## Thinking Path > - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies. > - The plugin system is the extension surface for optional product capabilities without baking every workflow into core. > - The LLM Wiki plugin package was reviewed in stacked PR #5592, which targeted `pap-9173-llm-wiki-rest`. > - The stack base PR #5597 merged to `master` before #5592 was merged into that branch, so the plugin package never reached `master`. > - A direct PR from `pap-9173-llm-wiki-rest` back to `master` would be noisy because that branch has diverged from current `master`. > - This pull request reapplies the reviewed `packages/plugins/plugin-llm-wiki/` package onto current `master` and updates Docker deps-stage manifest coverage. > - The branch intentionally no longer changes `pnpm-workspace.yaml` after maintainer feedback; because the new package is now a root workspace importer, the remaining integration question is how maintainers want the root lockfile handled under the current PR policy. ## What Changed - Added the LLM Wiki plugin package under `packages/plugins/plugin-llm-wiki/` from the merged PR #5592 head. - Preserved the post-review cleanup from #5592: generated design/screenshot artifacts are not committed, and `src/ui/index.tsx` / `src/wiki.ts` are small public entrypoints. - Added the new plugin package manifest to the Docker deps stage so policy can validate package manifest coverage. - Removed the earlier `pnpm-workspace.yaml` exclusion per maintainer request, so the plugin is included by the existing `packages/plugins/*` workspace glob. ## Verification Current head: - PGlite migration harness: ran migrations 001-003, verified old non-space distillation unique constraints were removed, inserted duplicate cursor and work-item keys in a second space, then reran migration 003 successfully - `node ./scripts/check-docker-deps-stage.mjs` - `git diff --check` Known current-head install result after removing the workspace exclusion: - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` fails because `pnpm-lock.yaml` has no importer for `packages/plugins/plugin-llm-wiki/package.json`. Previously verified on the same plugin source before the workspace-exclusion removal: - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk build` - `cd packages/plugins/plugin-llm-wiki && pnpm install --lockfile=false && pnpm test` ## Risks - The branch now includes `packages/plugins/plugin-llm-wiki` in the root workspace but does not update `pnpm-lock.yaml`. Root frozen install will fail until maintainers choose a lockfile path that fits repo policy. - Committing `pnpm-lock.yaml` directly on this PR conflicts with the current PR policy check, while excluding the package from `pnpm-workspace.yaml` was rejected in maintainer feedback. - The package includes UI code already reviewed in #5592; generated screenshot/design artifacts were intentionally removed per maintainer request, so visual review should regenerate screenshots locally if needed. - The package depends on plugin host support from #5597, which is already merged to `master`. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used - OpenAI GPT-5 Codex via Codex CLI, tool use and local code execution enabled; context window not exposed. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have run the targeted checks listed above - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [ ] If this change affects the UI, I have included before/after screenshots - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge Stack context: #5592 was merged into `pap-9173-llm-wiki-rest` after #5597 had already merged that branch to `master`, so this follow-up PR is needed to carry the plugin package itself into `master`.

LLM Wiki
Local-file LLM Wiki plugin for source ingestion, wiki browsing, query, lint, and maintenance workflows.
Scope
This package is the standalone home for LLM Wiki behavior. Wiki-specific routes, UI, prompts, tools, local-folder templates, migrations, fixtures, and tests live here rather than in Paperclip core.
