Getting Started with LLM Wiki

Prompt-first procedure: Describe the outcome you want in your agent conversation. The agent should select and load the appropriate AIWG assets, explain material changes, request any needed approval, and report verification evidence. Exact commands and flags appear only in the CLI reference.

Install

Use AIWG to complete this documented outcome: Getting Started with LLM Wiki
Have it inspect the current state, explain the plan, ask before material
changes, and report the result with verification evidence.

This creates the `.aiwg/wiki/` directory structure and registers the addon.

1. Choose a Topology Profile

Set the profile that matches your use case in `.aiwg/aiwg.config`:

{ "llm-wiki": { "topologyProfile": "personal" } }

Available profiles: `book-companion`, `personal`, `research-deep-dive`, `business-team`, `generic`.

2. Ingest Raw Sources

Drop files into `.aiwg/wiki/raw/`:

cp my-article.md .aiwg/wiki/raw/
cp meeting-transcript.txt .aiwg/wiki/raw/

Then ask the LLM to process them:

"Process new raw sources into wiki pages"

The LLM reads each raw source, extracts entities and concepts, and creates derived pages in the appropriate subdirectories using the active template.

3. Browse and Query

Ask questions against the accumulated wiki:

"What do we know about distributed consensus?"
"Summarize all decisions from last week"
"Which entities appear in multiple sources?"

4. Create Synthesis Pages

When you have enough material, ask for cross-cutting synthesis:

"Synthesize the relationship between X and Y across all sources"

Synthesis pages live in `.aiwg/wiki/synthesis/` and link back to their constituent pages.

5. Lint the Wiki

Validate wiki integrity periodically:

"Lint the wiki"

This runs four checks: broken `[[wikilinks]]`, incorrect `@-mention` usage, orphaned pages, and contradictions between pages.
