Procedural Knowledge
description
Knowing how — workflows, rules, and executable processes rather than static facts.

Procedural knowledge is "knowing how": skills, workflows, validation rules, and repeatable processes. It contrasts with Declarative Knowledge ("knowing what")—facts, classifications, and relationships stored as data.

In a semantic Personal Knowledge wiki, procedural knowledge often lives in tooling rather than prose alone:

An LLM Wiki pairs declarative frontmatter (facts in the graph) with this procedural layer so notes stay structured and self-updating.
