Repo To Wiki

Turn source files into stable markdown pages that future Codex sessions can read instead of rediscovering the project.

Folder Shape

wiki/
  overview.md
  architecture.md
  setup.md
  concepts/
  decisions/
  sources.md

Build Order

Create wiki/sources.md with repo URLs, local paths, commit/date if known.
Create wiki/overview.md from README and manifests.
Create wiki/architecture.md from entry points and module layout.
Create focused concept pages only when they remove repeated context.
Cross-link pages with relative markdown links.

Page Contract

Each page should include:

purpose
evidence/source files
current understanding
open questions
last reviewed date

Rules

Source files remain the source of truth.
Keep wiki pages concise and updateable.
Do not invent details when source evidence is thin.
Use exact file links or paths for traceability.

Reference pattern source: sources/llmwiki.

Skip When

The user only needs a short one-time repo summary.
Source evidence is too thin to maintain living docs.

Validation

Wiki pages cite source files or URLs and last-reviewed dates.
Broad examples stay in concept/reference pages, not the overview.
Open questions are preserved instead of inventing missing architecture.

What ships with it

Read from the repository
