## Thinking Path > - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies. > - Plugins extend the control plane with optional capabilities such as LLM Wiki. > - LLM Wiki needs its package assets and plugin-owned database migrations to work when installed from the packaged plugin. > - The bundled spaces migration used validation-hostile dynamic SQL, and the packaged plugin could omit non-dist runtime assets. > - This pull request makes the LLM Wiki package include its required assets and cuts the spaces migration over to explicit, idempotent SQL that passes the production plugin database validator. > - The benefit is a simpler plugin install path that validates and applies the bundled LLM Wiki migrations without adding plugin-specific legacy handling to Paperclip core. ## What Changed - Added the LLM Wiki package asset allowlist so agents, migrations, skills, templates, dist output, and README are included when packaged. - Renamed the bootstrap `.gitignore` template to `gitignore.template` and updated the runtime lookup so package tooling does not drop the hidden template file. - Relaxed plugin migration validation to allow namespace-scoped `INSERT`/`UPDATE` backfills and `CREATE INDEX` statements while continuing to reject destructive or cross-namespace SQL. - Replaced the LLM Wiki spaces migration's dynamic constraint-drop DO block with explicit `DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS` statements. - Replaced fragile regex-source dispatch in SQL reference extraction with explicit capture-group descriptors. - Added regression coverage that applies the bundled LLM Wiki migrations through the production validator and checks the expected constraints. ## Verification - `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server server/src/__tests__/plugin-database.test.ts --pool=forks --poolOptions.forks.isolate=true` - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki build` - `git diff --check` - Confirmed `pnpm-lock.yaml` is not included in the branch diff. ## Risks - Low migration risk for current users: LLM Wiki spaces are new, so this intentionally cuts over the plugin migration instead of adding legacy handling in core. - Validator behavior is broader than before, but still requires fully qualified plugin namespace targets, blocks deletes/destructive DDL, and keeps public table access read-only and allowlisted. > Checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md); this is a targeted plugin packaging/migration fix and does not duplicate planned core feature work. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 based coding agent, tool-enabled local repo access, reasoning mode managed by the Paperclip/Codex runtime. Exact context window was not surfaced in this session. ## 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 tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] 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 --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
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.
