llm-wiki

A reusable starter kit for running a markdown knowledge base as an LLM-maintained wiki — the pattern from Andrej Karpathy's "LLM as Wiki" gist. Instead of RAG (rediscovering knowledge from raw documents on every question), the LLM incrementally builds and maintains a persistent, interlinked wiki between you and your sources. Each source is read once and integrated everywhere it matters; the synthesis compounds.

Division of labor: the human curates sources, explores, and asks questions; the LLM does all the bookkeeping — summarizing, cross-referencing, filing, indexing — which is exactly the maintenance burden that makes humans abandon wikis.

Obsidian is the IDE; the LLM is the programmer; the wiki is the codebase. — Karpathy

Bootstrap a new wiki

• Copy this directory (minus this README's kit framing) to wherever the wiki lives,

git init, commit.

• Edit the Folder map section of CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md — replace the placeholder

topic folders with your actual domains (e.g. Claims_ML/, Platform/, Vendors/).

• Drop your first document into Sources/ and tell your agent: "ingest this."

It will write the wiki page(s), update index.md and Concept Map.md, and append to log.md.

• From then on: ask questions (the agent answers from the wiki, with citations, and

files durable answers back), drop sources, and occasionally ask for a lint.
