llm-wiki-kit

A kit for building LLM-maintained markdown wikis — Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern, adapted. Two ways to use it:

• Just use a vault. Clone a starter (family or work-os), copy it into a folder of your own, open it in Claude Code. No Python install required.
• Build, customize, or upgrade a vault. pip install llm-wiki-kit. Then wiki init for a new vault from a recipe, or wiki upgrade inside an existing vault (including a cloned starter) to pull in the kit's newest primitives.

Use a starter (no install required)

Four steps, fresh machine to working vault — no Python, no pip install.

1. Clone this repo. You need a local copy to cp -r a starter out of.

2. Pick a starter.

3. Copy it to a folder of your own.

The vault is just markdown — works in any editor. For LLM-driven workflows, open it in Obsidian or Claude Code.

4. Talk to Claude. Open Claude Code (or any agent that reads AGENTS.md) at the vault root. It will read AGENTS.md and CORE.md to learn what the vault is and what skills it can run. Then try one of the prompts below.

See starters/README.md for the full clone-and-go workflow, including how to pull in kit upgrades later with wiki upgrade.

Build or maintain a vault (pip install)

For authors who want to scaffold a new vault from scratch, customize existing primitives, or upgrade a cloned starter against the kit's latest output. Requires Python 3.11+.

1. Install.
