Adds a compact read-only query protocol across Claude Code, Codex, Pi, DS4, OpenCode, and portable agents; reduces Claude /wiki:query instructions by 72.54%; adds explicit $wiki-query , read-only Pi launchers, static context budgets, corpus-identity gates, and reproducible Codex/Claude/DS4 benchmark lanes. OpenCode live-model behavior remains best effort. v0.15.0 — Topic guides. Reframes schema.md as a human-owned topic guide, adds the friendlier llm-wiki schema adopt helper, keeps schema migrate --apply as a compatibility alias, and updates librarian docs to talk about conventions proposals instead of database-style schema migrations. v0.14.0 — Default topic guides. Adds advisory schema.md by default, safe adoption helpers for older wikis, proposal-only librarian convention updates, deterministic docs/lint checks, and clarifies the optional index/server layer as a rebuildable non-authoritative cache. v0.12.0 — Feedback curator. Captures high-signal corrections, preferences, approvals, and plan acceptance as redacted feedback candidates under HUB/.sessions/feedback/ ; ignores generic acknowledgements; adds review/manual-capture/promotion workflows; and keeps promotion into topic raw/notes/ explicit. v0.11.1 — Session helper compatibility. Small hotfix so automated session capture works on Python 3.9/macOS system Python as well as newer Python runtimes. v0.11.0 — Automated session capture. Default-on redacted checkpoints under HUB/.sessions/ , opt-out via session disable , compact context rehydration, explicit digest promotion, and a tested Codex hook bundle. Claude Code native plugin : claude plugin install wiki@llm-wiki OpenAI Codex marketplace plugin : Install from GitHub: codex plugin marketplace add nvk/llm-wiki codex plugin add wiki@llm-wiki Start a new Codex thread, then use @wiki or type $ to select wiki-query Install from a local checkout with the managed bootstrap helper: ./scripts/bootstrap-codex-plugin.sh --scope user --verify Or register the local checkout manually: codex plugin marketplace add /absolute/path/to/llm-wiki codex plugin add wiki@llm-wiki Canonical explicit invocation: $wiki-query "What does the wiki say about hardware wallet threat models?" @wiki research "hardware wallet threat models" @wiki collect "bitcoin memes" --wiki memes-bitcoin @wiki ingest https://example.com/article @wiki audit --project coldcard-threat-model @wiki session status @wiki feedback list --unpromoted @wiki session disable optional opt-out @wiki ll "codex plugin install gotchas" Upgrade: codex plugin marketplace upgrade llm-wiki codex plugin add wiki@llm-wiki Remove: codex plugin remove wiki@llm-wiki codex plugin marketplace remove llm-wiki Troubleshooting: codex plugin marketplace add registers the catalog; codex plugin add wiki@llm-wiki installs and enables the cached plugin non-interactively.- Open /hooks to review and trust the bundled hooks if you want automated session capture. The @wiki skill works without hook trust. $wiki-query is the small, explicit, read-only skill for lookups. In Codex CLI/IDE, type $ or open /skills and select it. It never activates implicitly or changes wiki files. @wiki is the full research and maintenance entry point. Natural-language wiki requests can still auto-activate it.- Restart Codex after changing config if an existing session does not pick up the new plugin state. - If you run Codex under a sandbox wrapper like nono , see Nono Sandbox Permissions nono-sandbox-permissions — Codex needs r+w to $HOME/.codex for plugin install. OpenCode instruction file : Add to your opencode.json project-level or ~/.config/opencode/.opencode.json for global : { "instructions": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvk/llm-wiki/master/plugins/llm-wiki-opencode/skills/wiki-manager/SKILL.md" , "permission": { "external directory": { "~/.config/llm-wiki/ ": "allow", "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/wiki/ ": "allow" } } } OpenCode fetches the URL fresh on every session start — no manual updates needed. If you prefer a local copy instead: curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvk/llm-wiki/master/plugins/llm-wiki-opencode/skills/wiki-manager/SKILL.md ~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md For a smaller read-only setup, use the best-effort query preset instead: { "instructions": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvk/llm-wiki/master/plugins/llm-wiki-opencode/skills/wiki-query/SKILL.md" } The OpenCode profile is sync- and