+ # Kanban Worker — Pitfalls and Examples
9
+
10
+ > You're seeing this skill because the Kanban dispatcher spawned you as a worker with `--skills kanban-worker` — it's loaded automatically for every dispatched worker. The **lifecycle** (6 steps: orient → work → heartbeat → block/complete) also lives in the `KANBAN_GUIDANCE` block that's auto-injected into your system prompt. This skill is the deeper detail: good handoff shapes, retry diagnostics, edge cases.
11
+
12
+ ## Workspace handling
13
+
14
+ Your workspace kind determines how you should behave inside `$HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACE`:
15
+
16
+ | Kind | What it is | How to work |
17
+ |---|---|---|
18
+ | `scratch` | Fresh tmp dir, yours alone | Read/write freely; it gets GC'd when the task is archived. |
19
+ | `dir:<path>` | Shared persistent directory | Other runs will read what you write. Treat it like long-lived state. Path is guaranteed absolute (the kernel rejects relative paths). |
20
+ | `worktree` | Git worktree at the resolved path | If `.git` doesn't exist, run `git worktree add <path> ${HERMES_KANBAN_BRANCH:-wt/$HERMES_KANBAN_TASK}` from the main repo first, then cd and work normally. Commit work here. |
21
+
22
+ ## Tenant isolation
23
+
24
+ If `$HERMES_TENANT` is set, the task belongs to a tenant namespace. When reading or writing persistent memory, prefix memory entries with the tenant so context doesn't leak across tenants:
25
+
26
+ - Good: `business-a: Acme is our biggest customer`
27
+ - Bad (leaks): `Acme is our biggest customer`
28
+
29
+ ## Good summary + metadata shapes
30
+
31
+ The `kanban_complete(summary=..., metadata=...)` handoff is how downstream workers read what you did. Patterns that work:
32
+
33
+ **Coding task:**
34
+ ```python
35
+ kanban_complete(
36
+ summary="shipped rate limiter — token bucket, keys on user_id with IP fallback, 14 tests pass",
37
+ metadata={
38
+ "changed_files": ["rate_limiter.py", "tests/test_rate_limiter.py"],
39
+ "tests_run": 14,
40
+ "tests_passed": 14,
41
+ "decisions": ["user_id primary, IP fallback for unauthenticated requests"],
42
+ },
43
+ )
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ **Coding task that needs human review (review-required):**
47
+
48
+ For most code-changing tasks, the work isn't truly *done* until a human reviewer has eyes on it. Block instead of complete, with `reason` prefixed `review-required: ` so the dashboard surfaces the row as needing review. Drop the structured metadata (changed files, test counts, diff/PR url) into a comment first, since `kanban_block` only carries the human-readable reason — comments are the durable annotation channel. Reviewer either approves and runs `hermes kanban unblock <id>` (which re-spawns you with the comment thread for any follow-ups) or asks for changes via another comment.
49
+
50
+ ```python
51
+ import json
52
+
53
+ kanban_comment(
54
+ body="review-required handoff:\n" + json.dumps({
55
+ "changed_files": ["rate_limiter.py", "tests/test_rate_limiter.py"],
56
+ "tests_run": 14,
57
+ "tests_passed": 14,
58
+ "diff_path": "/path/to/worktree", # or PR url if pushed
59
+ "decisions": ["user_id primary, IP fallback for unauthenticated requests"],
60
+ }, indent=2),
61
+ )
62
+ kanban_block(
63
+ reason="review-required: rate limiter shipped, 14/14 tests pass — needs eyes on the user_id/IP fallback choice before merging",
64
+ )
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ Use `kanban_complete` only when the task is genuinely terminal — e.g. a one-line typo fix, a docs change with no functional consequences, or a research task where the artifact IS the writeup itself.
68
+
69
+ **Research task:**
70
+ ```python
71
+ kanban_complete(
72
+ summary="3 competing libraries reviewed; vLLM wins on throughput, SGLang on latency, Tensorrt-LLM on memory efficiency",
73
+ metadata={
74
+ "sources_read": 12,
75
+ "recommendation": "vLLM",
76
+ "benchmarks": {"vllm": 1.0, "sglang": 0.87, "trtllm": 0.72},
77
+ },
78
+ )
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ **Review task:**
82
+ ```python
83
+ kanban_complete(
84
+ summary="reviewed PR #123; 2 blocking issues found (SQL injection in /search, missing CSRF on /settings)",
85
+ metadata={
86
+ "pr_number": 123,
87
+ "findings": [
88
+ {"severity": "critical", "file": "api/search.py", "line": 42, "issue": "raw SQL concat"},
89
+ {"severity": "high", "file": "api/settings.py", "issue": "missing CSRF middleware"},
90
+ ],
91
+ "approved": False,
92
+ },
93
+ )
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ Shape `metadata` so downstream parsers (reviewers, aggregators, schedulers) can use it without re-reading your prose.
