Concepts

The ideas behind the LLM Wiki pattern and the vocabulary OKF uses to formalize it.

The Pattern

• LLM Wiki - a persistent, LLM-maintained knowledge base that compiles knowledge once and keeps it current.
• Three-Layer Architecture - raw sources (immutable), the wiki (LLM-owned), and the schema (co-evolved config).
• Compounding Artifact - the wiki gets richer with every source and every query, rather than being re-derived.
• Progressive Disclosure - navigate a growing bundle one level at a time through index files.

Comparisons & Lineage

• RAG vs. LLM Wiki - retrieve-every-query vs. compile-once-and-maintain.
• Memex - Vannevar Bush's 1945 vision, and the maintenance problem that stalled it.

OKF Vocabulary

• Knowledge Bundle - a directory tree of concept documents; the unit of exchange.
• Concept Document - one markdown file with YAML frontmatter and a body.
