Connecting AI Agents, IDEs & RAG Pipelines
Because api/llm.php exposes an unauthenticated OpenAPI 3.0 schema (?mode=schema), a standard llms.txt catalog (?mode=tree&format=llms.txt), and offset/limit chunking (?mode=doc), you can wire Standalone Qwiki into AI assistants and retrieval pipelines in minutes.
1. Point Coding Assistants at llms.txt & OpenAPI
- OpenAPI Tool Registration: Give your agent platform or custom GPT the URL
https://<your-wiki>/api/llm.php?mode=schemaalong with your scopedqwk_llm_...Bearer token. The agent discoverstree,doc,search,comments, andtalkautomatically. - System Prompt / Context Bootstrap: Fetch
?mode=tree&format=llms.txtonce at session start so the assistant knows every valid slug, title, and category in scope before pulling full chapters on demand.
2. Efficient Context-Window Slicing (offset & limit)
For large manuals or strict token budgets, avoid pulling every chapter blindly:
import os
import urllib.request
import json
BASE = "https://home.qwiki.wiki/manual/api/llm.php"
KEY = os.environ["QWIKI_LLM_KEY"]
def qwiki_get(params: str) -> dict:
req = urllib.request.Request(
f"{BASE}?{params}",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {KEY}"},
)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as resp:
return json.loads(resp.read().decode("utf-8"))
# 1. Search first instead of scanning every chapter
hits = qwiki_get("mode=search&q=revision+history&limit=5")
# 2. Fetch the top match in bounded chunks (offset/limit in characters)
if hits["matches"]:
slug = hits["matches"][0]["slug"]
chunk = qwiki_get(f"mode=doc&slug={slug}&offset=0&limit=6000")
print(chunk["document"]["title"])
print(chunk["document"]["content"])
3. Conditional Sync for RAG Indexers
When syncing a Qwiki portal into a local vector store or SQLite FTS index:
- Send the previous
ETaginIf-None-MatchonGET /api/llm.php?mode=tree. - If nothing has changed since your last crawl, Qwiki returns
304 Not Modifiedimmediately without re-serializing the tree. - Pair
mode=treemtimetimestamps withmode=doc&format=rawto re-embed only modified chapters.