budget-tested, but not tied to one model, so it does not have a provider-specific live quality gate. Treat it as a portable best-effort preset and keep OpenCode's write and shell permissions disabled for query-only sessions. The external directory permission is required because the wiki hub lives outside the project directory. Set the paths to match your hub location. Alternatively, use --local mode .wiki/ in the project to skip permissions entirely. Web search requires export OPENCODE ENABLE EXA=1 . Pi skill file, best for local models : Pi's minimal system prompt leaves room for on-demand wiki workflows on local models. Load the full skill for research and write-capable maintenance: pi --skill path/to/llm-wiki/plugins/llm-wiki-opencode/skills/wiki-manager/SKILL.md Invoke it as /skill:wiki-manager , or let Pi load it when the request clearly matches its description. For fast read-only queries with Pi's currently configured provider, use the generic launcher. It disables discovery and write tools and loads the compact shared query protocol: ./scripts/pi-wiki-query For DS4, the provider-specific launcher additionally creates an isolated Pi state directory and pins the local model settings: ./scripts/pi-ds4-wiki-query Set PI CLI , DS4 BASE URL , or LLM WIKI PI DS4 STATE DIR only when your local setup differs from the defaults. Both launchers accept --dry-run to show the exact command. The equivalent generic Pi settings are: pi \ --append-system-prompt path/to/llm-wiki/profiles/query-lite/SKILL.md \ --tools read,grep,find,ls \ --no-extensions --no-skills --no-prompt-templates --no-themes The DS4 query profile is intentionally unable to write. Switch to the full skill for ingest, research, compile, lint, or other mutating workflows. See profiles/ds4/README.md /nvk/llm-wiki/blob/master/profiles/ds4/README.md and the reproducible DS4 lane. /nvk/llm-wiki/blob/master/benchmarks/README.md benchmarks/README.md Any LLM Agent portable instruction file : Read-only queries: small default cp profiles/query-lite/SKILL.md ~/your-project/AGENTS.md Research and maintenance: complete protocol cp AGENTS.md ~/your-project/AGENTS.md The query-lite profile works with agents that can read and search files. The root AGENTS.md contains the complete write-capable protocol for agents that can also edit files and search the web. Claude Code is the principal user. Keep one shared behavior layer and thin packaging layers per runtime: claude-plugin/ is the primary distribution target and UX surface. claude-plugin/skills/wiki-manager/ is the behavioral source of truth. plugins/llm-wiki/skills/wiki/ is the generated Codex packaging target behind @wiki . claude-plugin/skills/wiki-manager/references/query-lite.md is the canonical read-only query protocol. profiles/query-lite/SKILL.md and generated wiki-query skills expose that protocol without the full research context. plugins/llm-wiki-opencode/ is the OpenCode and Pi packaging target. .agents/plugins/marketplace.json makes the Codex plugin installable from this repo. AGENTS.md is the portable single-file protocol for any other LLM agent. Query and research presets: | Client | Read-only query path | Full research path | Validation | |---|---|---|---| | Claude Code | /wiki:query command plus shared query protocol | Native plugin skill and commands | Deterministic fixtures plus live Sonnet/Opus runs | | Codex | Explicit-only $wiki-query ~2.8 KB | @wiki ~11.7 KB before lazy references | Deterministic fixtures plus app-server live runs | | Pi / DS4 | scripts/pi-wiki-query , or the isolated DS4 launcher, with read-only tools ~2.8 KB profile | pi --skill .../wiki-manager/SKILL.md | Deterministic fixtures plus exact DS4 provider-payload measurement | | OpenCode | wiki-query/SKILL.md ~2.8 KB | wiki-manager/SKILL.md ~25.2 KB | Static budgets and generated-package sync; live model is best effort | | Any agent | Copy profiles/query-lite/SKILL.md ~2.8 KB | Copy root AGENTS.md ~51.2 KB | Static budgets | Sizes are checked-in UTF-8 bytes, not provider token estimates. Use query mode for lookups, evidence checks, lists, and inventory status. Use the full profile for research, ingestion, compilation, lint fixes, or any workflow that writes. Both runtime mirrors are generated, not hand-maintained. Rebuild from the Claude source of truth: ./scripts/sync-codex-plugin.sh regenerates plugins/llm-wiki/ ./scripts/sync-opencode-plugin.sh regenerates plugins/llm-wiki-opencode/ ./scripts/sync-query-lite-profile.sh regenerates profiles/query-lite/ Each sync script: - copies claude-plugin/skills/wiki-manager/SKILL.md into the target tree and reapplies a small list of runtime-specific wording patches - copies references/ from the Claude source — references are runtime-neutral and shared verbatim previously a symlink, now a real copy so Codex marketplace caching works - generates compact wiki-query packages from the canonical query-lite reference - Codex only recreates agents/openai.yaml for Codex UI metadata and syncs the plugin version Drift is caught by ./tests/test-codex-sync.sh and ./tests/test-opencode-sync.sh , which run the sync scripts and fail with self-healing fix instructions if the generated directories differ from HEAD . Practical rule: design workflows first for Claude commands and behavior, but keep the underlying knowledge model and references runtime-neutral. Runtime wrappers adapt invocation and metadata, not wiki logic. If you run any AI coding agent inside a nono https://github.com/always-further/nono sandbox, the wiki needs filesystem access beyond the default profile. { "extends": "claude-code", "policy": { "add allow read": "$HOME/.config/llm-wiki" , "add allow readwrite": "$HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/wiki" } } Replace "extends": "claude-code" with "opencode" for OpenCode. Codex needs r+w to its own $HOME/.codex directory for plugin install, marketplace cache, state, and skill registration: { "extends": "codex", "policy": { "add allow read": "$HOME/.config/llm-wiki" , "add allow readwrite": "$HOME/.codex", "$HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/wiki" } } | Path | Access | Purpose | |---|---|---| $HOME/.config/llm-wiki | read | Hub path config — checked first during resolution v0.4.2+ | | Wiki data dir | readwrite | The wiki itself — use the actual path, not $HOME/wiki see below | $HOME/.codex | readwrite | Codex only — plugin cache, skills, state, marketplace temp files | Hub resolution checks ~/.config/llm-wiki/config.json first and only falls back to ~/wiki when no config exists. If your wiki lives on iCloud or any non-default path, set the config and you don't need $HOME/wiki in the sandbox at all: Set once — agents will resolve from config, never touch ~/wiki /wiki config hub-path "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/wiki" Use a portable hub path with ~ for iCloud-shared hubs. Older configs may contain resolved path ; llm-wiki treats it as a fallback cache because an absolute /Users/<name /... path from one Mac will not be valid on another. The shared wikis.json should likewise store hub topic paths as topics/<slug , not absolute user-home paths. If you prefer ~/wiki as a symlink to iCloud, nono's Seatbelt follows symlinks — the target path must be allowed, not the symlink itself. Without the right permissions, Seatbelt or macOS privacy controls can block file access. A useful diagnostic pattern is: stat succeeds for the iCloud wiki path, but reading wikis.json or listing topics/ fails with Operation not permitted . That means the configured hub path is correct; grant Full Disk Access or iCloud Drive access to the exact app launching the agent, restart it, and do not switch to a machine-local resolved path or ~/wiki fallback. Use nono why to diagnose sandbox rules: nono why --path ~/.config/llm-wiki --op read nono why --path ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/wiki --op readwrite OpenCode also needs the external directory permission in opencode.json see Install install — nono and OpenCode have independent sandboxes that both need the same paths allowed. Agents and sandboxed sessions should use GitHub CLI web login with HTTPS git transport, not SSH. This avoids SSH host-key prompts and known hosts writes inside nono: gh auth login --web --git-protocol https gh auth setup-git Claude Code — if claude plugin update pulls the latest correctly: git -C ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/llm-wiki remote set-url origin https://github.com/nvk/llm-wiki.git claude plugin update wiki@llm-wiki Restart Claude Code to apply If the update command doesn't pick up the new version stale marketplace cache , sync manually from the repo: Clone or pull the latest git clone https://github.com/nvk/llm-wiki.git or: git -C ~/llm-wiki pull Sync plugin files to Claude Code's plugin cache REPO=~/llm-wiki/claude-plugin DEST=~/.claude/plugins/cache/llm-wiki/wiki VERSION=$ grep '"version"' "$REPO/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" | grep -o ' 0-9.

