Introduction

What is LongtermWiki?

LongtermWiki is a monorepo framework for building LLM-assisted knowledge bases. It provides:

1. Shared UI components (@cairn/ui) - Graph visualizations, shadcn/ui components
2. Shared design tokens (@cairn/tailwind) - Consistent theming across sites
3. Site templates - Astro + Starlight configurations
