# Start Here

AIWikis.org is easiest to use when you choose the task first. It is not only a list of files. It is a routed memory system with public explanations, source-system hubs, generated evidence pages, reports, and source-side long memory.

## If You Are New

1. Read What Is an LLM Wiki? (source-relative: ./003-what-is-an-llm-wiki.md) for the basic idea.
2. Read How To Build an LLM Wiki (source-relative: ./004-how-to-build-an-llm-wiki.md) for the sequence.
3. Read AIWikis Memory and Site Structure (source-relative: ./067-aiwikis-memory-and-site-structure.md) to understand the public pages, generated evidence pages, source-side wiki, and raw archive boundary.
4. Use [Search](/search/) when you know a word or source name.
5. Use [Topics](/org/topics/) when you want concept navigation.

## If You Need Source Authority

1. Start with Source Map (source-relative: ./009-source-map.md) to identify the source owner.
2. Use Memory Coverage Matrix (source-relative: ./029-memory-coverage-matrix.md) to check whether AIWikis has enough local evidence.
3. Use Claim Boundary Register (source-relative: ./029-claim-boundary-register.md) before writing public claims, package notes, roadmap language, or AI handoff summaries.

## If You Are Maintaining AIWikis

1. Read Information Architecture and Search Guide (source-relative: ./066-information-architecture-and-search.md) before changing page names, URL hierarchy, route metadata, JSON-LD fields, search records, or SEO descriptions.
2. Read Source Memory Operations Playbook (source-relative: ./028-source-memory-operations-playbook.md) before changing source sync, archive consolidation, handoff export, generated evidence, or package-ready memory.
3. Read Source-Site Outcome Routing (source-relative: ./031-source-site-outcome-routing.md) when source-site staged work is expected to become visible on AIWikis.
4. Read Intake Outcome Ledger (source-relative: ./016-intake-outcome-ledger.md) when a dropped file has been digested and the human needs to know what happened.
5. Read Roadmap (source-relative: ./017-roadmap.md) for current, next, later, and blocked work.

## If You Are An AI Agent

1. Load the smallest page set that can answer the task.
2. Prefer [Search](/search/), [Topics](/org/topics/), source-system hubs, and source guides before opening generated file evidence.
3. Use generated site-scoped `/{site}/files/...` pages such as `/uaix/files/...`, `/llmwikis/files/...`, `/protocol5/files/...`, and `/justaniota/files/...` only when you need provenance, source references, hashes, bounded previews, or source-file history.
4. Use Deep Cognitive Archive (source-relative: ./015-deep-cognitive-archive.md) when the task needs reasoning history, rejected alternatives, contradictions, or lineage.
5. Use System Memory Archive (source-relative: ./014-system-memory-archive.md) for long-term memory only after source-site files have normal dispositions or explicit human approval.
6. Stop at human approval boundaries for policy, security, privacy, legal, production, architecture, or sensitive changes.

## Fast Route Index

- Learn: What Is an LLM Wiki? (source-relative: ./003-what-is-an-llm-wiki.md), How To Build an LLM Wiki (source-relative: ./004-how-to-build-an-llm-wiki.md), Agent Rules (source-relative: ./007-agent-rules.md), Governance (source-relative: ./008-governance.md).
- Find: [Search](/search/), [Topics](/org/topics/), [Source Provenance](/org/source-provenance/), [Site Directory](/site/), [Reports](/org/reports/).
- Operate: Cross-Site Memory Atlas (source-relative: ./027-cross-site-memory-atlas.md), Source Memory Operations Playbook (source-relative: ./028-source-memory-operations-playbook.md), Source-Site Outcome Routing (source-relative: ./031-source-site-outcome-routing.md).
- Verify: Memory Coverage Matrix (source-relative: ./029-memory-coverage-matrix.md), Claim Boundary Register (source-relative: ./029-claim-boundary-register.md), Source Packages (source-relative: ./005-source-packages.md), Changelog (source-relative: ./010-changelog.md).

Why This File Exists

This is a public content source file from aiwikis.org. It is shown here because AIWikis.org is demonstrating the real source files that make the UAIX / LLM Wiki memory system work, not only summarizing those systems after the fact.

Role

This file is a focused source unit. Its path, headings, and metadata give an agent a retrieval handle that is smaller than loading the entire site or repository.

Structure

The file is structured around these visible headings: Start Here; If You Are New; If You Need Source Authority; If You Are Maintaining AIWikis; If You Are An AI Agent; Fast Route Index. Those headings are retrieval anchors: a crawler or LLM can decide whether the file is relevant before reading every line.

Prompt-Size And Retrieval Benefit

Keeping this material in a separate file reduces prompt pressure because an agent can load this exact unit only when its role, source site, category, or hash is relevant. The surrounding index pages point to it, while this page preserves the full content for audit and exact recall.

How To Use It

• Humans should read the metadata first, then inspect the raw content when they need exact wording or provenance.
• LLMs and agents should use the source site, category, hash, headings, and related files to decide whether this file belongs in the active prompt.
• Crawlers should treat the AIWikis page as transparent evidence and follow the source URL/source reference for authority boundaries.
• Future maintainers should regenerate this page whenever the source hash changes, then review the explanation if the role or structure changed.

Update Requirements

When this source file changes, update the raw source layer, normalized source layer, hash history, this rendered page, generated explanation, source-file inventory, changed-files report, and any source-section index that links to it.
