Query an LLM Wiki
Answer from the maintained wiki, then capture only durable synthesis that makes
future queries more useful.
Workflow
- Find the vault and read
wiki-purpose.md; confirm that the question falls
within its intended scope. Read wiki-schema.md for local conventions.
- Search with
llm-wiki search "<question>". Use --bm25-only only when
vector search is unavailable or inappropriate. Scan wiki/ for exact terms
if needed.
- Read the matched pages and follow relevant
[[wikilinks]] and ## Related
sections. Use the graph as context rather than treating search ranking as
the answer.
- Give a direct answer grounded in the pages. Cite pages as
[[slug]], state
uncertainty, distinguish evidence from inference, and surface conflicts or
gaps instead of guessing.
- If the wiki lacks enough evidence, say so and suggest specific material to
ingest. Do not fill gaps from unsaved external knowledge.
When knowledge should compound
Write back only a non-trivial, high-confidence synthesis: for example, a new
connection among at least three pages, a resolved contradiction, or a useful
comparison absent from all source pages. Do not create a page for a simple
lookup or speculative conclusion.
For a durable synthesis, create a focused wiki page with complete frontmatter:
---
title: Synthesis Title
description: One-line summary
tags: [synthesis]
sources: [contributing-page-slugs]
source_type: query-synthesis
created: YYYY-MM-DD
updated: YYYY-MM-DD
---
Link it to the contributing pages, append a query entry to wiki-log.md,
and run llm-wiki sync. Do not modify anything under sources/.
