# Fedwiki Reindex Skill

The `fedwiki-reindex` skill rebuilds the sitemap and search index for a local federated wiki domain. It is needed because the wiki server caches these indexes in each domain's `status/` folder and does not detect when Claude Code writes page JSON files directly to disk.

## Why It's Needed

When a page is created or edited through the wiki browser UI, the server updates its index automatically. When Claude writes a page file directly to `~/Music/Guides/Private/{domain}/pages/`, the server doesn't know — two cached files in the `status/` folder go stale:

- `sitemap.json` — the page list used for navigation and federation neighbourhood
- `site-index.json` — the full-text search index

## How It Works

Delete the stale index files from `status/`, then `curl` the sitemap endpoint to trigger the server to rebuild them immediately.

```bash
FARM="$HOME/Music/Guides/Private"
DOMAIN="localhost"

rm -f "$FARM/$DOMAIN/status/sitemap.json"
rm -f "$FARM/$DOMAIN/status/site-index.json"
curl -s "http://$DOMAIN/system/sitemap.json" > /dev/null
echo "Reindexed $DOMAIN"
```

## When to Use

- After Claude creates or edits page JSON files directly on disk
- After bulk import of pages
- When the wiki's page list or search results appear incomplete or stale

## Public Wikis — nextcloud-reindex

For public wikis in `~/Nextcloud/fedwiki/`, the remote server needs its index rebuilt separately using `nextcloud-reindex`. This deletes the index files via WebDAV and triggers a rebuild on the remote server:

```bash
nextcloud-reindex skill.fedwiki.club
```

This is needed after bulk page changes — e.g. after running the merge skill's move/trash steps.