97
+

+ ## Claiming cards you actually created

+ If your run produced new kanban tasks (via `kanban_create`), pass the ids in `created_cards` on `kanban_complete`. The kernel verifies each id exists and was created by your profile; any phantom id blocks the completion with an error listing what went wrong, and the rejected attempt is permanently recorded on the task's event log. **Only list ids you captured from a successful `kanban_create` return value — never invent ids from prose, never paste ids from earlier runs, never claim cards another worker created.**
101
+
102
+ ```python
103
+ # GOOD — capture return values, then claim them.
104
+ c1 = kanban_create(title="remediate SQL injection", assignee="security-worker")
105
+ c2 = kanban_create(title="fix CSRF middleware", assignee="web-worker")
106
+
107
+ kanban_complete(
108
+ summary="Review done; spawned remediations for both findings.",
109
+ metadata={"pr_number": 123, "approved": False},
110
+ created_cards=[c1["task_id"], c2["task_id"]],
111
+ )
112
+ ```
113
+
114
+ ```python
115
+ # BAD — claiming ids you don't have captured return values for.
116
+ kanban_complete(
117
+ summary="Created remediation cards t_a1b2c3d4, t_deadbeef", # hallucinated
118
+ created_cards=["t_a1b2c3d4", "t_deadbeef"], # → gate rejects
119
+ )
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ If a `kanban_create` call fails (exception, tool_error), the card was NOT created — do not include a phantom id for it. Retry the create, or omit the id and mention the failure in your summary. The prose-scan pass also catches `t_<hex>` references in your free-form summary that don't resolve; these don't block the completion but show up as advisory warnings on the task in the dashboard.
123
+
124
+ ## Block reasons that get answered fast
125
+
126
+ Bad: `"stuck"` — the human has no context.
127
+
128
+ Good: one sentence naming the specific decision you need. Leave longer context as a comment instead.
129
+
130
+ ```python
131
+ kanban_comment(
132
+ task_id=os.environ["HERMES_KANBAN_TASK"],
133
+ body="Full context: I have user IPs from Cloudflare headers but some users are behind NATs with thousands of peers. Keying on IP alone causes false positives.",
134
+ )
135
+ kanban_block(reason="Rate limit key choice: IP (simple, NAT-unsafe) or user_id (requires auth, skips anonymous endpoints)?")
136
+ ```
137
+
138
+ The block message is what appears in the dashboard / gateway notifier. The comment is the deeper context a human reads when they open the task.
139
+
140
+ ## Heartbeats worth sending
141
+
142
+ Good heartbeats name progress: `"epoch 12/50, loss 0.31"`, `"scanned 1.2M/2.4M rows"`, `"uploaded 47/120 videos"`.
143
+
144
+ Bad heartbeats: `"still working"`, empty notes, sub-second intervals. Every few minutes max; skip entirely for tasks under ~2 minutes.
145
+
146
+ ## Retry scenarios
147
+
148
+ If you open the task and `kanban_show` returns `runs: [...]` with one or more closed runs, you're a retry. The prior runs' `outcome` / `summary` / `error` tell you what didn't work. Don't repeat that path. Typical retry diagnostics:
149
+
150
+ - `outcome: "timed_out"` — the previous attempt hit `max_runtime_seconds`. You may need to chunk the work or shorten it.
151
+ - `outcome: "crashed"` — OOM or segfault. Reduce memory footprint.
152
+ - `outcome: "spawn_failed"` + `error: "..."` — usually a profile config issue (missing credential, bad PATH). Ask the human via `kanban_block` instead of retrying blindly.
153
+ - `outcome: "reclaimed"` + `summary: "task archived..."` — operator archived the task out from under the previous run; you probably shouldn't be running at all, check status carefully.
154
+ - `outcome: "blocked"` — a previous attempt blocked; the unblock comment should be in the thread by now.
