The LLM Wiki pattern replaces one-off retrieval with a persistent, agent-maintained Markdown wiki. Instead of reassembling context from raw documents for every question, an agent incrementally reads sources, updates summaries and concept pages, adds cross-references, notes contradictions, and logs changes.

Key Takeaways

• Raw sources are immutable and remain the source of truth.
• The wiki is generated and maintained by the LLM as a durable synthesis layer.
• The schema tells the LLM how to file, link, update, query, and lint the wiki.
• `index.md` is content-oriented discovery.
• `log.md` is chronological history.
• Useful answers can be filed back into the wiki so future questions benefit from prior synthesis.
• Periodic lint passes should look for contradictions, stale claims, missing pages, or orphaned knowledge.

Project Implications

Meta Museum should treat `docs/knowledge/` as the agent-maintained synthesis layer, not as a replacement for `docs/linked-art/`, evidence artifacts, or source records. This keeps project claims grounded while letting cross-topic knowledge compound.
