knowledge-map

A set of instructions for maintaining a project’s documentation wiki. The wiki is a collection of linked pages describing data structures, modules, optimizations, and research papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing data structures, modules, performance optimizations, SIMD code paths, or paper references, or when asked to update the knowledge map.
Why use it?
It tells the agent which documentation pages and links to update when the codebase changes, helping the wiki stay aligned with the implementation.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

knowledge-map 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 2d 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knowledge Map Maintenance

The knowledge wiki lives in docs/ with docs/index.md as the entry point. Each core concept has its own page. When the codebase changes in ways that affect the wiki, update the relevant pages.

Page Structure

Every concept page follows this structure:

  1. Breadcrumb: [Home](../../) > [Docs](../) > [Category](./) > PageName
  2. What It Does — one-paragraph summary
  3. How It Works — key algorithms and data structures
  4. Depends On — links to wiki pages this concept uses
  5. Used By — links to wiki pages that use this concept
  6. Academic Papers — citations with links where available
  7. Source & Docs — links to implementation files and existing architecture/parsing docs

When to Update

New data structure or module

  1. Create the page in the appropriate subdirectory (e.g. docs/parsing/, docs/optimizations/, docs/reference/) following the page structure above
  2. Add a row to the Core Data Structures table in docs/index.md
  3. Update Depends On / Used By sections on related pages (keep these bidirectional)
  4. If the module has SIMD variants, add to docs/optimizations/simd-strategy.md

New optimization

  1. Add a row to the relevant concept page's optimization table (e.g. the Optimization Journey table in docs/parsing/yaml-index.md)
  2. If it involves a new SIMD technique, update docs/optimizations/simd-strategy.md

New academic paper reference

  1. Add to the Academic Foundations table in docs/index.md
  2. Add to the relevant concept page's Academic Papers section
  3. If the URL is on doi.org, it's already excluded from link checking (returns 403 to bots)

New SIMD path

  1. Update the Platform Support table in docs/optimizations/simd-strategy.md
  2. Update the Per-Module SIMD Usage section in docs/optimizations/simd-strategy.md
  3. Update the SIMD Platform Support table in docs/index.md if a new platform is added

Formatting Rules

  • Tables must use fixed-width columns with consistent padding (invoke the format-md-tables skill)
  • Use mermaid diagrams for flowcharts and dependency graphs, not ASCII art
  • Use relative markdown links (not wikilinks)

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.

knowledge-map is a skill published in the GitHub repository rust-works/succinctly (51 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 640 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
