# LLM Wiki Pattern

The LLM wiki pattern turns repeated research into a durable Markdown knowledge base. Raw sources remain provenance; the wiki stores curated source cards, compiled topic pages, comparison pages, query notes, backlinks, and update logs.

## Why It Matters Here

Future agents should be able to read this wiki before returning to the Shapiro, 2389, StrongDM, Karpathy, and repository sources. The goal is not to hide sources; it is to avoid re-deriving the same concept map every session.

## Maintenance Rules

- Add a source card for every major source.
- Update concept pages when new sources change the synthesis.
- Preserve contradictions instead of smoothing them away.
- Keep [[index]] and [[log]] current.
