LLM Wiki Plugin for Claude Code
A persistent, compounding knowledge base powered by LLMs. Based on Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern.
Instead of RAG-style retrieval (re-deriving answers every time), the LLM incrementally builds and maintains a structured wiki of interlinked markdown files. You curate sources and ask questions; the LLM handles all the bookkeeping.

Architecture
wiki/
raw/ # Your source documents (immutable)
pages/ # LLM-generated markdown (LLM owns this)
index.md # Content catalog
log.md # Chronological operation log
schema.md # Conventions and structureHow It Works
1. Ingest sources one at a time -- the LLM reads each, creates summary pages, updates entity/concept pages, adds cross-references, and logs the operation 2. Query the wiki -- the LLM searches pages and synthesizes answers with citations; good answers can be saved back as synthesis pages 3. Lint periodically -- finds contradictions, orphan pages, missing links, stale content
The wiki compounds over time. Works great with Obsidian for browsing (graph view, backlinks).
