LLM-Wiki Refactor

Goal

Reorganize existing documents into a safe LLM-Wiki without losing provenance, breaking links, or overwriting human synthesis.

When to use

• The user has an approved migration plan and wants to physically reorganize an existing docs folder, Obsidian vault, or note collection into LLM-Wiki structure.
• Existing notes contain human-authored synthesis, Obsidian wikilinks, or attachments that must survive the move without breaking.
• The user needs frontmatter normalized, raw/wiki content separated, or protected pages preserved during restructuring.
• Do not use this skill for planning-only work with no filesystem writes; route that to llm-wiki-migration-planner instead.

Inputs

• Existing docs/vault/repository path.
• Desired target: personal vault, repo wiki, team knowledge base or product prototype.
• Whether changes should be dry-run only or applied.
• Existing conventions: folders, tags, frontmatter, wikilinks, docs generator.

Procedure

1. Preflight

Before applying changes:

• confirm git or backup exists;
• identify generated vs human-authored content;
• identify sensitive data;
• detect Obsidian wikilinks and attachments;
• find existing indexes, READMEs, ADRs, changelogs and source folders.

If no backup/git exists, produce a migration plan only.

2. Inventory

Produce counts by file type and rough category:

• raw sources;
• source summaries;
• entity/concept pages;
• project docs;
• decisions/ADRs;
• query-like notes;
• assets;
• unknown or mixed files.

3. Propose target mapping

Default mapping:

original raw documents -> raw/sources/
images/media/assets    -> raw/assets/
source summaries       -> wiki/sources/
people/orgs/tools      -> wiki/entities/
mechanisms/ideas       -> wiki/concepts/
trade-off docs         -> wiki/comparisons/
reviewed conclusions   -> wiki/synthesis/
chat/research answers  -> wiki/queries/

4. Create a dry-run plan

Do not move files immediately. Produce:

## Migration plan
 
| Current path | Proposed path | Page type | Confidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|---:|---|

Flag low-confidence moves and protected pages.

5. Apply in batches only when approved

When the user approves apply mode:

• create a branch;
• move files in small batches;
• preserve links and attachments;
• add or normalize frontmatter;
• create wiki/index.md and wiki/log.md if missing;
• run wiki-lint and re-verify that internal links resolve after each batch, before moving on to the next one.

6. Preserve human synthesis

Detect and preserve sections such as:

• ## My synthesis
• ## Opinion
• ## Notes to self
• <!-- human-owned:start -->

Do not rewrite these sections. Add protected markers if useful.

Output

## Refactor summary
 
## Inventory
 
## Proposed structure
 
## Migration table
 
## High-risk items
 
## Commands or file operations
 
## Post-migration lint findings

Safety gates

• No deletion without explicit confirmation.
• No apply mode without git or backup.
• No silent conversion of wikilinks to Markdown links.
• No flattening of raw sources into summaries.
• No bulk frontmatter migration without dry-run.