The agentic /wiki:lint workflow remains the full protocol for editorial and deep verification passes. The local schema helper creates only a starter advisory topic guide schema.md ; run librarian conventions advice for established wikis before adopting topic-specific vocabulary. The local archive helper performs the deterministic folder move plus wikis.json , hub index, and log updates. Long agent runs can lose useful context when a chat compacts, a terminal closes, or work moves between runtimes. LLM Wiki keeps a separate operational-memory layer under HUB/.sessions/ or .wiki/.sessions/ for a local wiki so a later turn can recover the thread without copying full transcripts into the knowledge base. | Feature | How it works | |---|---| Capture | Trusted hooks use balanced mode by default. They record harness metadata, current directory and Git context, small redacted events, per-session state, and Markdown digests. Full transcript bodies are not stored by default. | Session ID | An ID such as codex:abc123 combines the harness name with that runtime's native session ID. It is a local lookup key—not a secret, transcript, wiki, or topic ID. | Rehydrate | /wiki:session rehydrate returns a compact context block and pointers to matching digests instead of bulk-pasting chat history. | Feedback | High-signal corrections, preferences, approvals, and plan acceptance become reviewable candidates under .sessions/feedback/ ; generic acknowledgements are ignored. | Promote | Digests and feedback remain operational memory until an explicit promote writes a distilled note to a topic's raw/notes/ . Only then can normal compilation turn it into topic knowledge. | Opt out | /wiki:session disable makes trusted capture hooks no-ops; /wiki:session enable turns capture back on. | /wiki:session status /wiki:session list --limit 10 /wiki:session show codex:abc123 /wiki:session rehydrate --cwd "$PWD" /wiki:session promote codex:abc123 --topic meta-llm-wiki /wiki:feedback list --unpromoted /wiki:feedback promote fb-abc123 --topic meta-llm-wiki This harness-session layer is distinct from .research-session.json and .thesis-session.json crash recovery, and from .session-events.jsonl and .session-checkpoint.json workflow provenance.

Research a topic — parallel agents search the web, ingest sources, and compile articles in one command Ingest additional sources — URLs, files, text, tweets via Grok MCP , or bulk via inbox Collect catalogs of discoverable things — examples, media, memes, tools, projects, entities, or source candidates — then optionally inventory them Inventory items, candidates, entities, corpora, watch lists, and next actions that should persist; the agent tells you when inventory is the wrong layer Index datasets that are too large for markdown — manifests, profiles, samples, and query recipes Archive whole topic wikis that should stay preserved but quiet Compile raw sources into synthesized wiki articles with cross-references and confidence scores Query the wiki — quick indexes , standard articles , or deep everything active, archived indexes separated Session capture — automatically preserve redacted Codex/Claude/OpenCode/Gemini checkpoints under .sessions/ and rehydrate future turns Feedback curator — capture reviewable correction/preference/approval candidates under .sessions/feedback/ and promote only what matters Lessons learned — extract knowledge from the current session errors, fixes, gotchas into the wiki Assess a repo against the wiki — gap analysis: what aligns, what's missing, what the market offers Lint for consistency — broken links, missing indexes, orphan articles, archive registry drift Output artifacts — summaries, reports, slides — filed back into the wiki One topic, one wiki — each research area gets its own sub-wiki with isolated indexes. No cross-topic noise. Canonical collection slugs — collection families use kind-first topic names such as memes-bitcoin , memes-ethereum , or tools-bitcoin so related catalogs group naturally as the hub grows. Parallel research agents — 5 standard, 8 deep, 10 retardmax. Each agent searches from a different angle. Collector workflow — search-driven catalogs for objects, media, and examples; saves a provenance map first, then inventories only the durable subset.— every existing wiki-managed directory has an index. Claude reads indexes first, never scans blindly. index.md navigation Articles are synthesized , not copied — they explain, contextualize, cross-reference. Raw is immutable — once ingested, sources are never modified. Multi-wiki aware — queries peek at sibling wiki indexes for overlap. Archive-aware — archived topic wikis stay preserved under topics/.archive/ but are hidden from default query/compile/research/collect/output and maintenance workflows. Dual-linking — both wikilinks Obsidian and standard markdown links on every cross-reference. Works everywhere. Confidence scoring — articles rated high/medium/low based on source quality and corroboration. Structural guardian — auto-checks wiki integrity after operations, fixes trivial issues silently. Activity log — log.md tracks every operation, append-only, grep-friendly. Opinionated inventory — durable tracking gets records; one-off sources stay ingest/query; large row-like data becomes datasets or collection