| description | LLM-powered personal wiki knowledge base system. Use this when user wants to build and maintain a persistent wiki using LLMs following the LLM Wiki pattern (karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f). This system implements: wiki initialization (two-layer architecture - wiki content and schema), source ingestion with cross-reference maintenance, querying with synthesis and citations, health checking (lint), and schema management. Source files are stored externally (e.g., in project's raw/ folder), not copied into the wiki. Perfect for: personal knowledge management, research wikis, reading companions, team knowledge bases. Triggers on: wiki knowledge base, LLM wiki, personal wiki, build wiki, knowledge management, or any mention of organizing accumulated knowledge with an LLM.

Wiki Knowledge Base - Master Skill
This is a comprehensive system for building and maintaining a personal wiki knowledge base using LLMs.
What This System Does
The LLM Wiki pattern differs from traditional RAG:
- RAG: LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, rediscovering knowledge from scratch
- Wiki: LLM incrementally builds and maintains a persistent wiki with cross-references already in place
Core Operations
This system provides 5 skills for wiki management:
1. wiki-init
Initialize a new wiki with:
- Two-layer architecture (wiki content, schema)
- Directory structure for entities, concepts, sources, syntheses
- Initial index.md and log.md
- CLAUDE.md schema with conventions
Note: Source files should be stored externally (e.g., in project's raw/ folder) - the wiki stores summaries and analysis, not copies of source documents.
Trigger: User wants to set up a new wiki
2. wiki-ingest
Process new sources:
- Read and analyze source documents
- Create source summary pages
- Update entity and concept pages
- Flag contradictions with existing claims
- Update index.md and log.md
Trigger: User adds a new source or wants to process a document
3. wiki-query
Answer questions against the wiki:
- Search index.md first
- Read relevant pages
- Synthesize answers with citations
- Support multiple output formats (markdown, tables, slides)
- File valuable answers back to wiki
Trigger: User asks questions about wiki content
4. wiki-lint
Health check the wiki:
- Find contradictions between pages
- Identify stale claims superseded by new sources
- Find orphan pages with no inbound links
- Detect missing pages for important concepts
- Identify missing cross-references
- Suggest data gaps to fill
Trigger: User wants to maintain or clean up the wiki
5. wiki-maintain
Manage wiki schema:
- Update CLAUDE.md conventions
- Modify page templates
- Refine workflows
- Add new page types
Trigger: User wants to update wiki rules or structure
Usage
Select the appropriate sub-skill based on the operation:
- New wiki? → wiki-init
- Adding content? → wiki-ingest
- Asking questions? → wiki-query
- Checking quality? → wiki-lint
- Updating rules? → wiki-maintain
Directory Structure
When initialized, the wiki follows this structure:
wiki/
├── entities/ # Entity pages
├── concepts/ # Concept pages
├── sources/ # Source summaries
├── syntheses/ # Cross-source syntheses
├── comparisons/ # Comparison analyses
├── overviews/ # Overview pages
├── schema/CLAUDE.md # Wiki conventions
├── index.md # Content catalog
└── log.md # Operation log
# Source files should be stored in the project root's raw/ folder (or similar external location)
Key Concepts
- index.md: Content-oriented catalog, updated on every ingest
- log.md: Chronological record with format
## [YYYY-MM-DD] operation | Title
- CLAUDE.md: Schema defining conventions and workflows
- Cross-references: Always use [[wiki/page]] link format
