LLM Wiki

A personal knowledge base in plain markdown. Sources land in raw/ (immutable); you compile them into wiki/ articles you own. Local markdown with YAML frontmatter, readable on GitHub, openable as an Obsidian vault. No servers, no databases, no embeddings.

Core idea (Karpathy): the LLM writes and maintains the wiki; the human chooses sources and asks questions. Knowledge is compiled once at ingest.

Invocation

Query is the default. Ingest, Lint, Audit and Critique are the four deliberate operations, each opted into by its verb or by a request that plainly calls for it. Anything else is a Query against the wiki: a bare question, "what do I know about X", "summarise everything on Y". No query keyword needed.

A leading mode argument routes straight to that operation:

• ingest (alias add) - trailing text is the source: a URL, a path, or pasted content.
• lint - health checks; no further input.
• audit - trailing text names the article or topic to verify.
• critique (alias scrutinise) - trailing text names the article, topic, or pasted content to examine.
• query (alias ask) - forces query handling when a question could look like another operation.

Otherwise route natural language to Ingest, Lint, Audit or Critique only when it clearly calls for one; answer everything else as a Query.

Always required, and scenario-gated

Every operation, always:

• Act only on the user's request; never background-write.
• Compile any write from a source already in raw/, never straight from a live URL or an external path.
• Update wiki/index.md and append wiki/log.md on any write.
• Bump an article's updated whenever its content changes.
• Replace outdated knowledge by superseding it, never by deleting or editing in place.

Everything else is scenario-gated. Match your task against a branch below and read that file before acting - a pointer is an instruction to open the file, not a citation. When unsure, read it: cheaper than corrupting the wiki by guessing.
