README

wiki-skills

A Claude Code plugin implementing [Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f) — a persistent, compounding knowledge base maintained by your LLM.

Instead of RAG (re-deriving answers from raw documents every time), this system builds and maintains a **wiki**: a structured, interlinked collection of markdown files that gets richer with every source you add and every question you ask.

Installation

/plugin marketplace add kfchou/wiki-skills
/plugin install wiki-skills@kfchou/wiki-skills

Skills

Skill	Description
`wiki-init`	Bootstrap a new wiki for any domain
`wiki-ingest`	Add a source (paper, URL, file, transcript) to the wiki
`wiki-query`	Ask a question against the wiki; optionally save the answer back
`wiki-lint`	Health audit: contradictions, orphans, broken links, coverage gaps
`wiki-update`	Revise existing pages when knowledge changes

How It Works

Three Layers

/
├── SCHEMA.md        # Conventions + wiki root path (how skills find the wiki)
├── raw/             # Immutable source documents (you manage)
├── wiki/
│   ├── index.md     # Content catalog — every page, one-line summary
│   ├── log.md       # Append-only operation log
│   ├── overview.md  # Evolving synthesis of everything known
│   └── pages/       # All wiki pages, flat, slug-named
└── assets/          # Images, PDFs, attachments

Typical Workflow

wiki-init          → bootstrap a new wiki
wiki-ingest        → add sources one at a time (repeat)
wiki-query         → ask questions; save good answers back as pages
wiki-lint          → periodic health check (every 5-10 ingests)
wiki-update        → revise pages when knowledge changes

Key Behaviors

wiki-ingest surfaces key takeaways and asks what to emphasize before writing anything. After creating a source page, it runs a backlink audit — scanning existing pages to add bidirectional links.
wiki-query always reads the wiki (never answers from memory). Always offers to file the answer back as a new page with [[citations]].
wiki-lint writes a severity-tiered report (🔴 errors / 🟡 warnings / 🔵 info) to wiki/pages/lint-.md, offers concrete fixes, and logs unconditionally.
wiki-update always shows diffs before writing, always cites the source of new information, sweeps all pages for the same stale claim, and logs unconditionally.
