Installation

Install the LLM Wiki Compiler plugin into Claude Code.

Prerequisites

You need Claude Code installed before proceeding. The plugin runs inside Claude Code and adds the /wiki-* commands to your sessions.

Install methods

From GitHub (recommended)

Install once and the plugin is available across all your Claude Code sessions.

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/ussumant/llm-wiki-compiler.git
   
2. Add as a local marketplace

   claude plugin marketplace add /path/to/llm-wiki-compiler
   

   Replace /path/to/llm-wiki-compiler with the actual path where you cloned the repo.

3. Install the plugin

   claude plugin install llm-wiki-compiler
   
4. Restart Claude Code

   Restart Claude Code for the plugin hooks to register. The /wiki-* commands and the session startup hook will not be active until you do this.

Single session (no install)

Use this if you want to try the plugin without a permanent install. The plugin is active only for the duration of that Claude Code session.

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/llm-wiki-compiler/plugin

The session-start hook that surfaces wiki context automatically does not activate with --plugin-dir. Use the GitHub install method for full functionality.

Verify the install

After restarting Claude Code, open any project and type /wiki — you should see the available commands: /wiki-init, /wiki-compile, /wiki-ingest, /wiki-search, /wiki-query, /wiki-lint, and /wiki-upgrade.

Updating

From inside Claude Code, run:

/wiki-upgrade

This pulls the latest version from GitHub and shows you what changed. Restart Claude Code after updating to load new commands and hooks.

If /wiki-upgrade is not available (you installed an older version), update manually:

cd /path/to/llm-wiki-compiler && git pull
claude plugin update llm-wiki-compiler

Then restart Claude Code.
