From source in a clone of this repo:

uv sync --extra dev --frozen

Usage

Initialize a repository:

What claude-wiki init creates

my-project/
├── .claude-wiki.lock              # per-repo config (machine-managed)
├── .claude/settings.local.json   # repo-local hook registration (default)
└── daily/                         # conversation logs (created on first flush)

Use claude-wiki init --global to write hooks to ~/.claude/settings.json instead.

Configuration

.claude-wiki.lock fields:

{
  "repo_name": "my-project",
  "repo_owner": "local",
  "kb_dir": "project",
  "daily_dir": "daily",
  "reports_dir": "reports",
  "timezone": "UTC",
  "compile_after_hour": 18
}

Set CLAUDE_WIKI_PROJECT_DIR to override the knowledge base location.
