I'm pondering a new use case for the software. And then a thought like a bolt of lightning illuminating a dark room: my thought patterns and ideas have been forming around this use case for a decade or more.
I am shaping the tool in my image.

Same mistake here. In spite of hearing that warning.
But the longer-than-expected walk was still worth it!

wikipedia-mcp already exists [1] but I find the agentic CLI harnesses to be a lot more token-efficient over local content. Perhaps you could do both - run Wikipedia locally + local MCP server.

Hmmm... I wonder if it's even simpler. Just download wikipedia locally and start <insert your favorite agentic CLI harness> in the root directory.
Agentic search is probably good enough that it can find what you're looking for.

Seems that there are still a lot of technical and UX challenges with making software that's dynamically malleable.
