Markdown + Obsidian + Claude Code (or any agent CLI). The wiki is yours; the assistant maintains it for you.

README.md

An AI-maintained knowledge base that tracks your work, projects, people, hobbies, and decisions — so you can focus on living instead of remembering.

What it feels like

Drop a meeting transcript in raw/, say "ingest this" — your wiki gets the decisions, action items, and people pages linked together. Say "/morning-brief" the next day — you get the relevant context for what's ahead. Six months in, "/prep coffee with Sam" pulls everything that matters: open threads, recent context, shared history, what you promised last time.

The wiki is the source of truth. The assistant maintains it for you.

The idea

Humans abandon wikis because the maintenance burden is relentless. AI doesn't get bored. The wiki compounds — every source ingested, every meeting processed, every question answered leaves structured knowledge behind. Cross-references are already there. Contradictions get flagged. Synthesis keeps getting richer.

Six months from now, preparing for any conversation is a one-line command. Remembering the promise you made a friend three months ago is a conversation, not an archaeological dig. The system learns how you live and work.

Built on the LLM wiki pattern Karpathy described.
