Llm Wiki Stack

Query the Wiki

1. Read wiki/index.md to find relevant pages
2. Read the relevant pages
3. Synthesise answer with citations: (source: [[Source Title]])
4. File good answers back as wiki/topics/<topic>.md — don't let synthesis disappear into chat history
5. Append to wiki/log.md — ## [YYYY-MM-DD] query | Question asked

Lint the Wiki

Run periodically or when wiki feels stale:

• Orphan pages (no inbound links)
• Contradictions between entity pages and source summaries
• Important concepts mentioned but lacking their own page
• Missing cross-references
• Suggest new sources based on open questions

Append results to wiki/log.md.

ByteRover Commands

ByteRover handles structured domain/project knowledge (context tree with recency decay).

# Add knowledge
brv curate "factual statement about a project or domain" 

# Query knowledge  
brv query "what do we know about X?"

# Sync to cloud
brv push

# Check status
brv status

When to use ByteRover vs wiki:

• ByteRover — structured project/domain facts (what Anvil does, benchmark numbers, ICP)
• Wiki — cross-domain synthesis, competitor landscape, market signals, research that spans projects

Schema

The vault's WIKI-SCHEMA.md (or named after your assistant) governs domain-specific update triggers — which pages to touch when specific events happen (competitor funding, benchmark run, positioning decision). Read it at the start of every wiki session.
