agent-wiki: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agent-wiki CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from xccElephant/agent-wiki. It costs 736 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of agent-wiki AGENTS.md, MIT.

A set of instructions for maintaining a source-based wiki with a coding agent. It explains where raw sources, notes, entities, concepts, analyses, and activity logs belong.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding sources, creating linked research notes, updating wiki pages, or recording changes in the agent-wiki repository.
Why use it?
It keeps original source material separate from interpretations and makes the wiki easier for agents and people to navigate consistently.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is xccElephant/agent-wiki's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-wiki itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agent-wiki configures →

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-wiki CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to agent-wiki AGENTS.md — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

LLM Wiki Agent Guide

This repository is a template for a persistent, LLM-maintained wiki built on top of raw sources.

This file mirrors the core guidance in AGENTS.md so the template works well with Claude Code in addition to Cursor and Codex-style agents.

Directory Roles

  • raw/ is the immutable source layer.
  • raw/articles/ stores original article notes, clips, and imported markdown sources.
  • raw/assets/ stores local images and attachments.
  • wiki/source-notes/ stores one derived note per source.
  • wiki/entities/ stores concrete entities such as people, orgs, products, tools, papers, and datasets.
  • wiki/concepts/ stores methods, definitions, and recurring ideas.
  • wiki/synthesis/ stores comparisons, theses, timelines, and multi-source analyses.
  • wiki/index.md is the main navigation page.
  • logs/log.md is the append-only operational record.
  • schemas/ stores structural guidance and workflow docs.

Core Rules

  • Treat files in raw/ as source snapshots. Do not silently rewrite them to fix conclusions.
  • Put interpretation, corrections, and synthesis in wiki/.
  • Read wiki/index.md, logs/log.md, and relevant wiki pages before diving into raw sources.
  • Use [[wikilinks]] for internal vault references and Markdown links only for external URLs.
  • For important claims, point to the relevant wiki/source-notes/ page and, when useful, the underlying raw source.

Claim Types

Separate these categories whenever possible:

  • Fact: directly supported by a source.
  • Inference: synthesis or interpretation drawn from sources.
  • Dispute: conflicting claims or unresolved contradictions.
  • Open Question: gaps, next steps, or hypotheses that still need validation.

Ingest Workflow

  1. Determine which sources to ingest.
  2. If the user explicitly names source files, use those files only.
  3. Otherwise, discover candidate sources in raw/articles/ or raw/assets/ and decide which ones are new or need updating.
  4. Match each selected source against existing notes in wiki/source-notes/.
  5. Treat a source as already ingested when a corresponding source note clearly points back to the raw file, ideally through raw_path or an equivalent explicit reference.
  6. Prefer updating an existing source note instead of creating a duplicate when the mapping is clear.
  7. Create or update the matching note in wiki/source-notes/.
  8. Extract summary, key claims, notable evidence, related entities, related concepts, disputes, and open questions.
  9. Update affected pages in wiki/entities/, wiki/concepts/, and wiki/synthesis/.
  10. Refresh wiki/index.md when new durable pages are added.
  11. Append an entry to logs/log.md.
  12. When multiple or auto-discovered sources were processed, append a concise batch summary and run a light lint pass on the touched wiki pages.

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.
