CRATE is a local-first toolchain: raw/ holds sources; wiki/ holds compiled Markdown; meta/ holds fingerprints, embeddings DB, and JSON indexes. The CLI is crate (see repo docs/usage.md).
AGENTS.md at vault root (if present): project-specific rules.docs/usage.md in the crate repo: full command reference.docs/providers.md: multi-vendor LLM + embedding (CRATE_LLM_PROVIDER, OpenAI-compatible APIs).meta/wiki_index.json: multi-page wiki graph from crate compile --wiki-graph.meta/wiki_body_graph.json: prose link graph from crate wiki graph.meta/raw_wiki_coverage.json: optional; from crate report raw-wiki --write.crate wiki-check --apply only merges whitelist fields on concept pages (related_slugs / conflicts_with_slugs per server implementation); never treat model output as permission to erase bodies.crate wiki promote to move a vetted answer from wiki/outputs/ into wiki/concepts/.| Goal | Command |

| Compile raw → wiki note or multi-page wiki | crate compile / crate compile --wiki-graph |
Watch raw/ | crate watch (optional --native with watchdog) |
| Q&A | crate ask / crate ask-multi |
| Deterministic link checks | crate lint (add --wikilinks, --orphans, --strict-concepts as needed) |
| Prose link graph JSON | crate wiki graph (--md for wiki/_index/BODYGRAPH.md) |
| Raw coverage report | crate report raw-wiki (--write for JSON under meta/) |
| Session-scoped compile | List paths in .crate/ingest_session.md then crate ingest |
| Extended notes index | crate wiki index-extend → meta/wiki_index_extended.json |
| Semantic wiki audit | crate wiki-check (optional --apply-dry-run / --apply) |
| HTTP URL check (opt-in) | crate lint --http-external (set SKIP_HTTP_LINT=1 to skip) |
