llm-wiki

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.

Install

Step 1: Add the marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add alsayadi/karpathy-llm-wiki-plugin

Step 2: Install the plugin:

/plugin install llm-wiki@karpathy-llm-wiki-plugin

That's it! /wiki is now available.

Usage

Command	Description
/wiki init [path]	Scaffold a new wiki (default: ./wiki)
/wiki ingest <source>	Process a source and integrate into the wiki
/wiki query <question>	Search and synthesize an answer
/wiki lint	Health-check for issues
/wiki search <term>	Full-text search across pages
/wiki status	Show wiki stats

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 structure

How 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).
