llm-wiki

Build and maintain a structured LLM-generated wiki for any codebase. Use when the user asks to analyze/understand/document a codebase, build a code wiki, create project documentation from source, or update an existing .llm-wiki. Triggers on phrases like "build wiki", "analyze this codebase", "document this project", "update wiki", "llm-wiki", or when entering an unfamiliar project that has no .llm-wiki yet.

# LLM Wiki for Codebases

Build a persistent, interlinked markdown wiki that captures the architecture, modules, patterns, and APIs of a codebase. The wiki lives in `.llm-wiki/` at the project root. Humans curate and direct; the LLM handles all bookkeeping.

Based on [Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f): raw sources are "compiled" into a structured wiki that compounds over time.

## Mode Detection

Determine the mode based on current state:

- **No `.llm-wiki/` directory exists** -> Full Build mode
- **`.llm-wiki/` exists** -> Update mode (diff and refresh)
