Llm wiki provenance

LLM-Wiki Provenance

Goal

Make important wiki claims traceable to raw sources or clearly mark them as unsupported, inferred, or ambiguous.

When to use

• A page has claims with no visible link back to raw/ sources or source pages.
• A generated summary cites another generated summary instead of an original source.
• Support labels (extracted, inferred, synthesis, unsupported) look wrong or are missing.
• The user asks for a provenance gap report before assigning stable IDs.
• Current-state or status claims need re-verified evidence rather than an assumed link.
• Do not use this skill to insert stable IDs; hand that off to llm-wiki-claim-anchors.

Inputs

• Target pages or folders.
• raw/ and wiki/ locations.
• Existing source pages, hashes and frontmatter if present.
• Desired mode: report-only or patch.

Procedure

1. Select provenance level

Use the smallest useful level:

Level	Meaning
source-level	Page links to the source page or raw source.
claim-level	Individual claims link to supporting source sections or anchors.
audit-ready	Claims include source path, hash, date, model, confidence and review state.

2. Extract claims

For each target page, identify factual claims, recommendations, current-state statements and synthesis claims.

Classify support:

extracted | inferred | ambiguous | synthesis | unsupported | conflicting

Use extracted for claims directly stated in inspected sources. Use synthesis only for editorial conclusions drawn across sources; keep the source links visible.

3. Locate evidence

Search source pages and raw sources. Do not invent evidence. If evidence is not found, mark a gap instead of rewriting the claim.

4. Produce provenance patches

In patch mode, add backlinks near claims using the vault's preferred style. Examples:

- Claim text. Source: [[sources/source-title#section]]

or frontmatter:

source_paths:
  - raw/sources/example.md

5. Create a gap report

Group gaps by severity:

• high-impact unsupported claims;
• generated pages citing generated pages;
• stale current-state claims;
• inferred claims presented as extracted;
• ambiguous claims outside review queues.

Output

## Provenance summary

## Pages inspected

## Claims classified

## Provenance added or proposed

## Unsupported claims

## Conflicts and ambiguities

## Suggested next sources

Safety gates

• Do not fabricate citations or anchors.
• Do not mark unsupported claims as verified.
• Do not silently rewrite claims to fit available evidence.
• Do not expose sensitive source excerpts unnecessarily.
• If evidence conflicts, hand off to llm-wiki-conflict-resolver.
