About this skill

LLM Wiki

Build and maintain a persistent, compounding knowledge wiki from raw sources.

Based on Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern: the LLM incrementally integrates each new source into a structured wiki of markdown files — updating entity pages, flagging contradictions, strengthening cross-references. Synthesis is compiled once and kept current, not re-derived on every query.

Usage

/llm-wiki <ACTION> [ARGUMENTS]

Actions

  • init [DIRECTORY] - Initialize a new wiki (default: wiki/)
  • ingest - Process a source file and integrate it into the wiki
  • query - Answer a question using the wiki as the knowledge base
  • lint - Health-check the wiki for contradictions, orphan pages, and stale content
  • status - Show a summary of the wiki's current state

Architecture

your-wiki/
├── raw/           # Immutable source documents — you add, LLM never modifies
│   └── assets/    # Downloaded images referenced by sources
├── wiki/          # LLM-generated and maintained pages
│   ├── index.md   # Catalog of all pages with one-line summaries
│   ├── log.md     # Append-only record of all operations
│   ├── overview.md
│   ├── entities/  # People, places, organizations
│   ├── concepts/  # Ideas, topics, themes
│   └── sources/   # One summary page per source
└── CLAUDE.md      # Schema: wiki conventions and per-operation workflows

Templates for all three layers are in $SKILL_PATH/templates/.

For "init [DIRECTORY]":

  1. Create the directory structure: raw/, wiki/, wiki/entities/, wiki/concepts/, wiki/sources/
  2. Copy $SKILL_PATH/templates/schema.md to CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md)
  3. Create wiki/index.md from $SKILL_PATH/templates/index.md
  4. Create wiki/log.md from $SKILL_PATH/templates/log.md
  5. Create a starter wiki/overview.md stating the wiki's domain and purpose
  6. Tell the user to add sources to raw/ and run /llm-wiki ingest <file> next

Done when: all five files and directories exist and the user has been told the next step.

For "ingest ":

  1. Read the source file; share key takeaways and ask the user what to emphasize
  2. Create wiki/sources/<slug>.md with a structured summary
  3. Update wiki/overview.md if the source shifts the big picture
  4. Create or update entity pages in wiki/entities/ for key people, places, organizations
  5. Create or update concept pages in wiki/concepts/ for key ideas and themes
  6. Add a contradiction note on any existing page where this source conflicts with current content
  7. Update wiki/index.md — every new or modified page must appear with a one-line summary
  8. Append to wiki/log.md: ## [YYYY-MM-DD] ingest | <Source Title>

Done when: every affected page is updated, every new or changed page appears in index.md, and the log entry is appended. A single ingest typically touches 5–15 pages.

For "query ":

  1. Read wiki/index.md to identify the most relevant pages
  2. Read those pages in full
  3. Synthesize an answer with citations to specific wiki pages
  4. If the answer is a valuable synthesis (comparison, analysis, discovered connection), offer to file it as a new wiki page; if filed, update wiki/index.md and append to wiki/log.md

Done when: the question is answered with citations, and any filing decision (page created or skipped) is resolved.

For "lint":

Scan the entire wiki and report on each of the following:

  • Contradictions — conflicting claims across pages
  • Stale content — pages superseded by newer ingested material
  • Orphan pages — pages with no inbound links
  • Missing pages — concepts mentioned on multiple pages but lacking their own page
  • Broken links — [[Page Name]] links pointing to non-existent pages
  • Data gaps — areas a targeted source or web search could fill

Suggest new questions and sources. Ask before making any fixes.

Append to wiki/log.md: ## [YYYY-MM-DD] lint | health check

Done when: all six issue types are checked and reported, suggestions are given, and the log entry is appended.

For "status":

Report: source count in raw/, wiki page count, last 10 entries in wiki/log.md, and any obvious health issues (orphan pages, missing index entries).

Done when: all four items are reported.

Index and log

wiki/index.md — content catalog, updated on every ingest. Every page with a link and one-line summary, organized by category. The LLM reads this first when answering queries.

wiki/log.md — append-only operation log. Entry format: ## [YYYY-MM-DD] <operation> | <title>. Grep-parseable:

grep "^## \[" wiki/log.md | tail -5          # last 5 operations
grep "^## \[.*\] ingest" wiki/log.md          # all ingests
grep "^## \[.*\] query" wiki/log.md           # all queries

Optional: qmd search

For larger wikis, add qmd — local hybrid BM25/vector search with an MCP server:

bun install -g @tobilu/qmd
qmd collection add ./wiki --name my-wiki
qmd embed
qmd query "how does X relate to Y" -c my-wiki

Tips

  • Obsidian Web Clipper converts web articles to markdown — fast source collection for raw/.
  • File good answers: valuable query results (comparisons, analyses, new connections) should become wiki pages — explorations compound the knowledge base just like ingested sources do.
  • Ingest one source at a time — read the summaries, check the updates, guide emphasis. You get more value staying in the loop than batch-ingesting unattended.
  • The wiki is a git repo of markdown files — version history and collaboration come free.