155
+
156
+ ## Notification routing
157
+
158
+ You can configure the gateway to receive cross-profile Kanban task notifications by adding `notification_sources` to `~/.agent/config.yaml`.
159
+ - `notification_sources: ['*']` accepts subscriptions from all profiles.
160
+ - `notification_sources: ['default', 'zilor-ppt']` or `"default,zilor-ppt"` restricts subscriptions to specified profiles.
161
+ - Omitting the key keeps the default behavior (profile isolation).
162
+
163
+ ## Do NOT
164
+
165
+ - Call `delegate_task` as a substitute for `kanban_create`. `delegate_task` is for short reasoning subtasks inside YOUR run; `kanban_create` is for cross-agent handoffs that outlive one API loop.
166
+ - Call `clarify` to ask the human a question. You are running headless — there is no live user to answer. The call will time out (default ~120s) and the task will sit silently in `running` with no signal that it needs input. Use `kanban_comment` (context) + `kanban_block(reason=...)` (decision needed) instead — the task surfaces on the board as blocked, the operator sees it, unblocks with their answer in a comment, and you respawn with the thread.
167
+ - Modify files outside `$HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACE` unless the task body says to.
168
+ - Create follow-up tasks assigned to yourself — assign to the right specialist.
169
+ - Complete a task you didn't actually finish. Block it instead.
170
+
171
+ ## Pitfalls
172
+
173
+ **Task state can change between dispatch and your startup.** Between when the dispatcher claimed and when your process actually booted, the task may have been blocked, reassigned, or archived. Always `kanban_show` first. If it reports `blocked` or `archived`, stop — you shouldn't be running.
174
+
175
+ **Workspace may have stale artifacts.** Especially `dir:` and `worktree` workspaces can have files from previous runs. Read the comment thread — it usually explains why you're running again and what state the workspace is in.
176
+
177
+ **Don't rely on the CLI when the guidance is available.** The `kanban_*` tools work across all terminal backends (Docker, Modal, SSH). `hermes kanban <verb>` from your terminal tool will fail in containerized backends because the CLI isn't installed there. When in doubt, use the tool.
178
+
179
+ ## CLI fallback (for scripting)
180
+
181
+ Every tool has a CLI equivalent for human operators and scripts:
182
+ - `kanban_show` ↔ `hermes kanban show <id> --json`
183
+ - `kanban_complete` ↔ `hermes kanban complete <id> --summary "..." --metadata '{...}'`
184
+ - `kanban_block` ↔ `hermes kanban block <id> "reason"`
185
+ - `kanban_create` ↔ `hermes kanban create "title" --assignee <profile> [--parent <id>]`
186
+ - etc.
187
+
188
+ Use the tools from inside an agent; the CLI exists for the human at the terminal.

4
+ version: 2.1.0

6
+
7
+ # Karpathy's LLM Wiki
8
+
9
+ Build and maintain a persistent, compounding knowledge base as interlinked markdown files.
10
+ Based on [Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f).
11
+
12
+ Unlike traditional RAG (which rediscovers knowledge from scratch per query), the wiki
13
+ compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. Cross-references are already there.
14
+ Contradictions have already been flagged. Synthesis reflects everything ingested.
15
+
16
+ **Division of labor:** The human curates sources and directs analysis. The agent
17
+ summarizes, cross-references, files, and maintains consistency.
18
+
19
+ ## When This Skill Activates
20
+
21
+ Use this skill when the user:
22
+ - Asks to create, build, or start a wiki or knowledge base
23
+ - Asks to ingest, add, or process a source into their wiki
24
+ - Asks a question and an existing wiki is present at the configured path
25
+ - Asks to lint, audit, or health-check their wiki
26
+ - References their wiki, knowledge base, or "notes" in a research context
27
+
28
+ ## Wiki Location
29
+
30
+ **Location:** Set via `WIKI_PATH` environment variable (e.g. in `${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/.env`).
31
+
32
+ If unset, defaults to `~/wiki`.
33
+
34
+ ```bash
35
+ WIKI="${WIKI_PATH:-$HOME/wiki}"
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ The wiki is just a directory of markdown files — open it in Obsidian, VS Code, or
39
+ any editor. No database, no special tooling required.
