A skill that creates the initial folder structure for a Karpathy-style LLM wiki, with separate raw sources and curated notes. It also creates starter index, log, and instruction files.

Use it when starting a project wiki that will collect sources and turn them into structured notes through later ingestion and editing.

It gives a new wiki a consistent place for original material, organized knowledge, and ongoing records.

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	$0.00232	$0.00947
Opus 5.5	$0.00093	$0.00379
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00046	$0.00189
Haiku 4.5	$0.00023	$0.00095

Security

Grade A, and why

wiki-init 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

wiki-init

Scaffold a Karpathy-style LLM wiki so the user can start ingesting sources immediately. The pattern is described in https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f — this skill produces the minimal scaffold it implies.

What you create

<project>/
  raw/             # immutable source archive (sibling, outside MCP's view)
  wiki/            # THIS folder is what --wiki-root points at
    CLAUDE.md      # the schema, co-evolved with the user
    index.md       # catalog, organized by category
    log.md         # append-only chronological record
    pages/         # LLM-authored pages live here

raw/ is a project-level sibling of wiki/ — MCP never touches it, but wiki-ingest reads from it via host Read when processing a new source. wiki/ is owned entirely by the LLM; wiki/CLAUDE.md is the only file the user regularly edits. MCP's --wiki-root points at <project>/wiki/, NOT at <project>/.

Intake

Ask the user three things, in order:

Path — where to create the wiki. Default ./wiki-root. This is the <project> path; suggest ~/wikis/<topic> if the user keeps multiple wikis.
Topic — one sentence describing what this wiki is about.
Primary language — the language wiki pages will be written in (default: English).

If <project>/wiki/CLAUDE.md already exists, stop and tell the user the wiki exists. Do not overwrite.

Scaffold

This skill does not require the llm-wiki-mcp server to be running — it creates the directory the server will later point at. Use the standard Write and Bash tools.

Create <project>/raw/ and <project>/wiki/pages/.
Write <project>/wiki/CLAUDE.md from templates/CLAUDE.md.template, substituting {{TOPIC}} and {{LANGUAGE}}.
Write <project>/wiki/index.md from templates/index.md.template, substituting {{TOPIC}}.
Write <project>/wiki/log.md from templates/log.md.template, substituting {{DATE}} (today, YYYY-MM-DD) and {{TOPIC}}.
Print the contents of templates/mcp-wiring.md with {{ABSOLUTE_PATH}} substituted to the absolute path of <project>/wiki (NOT <project>).
Tell the user the wiki is ready and suggest they restart their MCP client, then say ingest <first-source> to trigger wiki-ingest.

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.

wiki-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository flsteven87/llm-wiki-mcp (2 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 232 tokens to every session and 947 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
