Karpathy LLM Wiki
Karpathy LLM Wiki is an open source agent skill that builds structured knowledge bases from raw sources using LLMs.
Karpathy LLM Wiki is an installable Agent Skills skill that lets coding agents manage structured knowledge systems. Users provide web pages, papers, PDFs, markdown files, or pasted text as sources, which are stored in a raw directory and compiled into durable markdown wiki pages. The system offers three main operations for ingestion, grounded question answering with citations, and wiki health linting. It is designed for developers using coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Unlike traditional RAG systems that rely on raw chunks and embeddings at query time, this wiki model builds compounding knowledge that improves over time through automated maintenance.