40
+
41
+ ## Architecture: Three Layers
42
+
43
+ ```
44
+ wiki/
45
+ ├── SCHEMA.md # Conventions, structure rules, domain config
46
+ ├── index.md # Sectioned content catalog with one-line summaries
47
+ ├── log.md # Chronological action log (append-only, rotated yearly)
48
+ ├── raw/ # Layer 1: Immutable source material
49
+ │ ├── articles/ # Web articles, clippings
50
+ │ ├── papers/ # PDFs, arxiv papers
51
+ │ ├── transcripts/ # Meeting notes, interviews
52
+ │ └── assets/ # Images, diagrams referenced by sources
53
+ ├── entities/ # Layer 2: Entity pages (people, orgs, products, models)
54
+ ├── concepts/ # Layer 2: Concept/topic pages
55
+ ├── comparisons/ # Layer 2: Side-by-side analyses
56
+ └── queries/ # Layer 2: Filed query results worth keeping
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ **Layer 1 — Raw Sources:** Immutable. The agent reads but never modifies these.
60
+ **Layer 2 — The Wiki:** Agent-owned markdown files. Created, updated, and
61
+ cross-referenced by the agent.
62
+ **Layer 3 — The Schema:** `SCHEMA.md` defines structure, conventions, and tag taxonomy.
63
+
64
+ ## Resuming an Existing Wiki (CRITICAL — do this every session)
65
+
66
+ When the user has an existing wiki, **always orient yourself before doing anything**:
67
+
68
+ ① **Read `SCHEMA.md`** — understand the domain, conventions, and tag taxonomy.
69
+ ② **Read `index.md`** — learn what pages exist and their summaries.
70
+ ③ **Scan recent `log.md`** — read the last 20-30 entries to understand recent activity.
71
+
72
+ ```bash
73
+ WIKI="${WIKI_PATH:-$HOME/wiki}"
74
+ # Orientation reads at session start
75
+ read_file "$WIKI/SCHEMA.md"
76
+ read_file "$WIKI/index.md"
77
+ read_file "$WIKI/log.md" offset=<last 30 lines>
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ Only after orientation should you ingest, query, or lint. This prevents:
81
+ - Creating duplicate pages for entities that already exist
82
+ - Missing cross-references to existing content
83
+ - Contradicting the schema's conventions
84
+ - Repeating work already logged
85
+
86
+ For large wikis (100+ pages), also run a quick `search_files` for the topic
87
+ at hand before creating anything new.
88
+
89
+ ## Initializing a New Wiki
90
+
91
+ When the user asks to create or start a wiki:
92
+
93
+ 1. Determine the wiki path (from `$WIKI_PATH` env var, or ask the user; default `~/wiki`)
94
+ 2. Create the directory structure above
95
+ 3. Ask the user what domain the wiki covers — be specific
96
+ 4. Write `SCHEMA.md` customized to the domain (see template below)
97
+ 5. Write initial `index.md` with sectioned header
98
+ 6. Write initial `log.md` with creation entry
99
+ 7. Confirm the wiki is ready and suggest first sources to ingest
100
+
101
+ ### SCHEMA.md Template
102
+
103
+ Adapt to the user's domain. The schema constrains agent behavior and ensures consistency:
104
+
105
+ ```markdown
106
+ # Wiki Schema
107
+
108
+ ## Domain
109
+ [What this wiki covers — e.g., "AI/ML research", "personal health", "startup intelligence"]
110
+
111
+ ## Conventions
112
+ - File names: lowercase, hyphens, no spaces (e.g., `transformer-architecture.md`)
113
+ - Every wiki page starts with YAML frontmatter (see below)
114
+ - Use `[[wikilinks]]` to link between pages (minimum 2 outbound links per page)
115
+ - When updating a page, always bump the `updated` date
116
+ - Every new page must be added to `index.md` under the correct section
117
+ - Every action must be appended to `log.md`
118
+ - **Provenance markers:** On pages that synthesize 3+ sources, append `^[raw/articles/source-file.md]`
119
+ at the end of paragraphs whose claims come from a specific source. This lets a reader trace each
120
+ claim back without re-reading the whole raw file. Optional on single-source pages where the
121
+ `sources:` frontmatter is enough.
