Individual skill

wiki-summary

Fetch Wikipedia's current summary of any topic with zero API keys — the REST summary endpoint via curl, for answers that need today's article rather than training-data memory. Use when asked what does Wikipedia say about X, get me the current summary of a topic, check a fact against Wikipedia, or has this article changed. Produces the live extract with the article link, disambiguation handling, and a clean separation between what Wikipedia says and what the model adds.

# Wiki Summary Skill

The model already knows what Wikipedia said at training time; this skill fetches what it says *now* — which matters for anything living: people's roles, company facts, ongoing events, populations, "current CEO" questions. Wikipedia's REST API serves a clean summary per article over keyless HTTPS. The skill's discipline is attribution: the fetched extract is Wikipedia's voice, dated today; anything the model adds around it gets labeled as such.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The live extract** — Wikipedia's current summary paragraph(s) for the topic, quoted as the source
- **The link and metadata** — canonical URL, and the description line ("American computer scientist")
- **Disambiguation handling** — when the title is ambiguous, the options, not a guess
- **The command** — exact curl, rerunnable
