SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern enables a persistent, interlinked markdown knowledge base that avoids re-ingesting data for each query, accelerating research and knowledge synthesis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Builds a connected markdown wiki with layers for raw sources, entities, concepts, and queries.
  • Ingests sources, auto-generates cross-links, and lint-checks for consistency across pages.
  • Use Case: researchers curate sources and retrieve synthesized knowledge without reprocessing all data.

Quick Start

Create or load a wiki at the configured path and ingest an initial source to populate the knowledge base.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a persistent markdown wiki from unstructured research sources?

A markdown wiki ingests unstructured sources and organizes them into layered folders for raw data, entities, and concepts. It auto-generates wikilinks and lint-checks pages to maintain a consistent, interlinked knowledge base.

Can I use this markdown wiki with Obsidian and Dataview?

Yes, the generated markdown wiki is compatible with Obsidian and Dataview. It enforces frontmatter-based metadata and a specific folder structure so you can immediately query and visualize your interconnected knowledge base.

What is the best way to organize markdown knowledge bases to avoid re-ingesting data?

The best way to avoid re-ingesting data is using a persistent markdown wiki with layered folders for sources, entities, concepts, and queries. This structure retains ingested knowledge so you can retrieve and synthesize information without reprocessing.

How do wikilinks and frontmatter linting work in a markdown knowledge base?

Wikilinks and frontmatter linting enforce cross-linking rules and schema-based metadata validation across the wiki. The linter checks interlinked pages to ensure all references and frontmatter fields meet the required documentation structure.

Does this knowledge base tool require any external dependencies to function?

No external dependencies are required to function. The markdown wiki tool operates independently to ingest sources, apply frontmatter schemas, generate wikilinks, and lint knowledge base files without needing additional packages.
