Settings reference

Open Settings from the navigation. Everything is also written to a plain config.toml you can edit by hand.

Wikis

Wikis root — the folder that holds all your wikis. Changing it requires restarting Wikai.
Default wiki — optionally jump straight to one wiki on launch instead of the picker. Manage wikis and + Create new live here too.

Claude Code agent

Status of your Claude Code install (path, version) with a Re-detect button and a Use a different binary override. Reminder to run claude /login once in a terminal. See The chat sidebar.

Anthropic API (fallback)

Paste an API key and Test & save, then pick a model. Note: in this version the key is stored in plain text in your config.toml (a move to the OS keychain is planned).

Lint thresholds

Stale-after days — how old the gap between edit and updated may be before a page is flagged (default 30).
Minimum cross-reference length — shortest title/alias match to flag (default 4 characters).

Open by default — whether the sidebar opens automatically.
Default backend — which agent a new chat starts with.

Daily note enrichment

How the agent handles your captures — classifying them, suggesting links, tidying shorthand:

Automatic — new captures are read as they land.
Manual — only when you click Enrich now in the Today view.
Off.

Automatic is unavailable on the Anthropic API backend, which is metered; use Manual there. Either way, enrichment only runs while you have the day’s note open, and nothing is written to your wiki without a click.
