Published contract: monowiki 0.2.1, OpenCLIs build
2026-04-12-113757. The installed-state row, immutable payload, public CDN
pointer, and CDN release metadata agree on this identity. The exact installed
payload was also code-signature verified on macOS.
Quick Start
--no-index to inspect an
article before adding it to the shared corpus.
Published Command Surface
The current public build has 3 operational root commands plus help and version aliases.
There is no direct citation verifier, revision-history reader, edit command, or
MCP schema. MonoWiki captures the current article response seen by the client.
Parser and Option Ordering
MonoWiki uses a hand-written dispatcher. The title or query is built from every token before the first token beginning with--. Put options after the
title/query:
--lang <code> and
--no-index in the documented order.
Repository HEAD contains a
docs [topic] dispatcher for a future build. The
immutable 0.2.1 / 2026-04-12-113757 payload rejects docs with a non-zero
exit, so it is not part of the current public contract.Network and Article Identity
search uses the selected edition’s MediaWiki action API with a fixed limit of
10. Search snippets pass through a simple tag stripper. fetch uses
https://<lang>.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/<title> with a required
MonoWiki User-Agent and a 30-second timeout.
The implementation changes spaces to underscores when forming the article
path. It follows normal HTTP redirects, derives the displayed/stored title
from the first Markdown H1 when available, but constructs the stored URL from
the requested language and title rather than the final response URL.
Consequently, two aliases that resolve to the same article can remain separate
Monomento documents.
Index replacement compares content at that stored URL. An unchanged fetch is
skipped; changed content replaces it. There is no revision ID, ETag cache,
rate limiter, or retry/backoff state in MonoWiki.
Language and Evidence Boundary
--lang <code> selects the Wikipedia host directly. The default is en; an
invalid or unavailable edition fails at the HTTP layer. Articles in two
language editions are independent sources, not assumed literal translations.
Wikipedia is useful for orientation, terminology, and finding citations. It is
not proof of a software release, current runtime, or repository state. Preserve
the article identity, then follow primary citations or compare the claim with
code, runtime, release metadata, and official documentation.
Read and Write Boundaries
Monomento resolves the database through
MONOMENTO_HOME, the current
~/.monolex/monomento.db, and then the legacy Monolex application-support
path. Use Monomento for cross-source search and section reads.
Published Platforms
These six platform entries come from the immutable CDN release metadata.
