Wikilinks Stay, and Your Config Says So
OKF never required a link style. Wikilinks stay the default, and context-v/config.md now declares the syntax a repo uses.

Why Care?
Yesterday's entry suggested OKF might want standard markdown links instead of
[[wikilinks]]
. It doesn't: OKF conformance is frontmatter and a
type
, nothing about links. The suggestion came from one demo tool that only follows markdown links. So wikilinks stay, and a repo can now say exactly which link syntax it uses.
What's New?
-
A
links:section incontext-v/config.md(the starter) declares the link style new docs use (wikilinkby default, ormarkdown), the wikilink forms allowed ([[Name]],[[Name|label]],[[folder/Name]],[[Name#heading]]), and how[[Name]]resolves: by filename anywhere incontext-v/. -
The skill follows it: agents link in the declared style, or match the surrounding docs when there's no config.
-
The OKF decision's links question is settled: wikilinks stay. OKF's demo visualizer missing them is a limitation of that tool, and a 31-line patch fixes it. The patch isn't part of the kit.
Update, same day: path and alias.
The declared default is now Obsidian's full form,
[[specs/Payment-Retry-Policy.md|Payment Retry Policy]]
: the file's path, a pipe, and an alias that shows clean text while the filename stays space-free for tools. Links resolve by path first, then by filename. On the site, a wikilink without an alias now shows its filename with
-
and
_
as spaces.
