What it does
LLM Wiki is an agent skill from CharlesHoskinson/sevenlayer. Builds and maintains a persistent, interlinked Obsidian-compatible markdown knowledge wiki in a git repo via three operations — ingest a source into linked pages, answer a question from the accumulated wiki with citations, and lint the wiki for orphans, broken links, and contradictions. Use when the user asks to ingest or add a source into their wiki or knowledge base, init or grow such a wiki, ask what their wiki says about a topic, or lint and health-check it. Do not use for ad-hoc note-taking, code comments…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 29 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/category-index-template.md`, `assets/index-template.md` and `assets/log-template.md`). Compatibility notes: Base wiki ops need git (+ Python 3 for optional scripts). Web scraping (fetch/crawl) is optional and works only in local Claude Code with network access —…
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering LLM wikis, Linting and formatting and Technical documentation. It works with Git and Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: A Complete Guide to Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to ingest
- Add a source into their wiki
- Grow such a wiki
- Ask what their wiki says about a topic
Example prompts
- “Use the llm-wiki skill to build and maintains a persistent, interlinked Obsidian-compatible markdown knowledge wiki in a git repo via three…”
- “/llm-wiki”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Base wiki ops need git (+ Python 3 for optional scripts). Web scraping (fetch/crawl) is optional and works only in local Claude Code with network access — install Scrapling + trafilatura + a headless browser. Paper/PDF extraction needs pypdf. Scraping is unavailable on the Claude API sandbox (no network/installs) and unreliable on claude.ai.
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(python3 *)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2789e5a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash(python3 *)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Base wiki ops need git (+ Python 3 for optional scripts). Web scraping (fetch/crawl) is optional and works only in local Claude Code with network access — install Scrapling + trafilatura + a headless browser. Paper/PDF extraction needs pypdf. Scraping is unavailable on the Claude API sandbox (no network/installs) and unreliable on claude.ai.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
LLM Wiki loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~24k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 616 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 616 words (~1,468 tokens).
“Knowledge is compiled once on ingest and kept current, so synthesis, cross-references, and contradictions already exist before any question is asked — the opposite of query-time RAG, where the model re-derives everything from raw chunks on every query.”

LLM Wiki is an agent skill from CharlesHoskinson/sevenlayer. Builds and maintains a persistent, interlinked Obsidian-compatible markdown knowledge wiki in a git repo via three operations — ingest a source into linked pages, answer a question from the accumulated wiki with citations, and lint the wiki for orphans, broken links, and contradictions.
When should I use LLM Wiki?
LLM Wiki fits situations like: the user asks to ingest; add a source into their wiki; grow such a wiki; ask what their wiki says about a topic.
How do I install LLM Wiki in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add CharlesHoskinson/sevenlayer --skill llm-wiki -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/llm-wiki in CharlesHoskinson/sevenlayer) into .claude/skills/llm-wiki in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install LLM Wiki in Codex?
Run `npx skills add CharlesHoskinson/sevenlayer --skill llm-wiki -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/llm-wiki in CharlesHoskinson/sevenlayer) into .agents/skills/llm-wiki in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use LLM Wiki in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add CharlesHoskinson/sevenlayer --skill llm-wiki -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/llm-wiki, .gemini/skills/llm-wiki, .github/skills/llm-wiki and .opencode/skills/llm-wiki in your project.
What does LLM Wiki need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: LLM Wiki is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash(python3 *). Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Base wiki ops need git (+ Python 3 for optional scripts). Web scraping (fetch/crawl) is optional and works only in local Claude Code with network access — install Scrapling + trafilatura + a headless browser. Paper/PDF extraction needs pypdf. Scraping is unavailable on the Claude API sandbox (no network/installs) and unreliable on claude.ai..
Does LLM Wiki access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is LLM Wiki safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does LLM Wiki use?
LLM Wiki has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does LLM Wiki use?
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 23k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to LLM Wiki?
