description	Use when initializing a new personal knowledge base (wiki) from the LLM Wiki pattern — a structured markdown repo where the LLM incrementally builds and maintains interlinked pages between raw sources and a persistent wiki layer
disable-model-invocation	true

Initialize a personal knowledge base using the LLM Wiki pattern: the LLM reads raw sources, builds a persistent wiki of summaries/entities/concepts/analyses, and keeps it current. You curate sources; the LLM does the bookkeeping.

Core principle: The wiki is a compounding artifact — cross-references, contradictions, and synthesis are already done. No embedding-based RAG needed.

Quick Reference

Path	Owner	Purpose
raw/	Human	Immutable source docs
wiki/	LLM	Generated pages
AGENTS.md	Human + LLM	Schema + runbook
wiki/index.md	LLM	Content catalog
wiki/log.md	LLM	Activity log
wiki/overview.md	LLM	Evolving synthesis

Initialization

When asked to initialize a wiki, create this structure:

.
├── AGENTS.md              # Schema + agent runbook (co-evolved)
├── raw/                   # Immutable sources (human-only writes)
│   ├── specs/             # Technical docs, architecture
│   ├── papers/            # Research papers, whitepapers
│   ├── vendor/            # Vendor docs, product pages
│   └── assets/            # Downloaded images/diagrams
└── wiki/                  # LLM-generated (LLM writes)
    ├── index.md           # Master content index
    ├── log.md             # Append-only activity log
    ├── overview.md        # High-level synthesis
    ├── summaries/         # One file per ingested source
    ├── entities/          # Systems, vendors, standards, tools
    ├── concepts/          # Technical concepts, patterns, principles
    └── analyses/          # Comparisons, syntheses, deep dives

AGENTS.md

Create with: directory structure + ownership rules, page templates, workflows, conventions, domain considerations. This file turns the LLM from a chatbot into a disciplined wiki maintainer.

wiki/index.md

Content catalog organized by category. Each entry: link, one-line description, optional metadata.

wiki/log.md

Append-only: ## [{date}] {action} | {title}. Actions: ingest, query, lint, update, create.

Page Templates

Type	For	Key fields
Entity	Systems, vendors, standards, tools	type, status, overview, key facts, relevance, related, sources
Concept	Patterns, principles, techniques	category, definition, why it matters, how it works, trade-offs, examples, related, sources
Summary	One per ingested source	source path, type, ingested date, TL;DR, key takeaways, detailed notes, questions raised, connections
Analysis	Comparisons, syntheses, decision matrices	type, dates, question, methodology, findings, recommendations, confidence level, sources

Workflows

Workflow	Steps
Ingest	Read source → discuss takeaways → create summary → update/create entity + concept pages → cross-reference → update index + overview → log
Query	Read index.md → read relevant wiki pages (not raw) → synthesize with citations → consider filing as analysis → log
Lint	Check orphans, stale claims, contradictions, missing pages, missing cross-refs, data gaps

Conventions

• File naming: lowercase, hyphen-separated (foobar-standard.md)
• Links: relative markdown — [FOOBAR](../entities/foobar-standard.md)
• Dates: ISO 8601 (2026-04-14)
• Citations: every claim traces to a source summary
