0.5.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

LLM Wiki Compiler is a CLI tool in active development (v0.5.1) that compiles raw sources (URLs, files) into an interlinked markdown wiki with claim-level provenance, semantic search, and MCP server integration for AI agents. It supports Anthropic, OpenAI, and Ollama providers, with configurable timeouts. Key differentiators: incremental compilation, Obsidian-compatible wikilinks, and provider-agnostic design.

Common errors

error ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED ↓

cause v0.5.0 deep imports into youtube-transcript that does not expose that subpath.

fix

npm install -g llm-wiki-compiler@0.5.1

error Error: No LLM provider configured ↓

cause Missing LLMWIKI_PROVIDER or provider-specific API key.

fix

Set LLMWIKI_PROVIDER and corresponding API key environment variable.

Warnings

breaking v0.5.0 crashes on startup with 'ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED' due to deep import into youtube-transcript. ↓

fix Upgrade to v0.5.1: npm install -g llm-wiki-compiler@0.5.1

gotcha Anthropic provider requires either ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN; order of precedence: shell env, .env, then Claude Code settings. ↓

fix Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in shell or .env file.

gotcha OpenAI provider requires OPENAI_BASE_URL to include '/v1' (e.g., http://host:port/v1). ↓

fix Ensure OPENAI_BASE_URL ends with /v1.

Install

npm install llm-wiki-compiler

yarn add llm-wiki-compiler

pnpm add llm-wiki-compiler

Imports

default
wrong
```
const llmwiki = require('llm-wiki-compiler')
```
correct
```
import llmwiki from 'llm-wiki-compiler'
```
This is a CLI tool primarily used via npx or global install, not as a library. Import only works if package exports a programmatic API (currently not documented).
compile
```
import { compile } from 'llm-wiki-compiler'
```
No programmatic API is officially exported for v0.5.x; use CLI commands instead.
ingest
```
import { ingest } from 'llm-wiki-compiler'
```
No programmatic API is officially exported for v0.5.x; use CLI commands instead.

Quickstart

Global install, set Anthropic API key, ingest a URL, compile sources into wiki, then ask a question.
