pensar: LLM Wiki Engine

Personal wiki engine with a large language model (LLM) as research assistant. Supports guided sessions through a 'Claude Code' <https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code> skill bundle and autonomous research runs from R via autoresearch(). Results land in a structured vault of markdown pages with 'YAML' frontmatter and wikilinks, ready for hand-editing in your favourite editor alongside the LLM. Vaults are seeded with 'CLAUDE.md' and 'AGENTS.md' so 'Claude Code', 'Codex' <https://github.com/openai/codex>, and other agents share the same operating instructions. Can adopt an existing 'Obsidian' <https://obsidian.md/> vault in place via init_vault(adopt = TRUE).