122
+
123
+ ## Frontmatter
124
+ ```yaml
125
+ ---
126
+ title: Page Title
127
+ created: YYYY-MM-DD
128
+ updated: YYYY-MM-DD
129
+ type: entity | concept | comparison | query | summary
130
+ tags: [from taxonomy below]
131
+ sources: [raw/articles/source-name.md]
132
+ # Optional quality signals:
133
+ confidence: high | medium | low # how well-supported the claims are
134
+ contested: true # set when the page has unresolved contradictions
135
+ contradictions: [other-page-slug] # pages this one conflicts with
136
+ ---
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ `confidence` and `contested` are optional but recommended for opinion-heavy or fast-moving
140
+ topics. Lint surfaces `contested: true` and `confidence: low` pages for review so weak claims
141
+ don't silently harden into accepted wiki fact.
142
+
143
+ ### raw/ Frontmatter
144
+
145
+ Raw sources ALSO get a small frontmatter block so re-ingests can detect drift:
146
+
147
+ ```yaml
148
+ ---
149
+ source_url: https://example.com/article # original URL, if applicable
150
+ ingested: YYYY-MM-DD
151
+ sha256: <hex digest of the raw content below the frontmatter>
152
+ ---
153
+ ```
154
+
155
+ The `sha256:` lets a future re-ingest of the same URL skip processing when content is unchanged,
156
+ and flag drift when it has changed. Compute over the body only (everything after the closing
157
+ `---`), not the frontmatter itself.
158
+
159
+ ## Tag Taxonomy
160
+ [Define 10-20 top-level tags for the domain. Add new tags here BEFORE using them.]
161
+
162
+ Example for AI/ML:
163
+ - Models: model, architecture, benchmark, training
164
+ - People/Orgs: person, company, lab, open-source
165
+ - Techniques: optimization, fine-tuning, inference, alignment, data
166
+ - Meta: comparison, timeline, controversy, prediction
167
+
168
+ Rule: every tag on a page must appear in this taxonomy. If a new tag is needed,
169
+ add it here first, then use it. This prevents tag sprawl.
170
+
171
+ ## Page Thresholds
172
+ - **Create a page** when an entity/concept appears in 2+ sources OR is central to one source
173
+ - **Add to existing page** when a source mentions something already covered
174
+ - **DON'T create a page** for passing mentions, minor details, or things outside the domain
175
+ - **Split a page** when it exceeds ~200 lines — break into sub-topics with cross-links
176
+ - **Archive a page** when its content is fully superseded — move to `_archive/`, remove from index
177
+
178
+ ## Entity Pages
179
+ One page per notable entity. Include:
180
+ - Overview / what it is
181
+ - Key facts and dates
182
+ - Relationships to other entities ([[wikilinks]])
183
+ - Source references
184
+
185
+ ## Concept Pages
186
+ One page per concept or topic. Include:
187
+ - Definition / explanation
188
+ - Current state of knowledge
189
+ - Open questions or debates
190
+ - Related concepts ([[wikilinks]])
191
+
192
+ ## Comparison Pages
193
+ Side-by-side analyses. Include:
194
+ - What is being compared and why
195
+ - Dimensions of comparison (table format preferred)
196
+ - Verdict or synthesis
197
+ - Sources
198
+
199
+ ## Update Policy
200
+ When new information conflicts with existing content:
201
+ 1. Check the dates — newer sources generally supersede older ones
202
+ 2. If genuinely contradictory, note both positions with dates and sources
203
+ 3. Mark the contradiction in frontmatter: `contradictions: [page-name]`
204
+ 4. Flag for user review in the lint report
205
+ ```
206
+
207
+ ### index.md Template
208
+
209
+ The index is sectioned by type. Each entry is one line: wikilink + summary.
210
+
211
+ ```markdown
212
+ # Wiki Index
213
+
214
+ > Content catalog. Every wiki page listed under its type with a one-line summary.
215
+ > Read this first to find relevant pages for any query.
216
+ > Last updated: YYYY-MM-DD | Total pages: N
217
+
218
+ ## Entities
219
+ <!-- Alphabetical within section -->
220
+
221
+ ## Concepts
222
+
223
+ ## Comparisons
224
+
225
+ ## Queries
226
+ ```
227
+
228
+ **Scaling rule:** When any section exceeds 50 entries, split it into sub-sections
229
+ by first letter or sub-domain. When the index exceeds 200 entries total, create
230
+ a `_meta/topic-map.md` that groups pages by theme for faster navigation.
231
+
232
+ ### log.md Template
233
+
234
+ ```markdown
235
+ # Wiki Log
236
+
237
+ > Chronological record of all wiki actions. Append-only.
