llm-wiki SKILL.md skillA

llm-wiki from ar9av/obsidian-wiki is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ar9av/obsidian-wiki/llm-wiki@git:20261021.cc30fec

Pins git:20261021.cc30fec in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Explain and apply the foundational LLM Wiki architecture and knowledge-management strategy. Use for setup, architecture, schema, or organization decisions; operational ingest/query/lint work uses dedicated skills.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# LLM Wiki — Knowledge Distillation Pattern

You are maintaining a persistent, compounding knowledge base. The wiki is not a chatbot — it is a **compiled artifact** where knowledge is distilled once and kept current, not re-derived on every query.

## Three-Layer Architecture

### Layer 1: Raw Sources (immutable)

The user's original documents — articles, papers, notes, PDFs, conversation logs, bookmarks, **and images** (screenshots, whiteboard photos, diagrams, slide captures). These are never modified by the system. They live wherever the user keeps them (configured via `OBSIDIAN_SOURCES_DIR` in `.env`). Images are first-class sources: the ingest skills read them via the Read tool's vision support and treat their interpreted content as inferred unless it's verbatim transcribed text. Image ingestion requires a vision-capable model — models without vision support should skip image sources and report which files were skipped.

Think of raw sources as the "source code" — authoritative but hard to query directly.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ar9av/obsidian-wiki/llm-wiki@sha256:f25b6e020b2bb3ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.cc30fec, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
