# wiki-context
**Planning workspace** for the `wiki-construct` project — the design
conversation and decision history behind Travis's personal LLM-maintained
wiki. This repo holds the planning docs and the bundled
`wiki-maintenance` skill files, not the wiki itself.
The actual wiki lives in [`../wiki-vault/`](../wiki-vault). Operate on
the live vault there; come here to understand *why* it's shaped the way
it is.
## Layout
```

## What's in each doc
| File | What it captures |
|------|------------------|
| `wiki-construct-context.md` | The *why* — the two converging conversations that produced the project, the wiki-vs-OB1 framing decision, why flat structure won, etc. The load-bearing context that future Claude sessions in this project space should read first. |
| `wiki-construct-project-plan.md` | The *what* — locked decisions, phases, tasks. Treated as a project plan, with frontmatter matching the wiki spec. |
| `CLAUDE.md` | Early draft of the wiki spec. **Frozen** as a design-history record. The vault that actually got built has a different shape — see `wiki-vault/CLAUDE.md` for the canonical current spec. |
| `skill/` | The `wiki-maintenance` skill bundle, split into its four real files (`skill-wiki.md` = SKILL.md, `compile.md`, `lint.md`, `migration.md`) plus a deploy-preamble `README.md`. `compile.md` and `skill-wiki.md` were backported from the installed skill at `~/.claude/skills/wiki-maintenance/` on 2026-05-24 so the archive mirrors the live two-layer taxonomy. |
## How the design evolved
The early CLAUDE.md drafted here proposed:
- A **flat** per-domain structure (`HomeLab/Dev/*.md` etc.)
- Four domains: Dev / **Content** / Homelab / Reference
What actually shipped in `wiki-vault/`:
- A **two-layer** structure: `Sources/` (raw inputs) + `Wiki/`
(compiled outputs)
- Four domains: Dev / **Venture** / Homelab / Reference (Content
renamed)
- Vault-mcp writes into `Sources/` via `create_artifact`;
the `wiki-maintenance` skill compiles into `Wiki/`
Both shapes are valid Karpathy-style LLM-wikis — the live one made
explicit what the draft left implicit (the Sources-vs-Wiki distinction).
## Companion repos
- [`wiki-vault/`](../wiki-vault) — the live vault; canonical spec
+ content.
- `homelab/vault-mcp/` — the MCP server that writes to the live vault
(dual-writes Postgres `petalbrain.wiki` + markdown). It also
embeds note content via Ollama into `petalbrain.public.embeddings`.
## Status
The project moved from this workspace into deployed reality in May 2026.
This repo is kept around as the design archive. Open it when you need
the rationale behind a vault decision; otherwise reach for `wiki-vault/`.
**2026-05-24 session.** Split the single-file skill bundle into its four
real files and backported `compile.md` + `skill-wiki.md` from the
installed skill (the archived copies had drifted to the old flat-structure
draft). On the live vault, ran the first steady-state compile since launch
(34 backlogged sources → indexes + 5 entity refreshes + the
`ai-memory-architecture` synthesis, plus correcting the long-standing
"OB1 = Supabase" error to pgvector:pg17/`petalbrain`), the first lint pass,
promoted 5 new entities (trellis, vault-mcp, petalbrain, knot-dns,
herbyeos), and cleaned out 8 pipeline test artifacts + 3 stale worktrees.
A compile-cadence nudge (n8n → Google Chat, triggered off a
`wiki.compile_runs` table) was drafted to keep the vault from drifting
again — see `docker/n8n/workflows/wiki-compile-nudge.json`.
The leftover `main.py` / `pyproject.toml` / `uv.lock` / `.python-version`
files at the root are uv-init artifacts; they aren't part of this
workspace's purpose.
