Implements LLM-compiled wiki layer between raw session logs and live CONTEXT.md, inspired by Karpathy's knowledge base workflow. Adds wiki/ directory structure, article templates, spec docs, and seeds first two articles (Cascades of Tucson, GuruRMM) from 60+ session logs. Updates CLAUDE.md to check wiki first on all context-loading triggers. Captures verified ACG IP/hostname map and Neptune physical-location clarification (Dataforth D2, subnet overlap TODO) in memory.

Wiki Layer — Implementation Plan
Status: Phase 1 in progress (Cascades + GuruRMM seeded 2026-05-24)
Phase 0 — Structure (no code, low effort, high foundation value)
Goal: Create the directory skeleton and article templates. Nothing else runs yet.
Tasks
- Create
wiki/root withindex.mdstub - Create
wiki/clients/,wiki/projects/,wiki/systems/,wiki/patterns/directories - Write article templates (see
standards.md) - Add
.gitkeepfiles so empty dirs commit - Verify GrepAI watcher picks up
wiki/automatically (it should — it watches the repo root) - Add
wiki/mention toCLAUDE.mdcontext-loading section (readwiki/<topic>.mdwhen topic is known)
Done when: Directory exists, templates written, GrepAI indexes it.
Phase 1 — Seed Pass (high effort, immediate ROI)
Goal: Compile first-pass wiki articles for the two highest-value targets: GuruRMM and Cascades.
Approach
Run /wiki-compile manually, read and correct output, commit. This is a supervised pass — we're validating the compilation quality before automating.
Tasks
- Compile
wiki/projects/gururmm.mdfromprojects/msp-tools/guru-rmm/session-logs/+ root session logs mentioning GuruRMM - Compile
wiki/clients/cascades.mdfromclients/cascades/session-logs/+ root logs mentioning Cascades - Compile
wiki/systems/entries for Neptune, Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn (from session logs + credentials.md) - Mike reviews each article, corrects factual errors, commits
- Run second seed pass for remaining active clients and projects
Done when: All active clients and systems have wiki articles. Mike has reviewed at least Cascades + GuruRMM.
Phase 2 — /wiki-compile Command
Goal: Implement the compile command as a repeatable skill.
Command behavior
/wiki-compile [scope]
Scopes:
client:<name> Compile from clients/<name>/session-logs/ + matching root logs
project:<name> Compile from projects/<name>/session-logs/ + matching root logs
system:<name> Compile from all logs mentioning the system name or hostname
all Full pass — all articles, oldest-first by last_compiled date
Without scope: prompt user to select
Steps Claude takes when /wiki-compile is invoked
- Identify scope from argument
- Find relevant session logs (by directory + GrepAI keyword search)
- Read existing wiki article if it exists (note
last_compileddate) - Read session logs newer than
last_compiled(or all if new article) - Read relevant CONTEXT.md and memory entries for cross-reference
- Call Ollama (qwen3:8b) to generate/update the article
- Summarize new information, merge with existing
- Update backlinks section
- Update
last_compiledfrontmatter
- Present diff to user for review before writing
- On approval: write article, update
wiki/index.md
Tasks
- Write
.claude/commands/wiki-compile.md(the skill file) - Write Ollama prompt template for article compilation
- Implement index.md update logic
- Test with GuruRMM and Cascades
Done when: /wiki-compile client:cascades runs end-to-end, produces correct article, updates index.
Phase 3 — /context Integration
Goal: /context checks wiki before raw logs.
Updated /context flow
1. Search wiki/index.md for topic mentions
2. Read matching wiki/<type>/<name>.md articles (synthesized knowledge)
3. THEN search session logs for recent/specific detail not yet compiled
4. Check credentials.md for access details
5. Return synthesized answer: wiki content + relevant log excerpts
Tasks
- Update
.claude/commands/context.mdwith wiki-first search step - Add "Check wiki/index.md" as Step 1 in context command
- Add note: if topic has a wiki article, read it first; use logs only for recency
Done when: Running /context cascades returns the wiki article summary + any recent-session additions.
Phase 4 — /wiki-lint Command
Goal: Health-check the wiki for staleness and integrity issues.
Lint rules
| Rule | What It Checks | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Stale IPs | IPs in wiki vs CONTEXT.md + credentials.md | Flag discrepancies |
| Rate conflicts | Billing rates in wiki vs memory entries | Flag conflicts |
| Orphaned articles | Wiki articles with no session log activity in 90+ days | Flag for review/archive |
| Missing articles | Clients/projects mentioned in recent logs with no wiki article | Suggest compile |
| Broken backlinks | [[links]] pointing to non-existent articles |
Flag |
| Memory conflicts | Memory entries contradicting wiki facts | Flag with both versions |
Tasks
- Write
.claude/commands/wiki-lint.md - Implement lint checks
- Decide: run as scheduled cron or manual-only? (recommend: manual initially, cron after 30 days)
Done when: /wiki-lint runs, produces a report with actionable issues.
Phase 5 — /save Integration (optional, lower priority)
After writing session log, detect which clients/projects/systems were mentioned, prompt:
Session log saved. Detected topics: GuruRMM, Cascades.
Update wiki for these topics? [y/n]
If y: run /wiki-compile for each detected topic before sync.
Tasks
- Add topic detection to
/save(regex on session log content) - Add post-save wiki update prompt
- Wire through to
/wiki-compile
Migration Strategy
| What | Risk | How |
|---|---|---|
| Session logs | None | Not touched, wiki reads from them |
| CONTEXT.md | None | Not touched, wiki reads from it |
| Memory entries | Low | Wiki links to memory; memory links to wiki |
/context command |
Low | Additive — wiki step added before log search |
| GrepAI index | None | Automatic — picks up wiki/ files on next index cycle |
| Cross-machine sync | None | Wiki is tracked in Git, syncs via normal sync.sh |
No existing functionality is removed or broken. All changes are additive.
Recommended Start Order
Phase 0 (structure)— DONE 2026-05-24- Phase 1 seed:
- Cascades of Tucson —
wiki/clients/cascades-tucson.md— DONE 2026-05-24 - GuruRMM —
wiki/projects/gururmm.md— DONE 2026-05-24 - Systems: neptune, jupiter, pluto, saturn
wiki/overview.md— compile AFTER systems are seeded (reads other wiki articles)
- Cascades of Tucson —
- Phase 2 command — implement and test — 2-3 hours
- Phase 3 context integration — 30 minutes
- Phase 4 lint — schedule for after 30 days of real wiki use
- Phase 5 save integration — nice-to-have, do if Phase 1-4 prove value
Overview Article (added 2026-05-24)
wiki/overview.md — scope /wiki-compile overview
The "cold-start" doc. Compiles from other wiki articles (not raw logs directly), so it is cheap to maintain.
Sections:
- Team — Mike (admin/owner), Howard (tech/employee), machines, roles
- Active Clients — one-liner per client with billing type, hours, primary open project, link to wiki article
- Active Projects — one-liner per project with version/status, link to wiki article
- Key Infrastructure — what runs where (Neptune, Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, plus client-side infra)
- Tooling Stack — coord API, GrepAI, Ollama, SOPS vault, Gitea, Syncro PSA, GuruRMM
- State of the Business — current snapshot: active projects, open billing, near-term priorities
This article is the one Howard reads on a new machine before touching anything else.
