# LLM Wiki, AI Memory, and Project Handoff

These patterns solve related but different problems. Keeping them separate is what makes the system reviewable.

## Short Version

- LLM Wiki is the durable knowledge layer.
- AI Memory is the compact operating-context layer.
- Project Handoff is the transfer/takeover layer.
- Coding agents are execution layers.
- UAI-1 evidence is for public interoperability and support claims, not every internal note.

## Comparison

| Pattern | Best use | Typical files | Authority boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| LLM Wiki | Long-lived knowledge, source summaries, decisions, runbooks, contradiction records | `raw/`, `wiki/`, `index.md`, `log.md`, metadata | Background until reviewed and promoted |
| AI Memory | Current operating context for a task or project | Manifest, current state, decisions, next actions, risks | Decisive only inside scope and review state |
| Project Handoff | Transfer between humans, teams, vendors, or agents | `AGENTS.md`, `readme.human`, `.uai/*` | Transfer packet, not the whole knowledge base |
| UAI-1 evidence | Public machine-readable exchange and validation | UAI-1 messages, schemas, validator results | Evidence-bearing when UAIX routes support it |

## Routing Rule

- Need history, rationale, or source trails? Read the LLM Wiki.
- Need current working context? Read AI Memory.
- Need another actor to take over? Build Project Handoff.
- Need public interoperability evidence? Use UAI-1 schemas, examples, and validator output.

## Promotion Rule

Promotion is not synchronization. Preserve raw sources, compile reviewed wiki pages, export selected reviewed facts into AI Memory, create Project Handoff when responsibility moves, and attach UAI-1 validation only when public evidence is needed.

## Draft Source Basis

- All eight active Improvement reports.
- Existing `/llm-wiki-vs-ai-memory/`, `/reports/using-llm-wiki-with-uai/`, `/guides/agent-handoff-patterns/`, and `/architecture/memory-lifecycle/`.

Why This File Exists

This is a memory-system evidence 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 memory-system evidence. It records source history, archive transfer, intake disposition, or another piece of provenance that should be retrievable without becoming an unsupported public claim.

Structure

The file is structured around these visible headings: LLM Wiki, AI Memory, and Project Handoff; Short Version; Comparison; Routing Rule; Promotion Rule; Draft Source Basis. 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.
