llm-wiki Skill | Agent Skills

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

Reference

Full pattern: ./references/LLM-WIKI.md.
