Wiki Schema
Domain
Project engineering notes and general learning — technical topics, tool workflows, architecture decisions, lessons learned, and knowledge accumulated across projects.
Conventions
- File names: lowercase, hyphens, no spaces (e.g.,
nextjs-api-design.md) - Every wiki page starts with YAML frontmatter (see below)
- Use
[wikilinks](/wikilinks)to link between pages (minimum 2 outbound links per page) - When updating a page, always bump the
updateddate - Every new page must be added to
index.mdunder the correct section - Every action must be appended to
log.md - raw/ directory is immutable — corrections go in wiki pages, never modify raw sources

Page Thresholds
- Create a page when an entity/concept appears in 2+ sources OR is central to one source
- Add to existing page when a source mentions something already covered
- DON'T create a page for passing mentions, minor details, or things outside the domain
- Split a page when it exceeds ~200 lines — break into sub-topics with cross-links
- Archive a page when its content is fully superseded — move to
_archive/, remove from index
Entity Pages
One page per notable entity. Include:
- Overview / what it is
- Key facts and dates
- Relationships to other entities (wikilinks)
- Source references
Concept Pages
One page per concept or topic. Include:
- Definition / explanation
- Current state of knowledge
- Open questions or debates
- Related concepts (wikilinks)
Comparison Pages
Side-by-side analyses. Include:
- What is being compared and why
- Dimensions of comparison (table format preferred)
- Verdict or synthesis
- Sources
Update Policy
When new information conflicts with existing content:
- Check the dates — newer sources generally supersede older ones
- If genuinely contradictory, note both positions with dates and sources
- Mark the contradiction in frontmatter:
contradictions: [page-name] - Flag for user review in the lint report
