What is llm-wiki CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for an LLM-maintained wiki, a persistent set of linked markdown knowledge pages built from source documents. They describe the project structure, page conventions, architecture, and quality rules.

Working on the wiki’s raw sources, generated pages, index, logs, domain lenses, and documentation workflows.

They give a coding agent the context and standards needed to add, update, and navigate wiki content consistently.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.04678	$0.04678
Opus 5.5	$0.01871	$0.01871
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00936	$0.00936
Haiku 4.5	$0.00468	$0.00468

Security

Grade C, and why

llm-wiki CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

**Always reset wiki state before running tests** — tests expect a clean slate. Run `rm -rf wiki/ .llm-wiki/ .wiki-snapshot/ extracts/` before every test run. After the test run completes, reset again. Show progress with

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project overview

This is an LLM-maintained wiki — a personal knowledge base where the LLM incrementally builds and maintains a persistent, interlinked collection of markdown files from raw source documents. The default domain is writing craft — techniques, principles, frameworks, and practitioners related to the art and craft of writing. Additional domains can be added via lenses (see Lenses section). See @llm-wiki.md for the full pattern description.

Architecture

Three layers:

raw/ — immutable source documents (articles, papers, notes, images, course transcripts). Never modify these.
wiki/ — LLM-generated markdown pages (summaries, entity pages, concept pages, technique pages, comparisons, synthesis). The LLM owns this layer entirely.
CLAUDE.md — this file. The schema that governs wiki conventions and workflows.

Special files in wiki/ root:

wiki/index.md — content catalog. Every wiki page listed with link, one-line summary, and category. Organized hierarchically. Read this first when answering queries. Update on every ingest.
wiki/log.md — chronological append-only record. Each entry: ## [YYYY-MM-DD] operation | Title. Update on every ingest, query-that-creates-a-page, and lint pass.
wiki/overview.md — high-level synthesis page (type: synthesis). The wiki's map: what topics it covers, how foundational concepts relate, emerging themes, open questions. Auto-updated on every ingest. Keep short (1-2 screens) — point to deeper pages, don't duplicate them.

Subdirectories in wiki/ (organized by page type):

wiki/concepts/ — concept pages (abstract ideas, principles, frameworks)
wiki/techniques/ — technique pages (actionable methods with steps)
wiki/entities/ — entity pages (people, books, publications, organizations)
wiki/synthesis/ — synthesis, comparison, and query-answer pages

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

llm-wiki CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tom5610/llm-wiki (3 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 4,678 tokens to every session, about $0.0187 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
