# agentprivacy-wiki-dsl

**Fedwiki DSL Skill** captures the line-oriented DSL convention for Federated Wiki plugin item text: the **UPPERCASE first word is a command**, lowercase is data, with an optional YAML-style colon. It lives at `~/.claude/skills/fedwiki-dsl/`. Read it before writing a plugin's text parser.

When authoring or reviewing a plugin that parses its item `text`, when deciding how a plugin item should read, or on *"wiki DSL"*, *"plugin markup"*, *"command keywords"*, *"capitalised command"*, or *"optional colon"*.

Parse the item `text` **line by line**; the **first word** classifies the line:

- **UPPERCASE ⇒ a command / directive** — the keyword names an action or field; the rest of the line is its space-separated arguments. Stock examples: `frame` (`HEIGHT 400`, `SOURCE topic`), `method` (`CALC`, `AVERAGE`, `LOOKUP`), `map` (`LOCATE`, `OVERLAY`), `reduce` (`FOLD`, `SLIDE`).
- **lowercase (or non-keyword) ⇒ literal data / content / value** — passed through, not interpreted.

So capitalisation carries meaning: a command is shouted in CAPS, data is quiet. Document a plugin's commands in CAPS on its about page.

## The optional colon (YAML-style)

A single **trailing colon on the keyword is optional and equivalent**: `HEIGHT 400` ≡ `HEIGHT: 400`. Strip one trailing colon before matching; never require it. Match by the UPPERCASE form (be forgiving of input case, but treat UPPERCASE as canonical in every example and default), keep a single command table as the source of truth, and reserve the post-keyword arguments for parameters even when a command takes none today. `wiki-plugin-family` (`SISTERS`, `PARENT`, `CHILDREN`, `FARM`, `NEIGHBOURHOOD`, `SNAPSHOT`) is a worked example.
