A wiki that gives AI context
I have set up LLM wikis for multiple clients: a maintained record of their projects, preferences, and decisions that their AI tools can return to.
The purpose
A new chat often starts with the same explanation of who you are, what you are building, and what was decided last time.
How it works
Context that stays with the work
Existing material becomes a user-owned wiki. New work draws on it, and later decisions feed back into it.

My part
I structured the wiki, connected it to each user's agent instructions, and guided them through keeping it useful.
In practice
Project context survives a chat session and can be reused by the user's configured AI tools.
A wiki needs upkeep. It gives the agent relevant context, not perfect recall or permission to act.
