knowledge-base-setup

To set up a Karpathy-style LLM wiki knowledge base, run the guided setup command to generate a standard folder layout with raw/ and wiki/ directories. Claude then automates structured ingestion and interlinked note creation for your codebase.

Yes, knowledge base setup works with Obsidian vault integration through a dedicated subagent. This subagent performs vault reads and writes via the official Obsidian CLI to minimize token usage without exposing the main context to vault I/O.

You can create interlinked knowledge base notes without Obsidian by using a plain Markdown fallback. The setup configures a standard folder structure and wiki linking that operates independently of Obsidian CLI integration when unavailable.

The standard folder layout for a Claude knowledge base wiki uses two primary directories: raw/ for source materials and wiki/ for generated interlinked notes. This structure ensures consistent ingestion and navigation across projects.

To onboard a team to a linked wiki using Claude, the setup generates a ready-to-use CLAUDE.md workflow template. This template establishes the standard folder layout and ingestion rules, ensuring consistent knowledge base maintenance across team members.

You do not need the Obsidian CLI installed to configure wikilinks. The setup provides a path to plain Markdown fallback for interlinked notes, allowing you to build and maintain the knowledge base structure when Obsidian is unavailable.