238
+ > Format: `## [YYYY-MM-DD] action | subject`
239
+ > Actions: ingest, update, query, lint, create, archive, delete
240
+ > When this file exceeds 500 entries, rotate: rename to log-YYYY.md, start fresh.
241
+
242
+ ## [YYYY-MM-DD] create | Wiki initialized
243
+ - Domain: [domain]
244
+ - Structure created with SCHEMA.md, index.md, log.md
245
+ ```
246
+
247
+ ## Core Operations
248
+
249
+ ### 1. Ingest
250
+
251
+ When the user provides a source (URL, file, paste), integrate it into the wiki:
252
+
253
+ ① **Capture the raw source:**
254
+ - URL → use `web_extract` to get markdown, save to `raw/articles/`
255
+ - PDF → use `web_extract` (handles PDFs), save to `raw/papers/`
256
+ - Pasted text → save to appropriate `raw/` subdirectory
257
+ - Name the file descriptively: `raw/articles/karpathy-llm-wiki-2026.md`
258
+ - **Add raw frontmatter** (`source_url`, `ingested`, `sha256` of the body).
259
+ On re-ingest of the same URL: recompute the sha256, compare to the stored value —
260
+ skip if identical, flag drift and update if different. This is cheap enough to
261
+ do on every re-ingest and catches silent source changes.
262
+
263
+ ② **Discuss takeaways** with the user — what's interesting, what matters for
264
+ the domain. (Skip this in automated/cron contexts — proceed directly.)
265
+
266
+ ③ **Check what already exists** — search index.md and use `search_files` to find
267
+ existing pages for mentioned entities/concepts. This is the difference between
268
+ a growing wiki and a pile of duplicates.
269
+
270
+ ④ **Write or update wiki pages:**
271
+ - **New entities/concepts:** Create pages only if they meet the Page Thresholds
272
+ in SCHEMA.md (2+ source mentions, or central to one source)
273
+ - **Existing pages:** Add new information, update facts, bump `updated` date.
274
+ When new info contradicts existing content, follow the Update Policy.
275
+ - **Cross-reference:** Every new or updated page must link to at least 2 other
276
+ pages via `[[wikilinks]]`. Check that existing pages link back.
277
+ - **Tags:** Only use tags from the taxonomy in SCHEMA.md
278
+ - **Provenance:** On pages synthesizing 3+ sources, append `^[raw/articles/source.md]`
279
+ markers to paragraphs whose claims trace to a specific source.
280
+ - **Confidence:** For opinion-heavy, fast-moving, or single-source claims, set
281
+ `confidence: medium` or `low` in frontmatter. Don't mark `high` unless the
282
+ claim is well-supported across multiple sources.
283
+
284
+ ⑤ **Update navigation:**
285
+ - Add new pages to `index.md` under the correct section, alphabetically
286
+ - Update the "Total pages" count and "Last updated" date in index header
287
+ - Append to `log.md`: `## [YYYY-MM-DD] ingest | Source Title`
288
+ - List every file created or updated in the log entry
289
+
290
+ ⑥ **Report what changed** — list every file created or updated to the user.
291
+
292
+ A single source can trigger updates across 5-15 wiki pages. This is normal
293
+ and desired — it's the compounding effect.
294
+
295
+ ### 2. Query
296
+
297
+ When the user asks a question about the wiki's domain:
298
+
299
+ ① **Read `index.md`** to identify relevant pages.
300
+ ② **For wikis with 100+ pages**, also `search_files` across all `.md` files
301
+ for key terms — the index alone may miss relevant content.
302
+ ③ **Read the relevant pages** using `read_file`.
303
+ ④ **Synthesize an answer** from the compiled knowledge. Cite the wiki pages
304
+ you drew from: "Based on [[page-a]] and [[page-b]]..."
305
+ ⑤ **File valuable answers back** — if the answer is a substantial comparison,
306
+ deep dive, or novel synthesis, create a page in `queries/` or `comparisons/`.
307
+ Don't file trivial lookups — only answers that would be painful to re-derive.
308
+ ⑥ **Update log.md** with the query and whether it was filed.
309
+
310
+ ### 3. Lint
311
+
312
+ When the user asks to lint, health-check, or audit the wiki:
313
+
314
+ ① **Orphan pages:** Find pages with no inbound `[[wikilinks]]` from other pages.
