crux-wiki

crux-wiki is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mehdiforoozandeh/crux. It costs 219 tokens per session (3,121 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A literature wiki workflow for a crux research vault. It turns curated research sources into a linked collection covering background, methods, leading approaches, comparison methods, datasets, and definitions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Compiling material from the vault's raw sources into wiki notes that inform research questions, hypotheses, and interpretation of results.
Why use it?
It keeps existing knowledge separate from the new questions and hypotheses created during research. This means the source material can be reused instead of being re-analysed from scratch each time.

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

crux-wiki 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 12d 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.

crux-wiki — a literature wiki for a crux vault

This skill adds a literature layer to a crux research vault: a living, interlinked knowledge base of prior knowledge — background, methods, SOTA, baselines, datasets, definitions — that you maintain and draw on. It is [Andrej Karpathy's LLM-wiki pattern] (compile curated sources once into a persistent wiki; keep it current; don't re-derive on every query) instantiated on crux, so crux's deterministic engine does the bookkeeping the pattern needs.

It rides on the crux skill and its engine (<crux skill>/scaffold/ — the crux skill is this skill's sibling directory in your skills dir; in a repo clone, skills/crux). If the engine is missing, install the crux skill first (npx skills add mehdiforoozandeh/crux --all, or the repo's ./install.sh). crux tracks the new knowledge you're producing (the Question→Hypothesis tree); crux-wiki tracks the existing knowledge you're building on. They are cross-linked but separate.

The one-way flow rule (hard, load-bearing)

literature (raw/) → wiki/ → informs  ask · hypothesize · interpreting findings

Never the reverse. The wiki is a literature source-of-truth. A crux project's own results — verdicts, findings, closed hypotheses — never flow into the wiki. Wiki pages may link out to nothing but other wiki pages and their raw/ sources; they must never cite a q*/h* tree node. This keeps provenance clean (every wiki claim traces to a curated source, never to your own unpublished result) and structurally prevents the self-ingestion / model-collapse failure mode that degrades agent-maintained wikis.

The reverse direction is allowed and encouraged: a tree node (a question or hypothesis) may cite [[wiki/page]] to ground itself in the literature.

The three layers

  • raw/ — the PI's curated sources: papers, articles, notes, data files. Immutable. You read them; you never modify them. This is the source of truth. Only the PI decides what enters raw/ — that curation is the human's job in this pattern.
  • wiki/ — the compiled pages, owned by you. Concept-slug markdown files (film-conditioning.md), plus the append-only wiki/log.md and the co-evolved wiki/SCHEMA.md. You create pages, update them as sources arrive, and maintain the links.
  • wiki/SCHEMA.md — this vault's conventions (which categories it uses, page style, domain quirks). Seeded on first ingest; you and the PI co-evolve it. Read it at the start of a wiki session so you stay a disciplined maintainer, not a generic chatbot.

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.

crux-wiki is a skill published in the GitHub repository mehdiforoozandeh/crux (6 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 219 tokens to every session and 3,121 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 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.