ingests. Big pivots start with a sample table before records are written. Media-safe catalogs — bounded public binary media is cached under output/assets/collect-<slug / by default; raw sources remain textual evidence, and large media sets become dataset manifests. Bulk downloads use timeouts, file-size caps, content-type checks, and IPv4 retry when needed. Feedback is candidate memory — corrections, preferences, approvals, and plan acceptance are saved as redacted candidates under .sessions/feedback/ ; generic acknowledgements are ignored, and promotion into topic notes is explicit. Zero dependencies — runs entirely on built-in tools Claude Code, OpenCode, or Codex . | Mode | Flag | Agents | Style | |---|---|---|---| | Standard | default | 5 | Academic, technical, applied, news, contrarian | | Deep | --deep | 8 | Adds historical, adjacent fields, data/stats | | Retardmax | --retardmax | 10 | Adds rabbit-hole agents. Skip planning, cast widest net, ingest aggressively, compile fast. Lint later. | Smart input detection — /wiki:research auto-detects whether you're passing a topic or a question: | Input | Detected as | Behavior | |---|---|---| "nutrition" | Topic | Standard research — explore the field | "What makes articles go viral?" | Question | Decompose into sub-questions → one agent per sub-question → synthesize → generate playbook → suggest theses | Question mode produces a playbook actionable output artifact and suggests testable theses derived from the findings. Modifiers combine with any mode : | Flag | What it does | |---|---| --new-topic | Create a topic wiki from the research topic and start immediately. Works from any directory. | --plan | Decompose into 3-5 parallel research paths, confirm, then dispatch all paths simultaneously. Parallel ingest, sequential compile. | --min-time <duration | Keep running research rounds until the time budget is spent 30m , 1h , 2h , 4h . Each round drills into gaps the previous round found. | --sources <N | Sources per round default: 5, retardmax: 15 | The full combo — new topic, 2 hours of deep research, from anywhere /wiki:research "CRISPR gene therapy" --new-topic --deep --min-time 2h Retardmax mode is inspired by Elisha Long's retardmaxxing philosophy https://www.retardmaxx.com/ — act first, think later. The antidote to analysis paralysis. Works for both /wiki:research and /wiki:output . Unlike open-ended research, /wiki:thesis starts with a specific claim and evaluates it: /wiki:thesis "intermittent fasting reduces neuroinflammation via glymphatic upregulation" How it works: - Decomposes the thesis into key variables, testable predictions, and falsification criteria - Launches parallel agents — but each agent has the thesis as a FILTER. Irrelevant sources get skipped this prevents bloat - Agents are split: supporting , opposing , mechanistic , meta/review , adjacent — balanced by design - Compiles evidence into wiki articles + a thesis file with evidence tables - Delivers a verdict : supported / partially supported / contradicted / insufficient evidence / mixed Anti-confirmation-bias : When using --min-time , Round 2 automatically focuses harder on the WEAKER side of the evidence. If Round 1 found mostly supporting evidence, Round 2 hunts for counter-evidence. The thesis is the bloat filter. Sources that don't relate to the claim's variables don't get ingested. Higher skip rate = tighter focus. Every cross-reference in the wiki uses dual-link format: gut-brain-axis|Gut-Brain Axis Gut-Brain Axis ../concepts/gut-brain-axis.md The wiki is not locked into any tool : Obsidian reads the wikilink — graph view, backlinks panel, quick-open Claude Code follows the standard relative/path.md link GitHub/any markdown viewer renders the standard link as clickable No viewer at all — plain markdown, readable in any text editor Each topic wiki has its own .obsidian/ config and can be opened as an independent vault: open ~/wiki/topics/nutrition/ Open in Obsidian — focused graph for one topic The hub ~/wiki/ has no .obsidian/ to avoid nested vault confusion. If you want a cross-topic view, open ~/wiki/ manually and let Obsidian create its own config. What works out of the box: .obsidian/ config can be created on init with sane defaults wikilinks power the graph view aliases in frontmatter enable search by alternate names tags in frontmatter are natively read inbox/ works as a drop zone in both Obsidian and the CLI Claude Code is the compiler. Obsidian is an optional viewer. | Depth | Flag | What it does | |---|---|---| | Quick | --quick | Reads indexes only. Fastest. For simple lookups. | | Standard | default | Reads relevant articles + full-text search. For most questions. | | Deep | --deep | Reads everything active, searches raw sources, peeks sibling wikis, and surfaces archived index matches separately. | | List | --list | Returns ranked article list instead of synthesized answer. Supports --tag and --category filters. | Archived topics are excluded from quick, standard, and list results unless you pass --include-archived . Deep mode may show archived index hits, but it does not cite archived material as active evidence without explicit inclusion. Token-efficiency changes are tested with deterministic context budgets and optional real Codex and Claude Code AB/BA harnesses.
