LLM Wiki

A pattern for building and maintaining personal knowledge bases using LLMs via a persistent wiki.The Kaparthy LLM Wiki

Definition

• LLM builds structured markdown wiki from raw sources.
• Incremental integration: updates entities/concepts, resolves contradictions.
• Human role: curate sources, ask questions; LLM: summarize, link, maintain.

Components

• Raw sources: Immutable inputs.
• Wiki: LLM-generated pages (entities, concepts, sources).
• Schema: Instructions/prompts for LLM (e.g. SCHEMA).

Benefits

• Knowledge compounds over time.
• No per-query re-derivation.
• Automated bookkeeping (cross-refs, consistency).

Implementation

• Uses Obsidian as frontend/IDE.
• Folders: Wiki/Entities/, Wiki/Concepts/, Wiki/Sources/.
• Special: Wiki Index, log.
