llm-wiki

The LLM Wiki pattern is a knowledge-management architecture that distills raw sources into a persistent, navigable Obsidian wiki. It standardizes information architecture using a three-layer system of raw sources, wiki pages, and schema to reduce knowledge duplication and rework over time.

You organize distilled knowledge by separating it into Layer 1 raw sources, Layer 2 wiki, and Layer 3 schema. This three-layer architecture governs structure and workflows, applying frontmatter-driven metadata, cross-linking, and schema-based governance to maintain a cohesive knowledge base.

Yes, you can initialize a new Obsidian vault following the LLM Wiki three-layer pattern. The Skill guides you to create your first pages with proper frontmatter and wikilinks, prescribing categories, projects, and cross-link conventions to support scalable knowledge management across domains.

The best way to maintain a persistent knowledge base is to compile and distill sources into an Obsidian wiki that remains current. By applying schema-based governance and frontmatter-driven metadata, the wiki persists knowledge over time rather than re-deriving information on every query.

Frontmatter-driven metadata and cross-linking support wiki structure decisions by enforcing schema-based governance across pages. These conventions standardize categories, projects, and cross-links, ensuring the knowledge base remains navigable and scalable across different domains.

You should avoid a three-layer wiki architecture when your knowledge management needs are temporary or when your workflow does not benefit from persistent compilation. If your tasks require re-deriving information on every query rather than maintaining a long-term, navigable Obsidian wiki, this structured approach adds unnecessary overhead.
