LLM Wiki Cadence Governance

LLM Wiki Cadence Governance

Use this skill when reviewing an llm-wiki repository, comparing it against current LLM/AI engineering concepts, or opening issues to keep the wiki useful for code development and repo architecture decisions.

Trigger Conditions

• User asks to review, refresh, or maintain an llm-wiki repository.
• User asks for a weekly cadence to keep AI/LLM concepts current.
• User asks what GitHub issues should be opened from an llm-wiki architecture/content gap review.
• A session produces llm-wiki maintenance artifacts that need durable closeout or restart handoff.

Core Principle

Treat llm-wiki as a development leverage system, not a passive knowledge base. Every review should connect external concept freshness, internal repo architecture gaps, and actionable GitHub issues that move engineering work forward.

Weekly Cadence Workflow

1. Repository architecture inventory

   • Inspect current information architecture: domains, concept pages, source maps, graph/manifest generation, validation scripts, and docs reports.
   • Identify stale pages, orphaned nodes, weak cross-links, missing source citations, and concepts not tied to code-development use cases.

2. External concept freshness scan

   • Review current LLM/agent engineering topics relevant to the workspace: agents, tool use, RAG, context engineering, evals, model-routing, inference/serving, structured outputs, safety, data governance, and code-agent workflows.
   • Capture concepts as candidate deltas, not undigested research dumps.

3. Code-development usefulness mapping

   • For each candidate gap, ask: what repo decision, code pattern, evaluation, documentation contract, or automation pipeline would this improve?
   • Prioritize items that improve engineering velocity, correctness, agent routing, or reusable architecture guidance.

4. Issue portfolio creation

   • Open de-duplicated GitHub issues only after checking existing issues and plan state.
   • Prefer issue clusters by class: freshness pipeline, graph/index quality, source/citation governance, domain pages, code integration guides, eval/readiness scorecards.
   • Keep implementation gated by the workspace issue workflow: plan → adversarial review → user approval → TDD implementation.

5. Validation and closeout

   • Run the repo's available tests/validators for graph manifests, schemas, docs, and legal/public-safety gates before claiming readiness.
   • If closeout cannot finish, preserve restart state in a repo-tracked handoff with exact validation evidence, dirty files, issue status, and the next checkpoint.

Issue Quality Checklist

A good llm-wiki maintenance issue includes:

• Clear problem statement tied to code-development leverage.
• Current evidence path: repo files, generated reports, graph metrics, issue links, or source pages.
• Scope boundaries: what is in/out for this issue.
• Acceptance criteria with validation commands or report artifacts.
• Public/private data classification where source material may cross governance boundaries.
• Dependencies on existing architecture contracts, graph schema, citation model, or source-ingest workflows.

Pitfalls

• Do not create a flat backlog of generic “add topic X” issues. Tie each issue to a reusable architecture or development outcome.
• Do not treat external AI trends as authoritative without source provenance and update dates.
• Do not bypass issue planning gates just because the task is documentation-heavy.
• Do not close an llm-wiki issue after only generating reports; verify that committed files, pushed state, issue labels/comments, and tests all match the claimed closeout.
• Do not lose partial closeout state. If the session ends before commit/push/issue close, write a handoff first.
