# Outline Wiki Skill

Search, read, create, and manage documents in any Outline wiki instance. Works with all AI clients supporting the Agent Skills Standard.

## Requirements

- Python 3.8+
- Dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt`

## Setup

1. Get your API key from your Outline wiki:
   - Go to **Settings > API Tokens**
   - Create a new token with appropriate permissions

2. Configure the environment:
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your API key
   ```

3. Set the environment variables:
   ```bash
   export OUTLINE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
   # Optional: for self-hosted instances
   export OUTLINE_API_URL=https://your-wiki.example.com/api
   ```

## Usage

### Search documents
```bash
python3 scripts/outline.py search "deployment guide"
python3 scripts/outline.py search "API documentation" --limit 10
python3 scripts/outline.py search "onboarding" --collection-id <id>
