• Abstract: Research projects, educational efforts, and adjacent knowledge work accumulate findings, decisions, and reasoning that future collaborators rarely recover. The parts most useful to that work, including dead ends and walked-back claims, are routinely excluded from publications and shared code; future researchers re-attempt the same failures because no record survives. LLM coding agents are common participants but hold no persistent memory across sessions, and retrieval-augmented generation over raw sources does not compound. The llm-wiki pattern (Karpathy, 2026; tonbi, 2026) addresses this by inserting an LLM-maintained, interlinked wiki between raw sources and the agent. We present llm-wiki-memory-template, a reusable, agent-aware instantiation, and argue it is a substrate for heterogeneous collaborative knowledge work along three axes (multi-human, multi-AI-agent, multi-domain) with each axis supported by a distinct architectural element of the template (§4). The wiki is append-only by convention, which preserves what did not work alongside what did, addressing a negative-result loss problem that publications and code-sharing structurally cannot solve. Three deployed case studies and one design report cover the axes individually: a solo research lineage that preserves abandoned iterations; a two-author project whose retroactive audit revised two prior experiments' claimed 20-of-20 coverage down to 14 and 12 evidence-based answers, then to 18 and 18 after a fix, with the failure path preserved across the artifact; an in-progress multi-agent deployment reported as a design; and a cross-domain educational variant. We name failure-path preservation, agent honesty, and appropriation as cross-cutting sociotechnical properties of the artifact, not only of its technical mechanisms.
