LLM Wiki Skill

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases where the LLM incrementally builds and maintains a persistent wiki — a structured, interlinked collection of markdown files — rather than re-deriving answers from raw sources on every query.

The wiki is a persistent, compounding artifact. Cross-references are already there. Contradictions have already been flagged. The synthesis already reflects everything ingested. The wiki keeps getting richer with every source added and every question asked.

Architecture

Three layers:

wiki-root/
├── raw/              # Immutable source documents (articles, papers, notes, data)
│   └── assets/       # Downloaded images and attachments
├── wiki/             # LLM-maintained markdown pages (the knowledge base)
│   ├── index.md      # Content catalog organized by category
│   └── log.md        # Append-only chronological record
└── SCHEMA.md         # Wiki conventions, structure rules, domain config