The alpha surface includes:
- manifest-declared Wiki page, sidebar entry, and settings page
- trusted local folder declaration for
raw/,wiki/,AGENTS.md,IDEA.md,wiki/index.md, andwiki/log.md - plugin database namespace migration for wiki instances, sources, pages, operations, query sessions, and resource bindings
- managed
Wiki Maintaineragent, managedLLM Wikiproject, and paused managed routines for wiki update processing, lint, and index refresh - plugin-operation issue creation using
surfaceVisibility: "plugin_operation" - local source capture into
raw/with metadata rows in the plugin DB namespace - opt-in company-scoped Paperclip event ingestion controls for issues, comments, and documents; event ingestion is disabled by default and routes captured raw provenance into the default space only
- manual Paperclip project/root issue distillation and bounded backfill actions with explicit work items, operation issues, source caps, and estimated cost recording
- Paperclip-derived distillation (cursor windows, manual
distill-now, backfill) always writes into the default wiki space in Phase 1; non-default spaces remain on manual / raw-file ingest until per-space Paperclip ingestion profiles ship - Paperclip-derived distillation maintains
wiki/projects/<slug>/standup.mdas the executive current-state view for each represented project, alongside durablewiki/projects/<slug>/index.mdknowledge pages - wiki page writes with plugin path validation, atomic local-folder writes, metadata/revision rows, backlink extraction, and optional stale-hash protection
- wiki tools for search/read/write/propose patch/source/log/index/backlinks workflows
Phase 5 Security Gate
Paperclip-derived text ingestion stays limited to issue titles/descriptions, issue comments, and issue documents.
- Issue attachments/assets are metadata-only in Phase 5.
- Issue work products are metadata-only in Phase 5.
- The wiki must not fetch
/api/assets/:id/content, dereference work-producturlfields, or store those capability-bearing links in source bundles/snapshots.
The accepted policy lives in doc/plans/2026-05-06-llm-wiki-paperclip-asset-security-gate.md.
Development
pnpm install
pnpm dev # watch builds
pnpm dev:ui # local dev server with hot-reload events
pnpm test
From the Paperclip repo root:
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki test
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki build
Alpha Verification
Run these commands from the Paperclip repo root before handing off alpha plugin changes:
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki test
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki build
The focused Vitest suite covers:
- standalone package boundaries and package-local harness dependencies
- required local folder bootstrap writes
- raw source capture plus ingest metadata persistence
- hidden plugin-operation issue creation for ingest/query/file-as-page workflows
- disabled and enabled Paperclip event ingestion paths
- managed routine declarations, manual distill/backfill work items, source cap handling, and backfill project/date scoping
- atomic page writes, metadata/revision rows, backlinks, and stale-hash refusal
- query session creation, run-id recording, stream event forwarding, and completion updates
- filing a streamed query answer back into the wiki through a hidden operation
Remaining alpha gaps:
- Browser screenshot capture is maintained separately under
tests/screenshots; generatedscreenshots/outputs are local artifacts and are ignored by git. - Host-level plugin install and live agent invocation still need Paperclip server/runtime smoke coverage when preparing a release candidate.
Install Into Paperclip
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3100/api/plugins/install \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"packageName":"/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-3179-design-a-llm-wiki-plugin/packages/plugins/plugin-llm-wiki","isLocalPath":true}'
Build Options
pnpm builduses esbuild presets from@paperclipai/plugin-sdk/bundlers.pnpm build:rollupuses rollup presets from the same SDK.
After changing manifest-loaded assets such as skills, agent instructions, or templates, recompile the local plugin before re-enabling it:
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki build
The package-local dist/ directory is ignored by git, but local Paperclip
installs load the compiled dist/manifest.js and dist/worker.js files at
runtime. If activation failed before the rebuild, re-enable the plugin or
restart the Paperclip dev server so the host imports the fresh bundle.

Use the settings page or bootstrap-root action to configure the folder and
write the starter files. The plugin uses Paperclip's local folder API for path
containment, symlink checks, read/write validation, and atomic writes.
Bootstrap preserves existing files rather than overwriting operator edits. The
default first-install skeleton is copied from the vanilla LLM Wiki layout, with
CLAUDE.md renamed to AGENTS.md and Paperclip project overviews, standups,
decisions, and history kept together under wiki/projects/<slug>/.
Managed Agent Instructions
Plugin-managed agent instruction bundles live under:
agents/<agent-key>/AGENTS.md
For this plugin the Wiki Maintainer source bundle is agents/wiki-maintainer/AGENTS.md.
Any additional files in that folder are installed as sibling instruction files
for the managed agent. The settings health check reports drift from these
defaults, and resetting the managed agent asks for confirmation before replacing
customized instructions.
