LLM Wiki pattern

Compile-time knowledge vs retrieve-at-query-time (RAG). An agent maintains a persistent, interlinked markdown wiki between you and raw sources.

Core claims

• Raw is immutable — clippings/sources are curated inputs; the wiki is the living artifact.
• Schema disciplines the agent — AGENTS.md / skills tell it how to ingest, query, and lint.
• Bookkeeping is the bottleneck — LLMs win because maintenance cost → ~0.
• Answers compound — good query results get filed back as wiki pages.

Open questions

• How aggressively to backlog-ingest vs domain-scoped compile?
• When does QMD replace Wiki/index.md as primary nav?
