Start Here gives first-time builders a practical route through the LLM Wiki pattern. The goal is not to collect every file you own. The goal is to build a small, reviewable system where every useful ingestion and every useful answer improves the durable markdown graph.
What is an LLM Wiki?
Understand the difference between a compiled wiki, a note folder, and a query-time RAG system.
The three-layer architecture
Create raw/, wiki/, and AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md as separate responsibilities.
Ingest a source
Turn one source into source summaries, concept updates, links, contradictions, and a log entry.
Learning paths
| Reader | Sequence | Exit condition |
|---|---|---|
| Personal builder | Overview -> three layers -> ingest -> index.md/log.md -> AGENTS.md -> personal example. | You can add a source and ask a question without reading raw files again. |
| Team maintainer | Overview -> team example -> schema -> lint -> source policy -> governance. | You have review gates, source boundaries, and a safe contribution path. |
| Technical writer | Overview -> navigation -> page templates -> examples -> llms.txt source map. | Your docs can be read by humans and routed by AI crawlers. |
