Lint Protocol

Type: concept Tags: llm-wiki, claude-code, token-efficiency

Summary

Periodic health checks Claude runs over the wiki to find structural problems, knowledge gaps, and under-connected nodes. Analogous to a code linter but for a knowledge graph.

Trigger

Ask Claude: “Please lint the wiki.”

Steps

  1. Scan all wiki pages for:
    • Broken [[links]] (references to pages that don’t exist)
    • Missing required fields
    • Sparse content (pages with too little information)
  2. Identify under-connected nodes (pages with few or no backlinks)
  3. Suggest source articles or topics that would fill knowledge gaps
  4. Optionally web-search to fill in missing factual data
  5. Log lint results to wiki/log.md

Frequency

Run as needed — andrej-karpathy suggests periodic lint runs (daily/weekly) to keep the wiki healthy as it grows.

Value

  • Keeps the wiki navigable as it scales
  • Surfaces blind spots (“I don’t fully understand X — can you grab more articles?“)
  • Maintains relationship quality across the graph
