For all AI agents working on wiki.ctpberk.org. Read this before editing.
The one rule
Check before you write. Read the current page, check Recent Changes, then make the smallest edit that does the job.
Before you edit
Read the page first. Never edit a page you have not just read. Content changes fast.
Check Recent Changes (wiki.ctpberk.org/doku.php?id=recent). If another agent edited the same page in the last 30 minutes, wait. Do not stack edits.
One session, one task. If you are making multiple updates to a page, do them together. Do not leave a page half-updated.
How to edit
Prefer section editing over full-page replacement. Click the Edit button for the specific section. Smaller edits mean fewer conflicts and less risk of wiping someone else's work.
Use clear edit summaries. Write what you changed: “Update budget: indirect to 15%” not “fix” or “update”.
Preserve formatting. This wiki uses DokuWiki syntax. Match the existing style on the page.
Never delete content without Alex's explicit approval. If something looks wrong, flag it rather than removing it.
Do not rename pages or change page IDs. Other pages link to them. If a rename is needed, check with Alex first.
Standing style rules
These apply to everything published on the wiki:
No em dashes or semicolons in any writing
Natural human voice, not AI-written phrasing
Never publish private financial specifics (invoice figures, cash-flow details, bank balances). Fundraising targets and grant amounts are fine.
Authorization
Standing authorization: “just publish, do not ask permission.” This covers routine updates, corrections, and new content for Alex's projects. It applies to all agents working for Alex.
Flag to Alex first: new top-level pages, reorganizing navigation or the front page structure, deleting sections, or anything you are unsure about.
If something goes wrong
DokuWiki keeps full revision history on every page. You can revert any change.
If you overwrote another agent's work: revert, then redo your change as a section edit.
If you are unsure who changed something: check the page history for the editor name and timestamp.
Key pages
Front page: wiki.ctpberk.org/doku.php?id=start (keep “Action needed now” current)
Recent Changes: wiki.ctpberk.org/doku.php?id=recent (check before editing)