315
+ ```python
316
+ # Use execute_code for this — programmatic scan across all wiki pages
317
+ import os, re
318
+ from collections import defaultdict
319
+ wiki = "<WIKI_PATH>"
320
+ # Scan all .md files in entities/, concepts/, comparisons/, queries/
321
+ # Extract all [[wikilinks]] — build inbound link map
322
+ # Pages with zero inbound links are orphans
323
+ ```
324
+
325
+ ② **Broken wikilinks:** Find `[[links]]` that point to pages that don't exist.
326
+
327
+ ③ **Index completeness:** Every wiki page should appear in `index.md`. Compare
328
+ the filesystem against index entries.
329
+
330
+ ④ **Frontmatter validation:** Every wiki page must have all required fields
331
+ (title, created, updated, type, tags, sources). Tags must be in the taxonomy.
332
+
333
+ ⑤ **Stale content:** Pages whose `updated` date is >90 days older than the most
334
+ recent source that mentions the same entities.
335
+
336
+ ⑥ **Contradictions:** Pages on the same topic with conflicting claims. Look for
337
+ pages that share tags/entities but state different facts. Surface all pages
338
+ with `contested: true` or `contradictions:` frontmatter for user review.
339
+
340
+ ⑦ **Quality signals:** List pages with `confidence: low` and any page that cites
341
+ only a single source but has no confidence field set — these are candidates
342
+ for either finding corroboration or demoting to `confidence: medium`.
343
+
344
+ ⑧ **Source drift:** For each file in `raw/` with a `sha256:` frontmatter, recompute
345
+ the hash and flag mismatches. Mismatches indicate the raw file was edited
346
+ (shouldn't happen — raw/ is immutable) or ingested from a URL that has since
347
+ changed. Not a hard error, but worth reporting.
348
+
349
+ ⑨ **Page size:** Flag pages over 200 lines — candidates for splitting.
350
+
351
+ ⑩ **Tag audit:** List all tags in use, flag any not in the SCHEMA.md taxonomy.
352
+
353
+ ⑪ **Log rotation:** If log.md exceeds 500 entries, rotate it.
354
+
355
+ ⑫ **Report findings** with specific file paths and suggested actions, grouped by
356
+ severity (broken links > orphans > source drift > contested pages > stale content > style issues).
357
+
358
+ ⑬ **Append to log.md:** `## [YYYY-MM-DD] lint | N issues found`
359
+
360
+ ## Working with the Wiki
361
+
362
+ ### Searching
363
+
364
+ ```bash
365
+ # Find pages by content
366
+ search_files "transformer" path="$WIKI" file_glob="*.md"
367
+
368
+ # Find pages by filename
369
+ search_files "*.md" target="files" path="$WIKI"
370
+
371
+ # Find pages by tag
372
+ search_files "tags:.*alignment" path="$WIKI" file_glob="*.md"
373
+
374
+ # Recent activity
375
+ read_file "$WIKI/log.md" offset=<last 20 lines>
376
+ ```
377
+
378
+ ### Bulk Ingest
379
+
380
+ When ingesting multiple sources at once, batch the updates:
381
+ 1. Read all sources first
382
+ 2. Identify all entities and concepts across all sources
383
+ 3. Check existing pages for all of them (one search pass, not N)
384
+ 4. Create/update pages in one pass (avoids redundant updates)
385
+ 5. Update index.md once at the end
386
+ 6. Write a single log entry covering the batch
387
+
388
+ ### Archiving
389
+
390
+ When content is fully superseded or the domain scope changes:
391
+ 1. Create `_archive/` directory if it doesn't exist
392
+ 2. Move the page to `_archive/` with its original path (e.g., `_archive/entities/old-page.md`)
393
+ 3. Remove from `index.md`
394
+ 4. Update any pages that linked to it — replace wikilink with plain text + "(archived)"
395
+ 5. Log the archive action
396
+
397
+ ### Obsidian Integration
398
+
399
+ The wiki directory works as an Obsidian vault out of the box:
400
+ - `[[wikilinks]]` render as clickable links
401
+ - Graph View visualizes the knowledge network
402
+ - YAML frontmatter powers Dataview queries
403
+ - The `raw/assets/` folder holds images referenced via `![[image.png]]`
404
+
405
+ For best results:
406
+ - Set Obsidian's attachment folder to `raw/assets/`
407
+ - Enable "Wikilinks" in Obsidian settings (usually on by default)
408
+ - Install Dataview plugin for queries like `TABLE tags FROM "entities" WHERE contains(tags, "company")`
409
+
410
+ If using the Obsidian skill alongside this one, set `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH` to the
411
+ same directory as the wiki path.
