use a wiki page preview instead of opening the full document in Claude Code?

Previewing wiki page metadata enables quick decision-making and fast context switching without loading full content. This distilled approach is useful when verifying a page's identity while coding a plugin.

What are the limitations of previewing wiki pages via MCP tools in Claude Code?

The preview mechanism only exposes a page's identity and metadata, not the full body content. Users must access the resolved on-disk Markdown path separately to view the complete document.
