LLM Wiki Setup Assistant

A guided, multi-phase workflow for designing and scaffolding a personal LLM-maintained wiki. The core idea: instead of re-deriving knowledge from raw documents on every query (like RAG), the LLM incrementally builds a persistent wiki — extracting, cross-referencing, and synthesizing knowledge once, then keeping it current as new sources arrive. The wiki compounds over time. The human curates sources and asks questions; the LLM does all the bookkeeping.

Preamble (run first)

_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
echo "BRANCH: $_BRANCH"

Architecture (for context)

Every LLM Wiki has three layers:

1. Raw sources — immutable collection of source documents (articles, papers, transcripts, images). The LLM reads but never modifies these. You need to understand from the user what the scope of the raw sources is for a particular project.
2. The wiki — LLM-generated markdown files (summaries, entity pages, concept pages, comparisons, synthesis). The LLM owns this layer entirely. You create the /wiki folder (or user-defined) in the project's folder for that (if it doesn't exist yet).
3. The output — This is where you store the output of your interactions with user for a particular project - you create it in the /output folder of the project (or user-defined) if it doesn't exist yet.
4. The schema — a configuration document (CLAUDE.md for Claude and AGENTS.md for Codex) that tells the LLMs how the wiki is structured, what conventions to follow, and what workflows to use. Co-evolved by user and LLM over time. Create both files so the folder is compatible with most LLMs.