412
+
413
+ ### Obsidian Headless (servers and headless machines)
414
+
415
+ On machines without a display, use `obsidian-headless` instead of the desktop app.
416
+ It syncs vaults via Obsidian Sync without a GUI — perfect for agents running on
417
+ servers that write to the wiki while Obsidian desktop reads it on another device.
418
+
419
+ **Setup:**
420
+ ```bash
421
+ # Requires Node.js 22+
422
+ npm install -g obsidian-headless
423
+
424
+ # Login (requires Obsidian account with Sync subscription)
425
+ ob login --email <email> --password '<password>'
426
+
427
+ # Create a remote vault for the wiki
428
+ ob sync-create-remote --name "LLM Wiki"
429
+
430
+ # Connect the wiki directory to the vault
431
+ cd ~/wiki
432
+ ob sync-setup --vault "<vault-id>"
433
+
434
+ # Initial sync
435
+ ob sync
436
+
437
+ # Continuous sync (foreground — use systemd for background)
438
+ ob sync --continuous
439
+ ```
440
+
441
+ **Continuous background sync via systemd:**
442
+ ```ini
443
+ # ~/.config/systemd/user/obsidian-wiki-sync.service
444
+ [Unit]
445
+ Description=Obsidian LLM Wiki Sync
446
+ After=network-online.target
447
+ Wants=network-online.target
448
+
449
+ [Service]
450
+ ExecStart=/path/to/ob sync --continuous
451
+ WorkingDirectory=/home/user/wiki
452
+ Restart=on-failure
453
+ RestartSec=10
454
+
455
+ [Install]
456
+ WantedBy=default.target
457
+ ```
458
+
459
+ ```bash
460
+ systemctl --user daemon-reload
461
+ systemctl --user enable --now obsidian-wiki-sync
462
+ # Enable linger so sync survives logout:
463
+ sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER
464
+ ```
465
+
466
+ This lets the agent write to `~/wiki` on a server while you browse the same
467
+ vault in Obsidian on your laptop/phone — changes appear within seconds.
468
+
469
+ ## Pitfalls
470
+
471
+ - **Never modify files in `raw/`** — sources are immutable. Corrections go in wiki pages.
472
+ - **Always orient first** — read SCHEMA + index + recent log before any operation in a new session.
473
+ Skipping this causes duplicates and missed cross-references.
474
+ - **Always update index.md and log.md** — skipping this makes the wiki degrade. These are the
475
+ navigational backbone.
476
+ - **Don't create pages for passing mentions** — follow the Page Thresholds in SCHEMA.md. A name
477
+ appearing once in a footnote doesn't warrant an entity page.
478
+ - **Don't create pages without cross-references** — isolated pages are invisible. Every page must
479
+ link to at least 2 other pages.
480
+ - **Frontmatter is required** — it enables search, filtering, and staleness detection.
481
+ - **Tags must come from the taxonomy** — freeform tags decay into noise. Add new tags to SCHEMA.md
482
+ first, then use them.
483
+ - **Keep pages scannable** — a wiki page should be readable in 30 seconds. Split pages over
484
+ 200 lines. Move detailed analysis to dedicated deep-dive pages.
485
+ - **Ask before mass-updating** — if an ingest would touch 10+ existing pages, confirm
486
+ the scope with the user first.
487
+ - **Rotate the log** — when log.md exceeds 500 entries, rename it `log-YYYY.md` and start fresh.
488
+ The agent should check log size during lint.
489
+ - **Handle contradictions explicitly** — don't silently overwrite. Note both claims with dates,
490
+ mark in frontmatter, flag for user review.

+ ## Related Tools
493
+
494
+ [llm-wiki-compiler](https://github.com/atomicmemory/llm-wiki-compiler) is a Node.js CLI that
495
+ compiles sources into a concept wiki with the same Karpathy inspiration. It's Obsidian-compatible,
496
+ so users who want a scheduled/CLI-driven compile pipeline can point it at the same vault this
497
+ skill maintains. Trade-offs: it owns page generation (replaces the agent's judgment on page
498
+ creation) and is tuned for small corpora. Use this skill when you want agent-in-the-loop curation;
499
+ use llmwiki when you want batch compile of a source directory.
