/wiki-init

Bootstrap a new LLM Wiki vault. Creates raw/, wiki/{entities,concepts,sources,comparisons,synthesis}, the index and log, and installs the schema file(s) for your LLM CLI of choice.

Usage

/wiki-init <path> --topic "<one-line topic>"
/wiki-init <path> --topic "<topic>" --tool <claude-code|codex|cursor|antigravity|opencode|gemini-cli|all>
/wiki-init <path> --topic "<topic>" --force    # overwrite non-empty dir

Examples

/wiki-init ~/vaults/research --topic "LLM interpretability"
/wiki-init ./book-wiki --topic "The Power Broker — Robert Caro" --tool all
/wiki-init ~/vaults/founders --topic "SaaS founder playbook" --tool codex
