A backlink is the inverse of a concepts/wikilinks: "which other pages link to this one?"
Because the architecture/wiki-engine stores links as a (source, target) table, computing backlinks for a page is a one-row SQL lookup:
SELECT source FROM links WHERE target = ?No re-scan, no graph traversal at read time.
Every page in the architecture/web-ui shows a collapsible Linked from panel at the bottom listing all incoming backlinks. The agent sees the same thing via agents/mcp-tools — backlinks are part of the returned object.
Backlinks turn a wiki into a design/wikilinks-as-graph. They surface "what was I thinking about this from?" without forcing you to remember the source page. They're the primary way agents discover related context when reading a page they haven't seen before.
- concepts/wikilinks — the forward edge
- architecture/index-and-search — how the link table is maintained
- agents/workflows — patterns agents use with backlinks
