Karpathy LLM Wiki

Builds a compounding personal knowledge base where sources live in raw/ and the LLM compiles, cross-links, and lints wiki/ articles.

UtilitiesIntermediate★ 473⑂ 52AI score 10/10Last updated: Nov 9, 2026

What it does

  • Sets up and maintains two directories: raw/ (immutable source material) and wiki/ (compiled knowledge articles), plus wiki/index.md and an append-only wiki/log.md.
  • Ingest: fetches a source, saves it as raw/<topic>/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md, triages it (New / Update / Disputed / No material), compiles it into articles, and cascades updates to affected pages with Outdated/Disputed status blocks.
  • Query: searches the index plus full text, answers from wiki content with markdown citations, and can archive the answer as a new page on request.
  • Lint: auto-fixes index drift and broken internal/Raw/See Also links, then runs scripts/check_evidence.py to flag numbers, dates, and quotes that cannot be found in the linked raw files.

Who it's for

  • Anyone turning articles, papers, and docs into a durable knowledge base instead of a pile of bookmarks.
  • Researchers, engineers, and analysts who need notes with verifiable provenance.
  • Markdown + Git note-takers who want an LLM to do the writing and upkeep.

Examples

  • "Add this post to my wiki" → source saved to raw/, merged into an existing article or spun into a new one, index and log updated.
  • "What do I know about retrieval-augmented generation?" → synthesized answer drawn only from wiki articles, with links.
  • "Lint the wiki" → missing index rows added, dead cross-references removed, suspect figures reported for your judgment.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aiskillstore/marketplace/HEAD/pending/astro-han/karpathy-llm-wiki/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the pending/astro-han/karpathy-llm-wiki folder from the GitHub repo aiskillstore/marketplace into my ~/.claude/skills/karpathy-llm-wiki/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/aiskillstore/marketplace.git /tmp/aiskillstore && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/aiskillstore/pending/astro-han/karpathy-llm-wiki ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/aiskillstore/marketplace.git /tmp/aiskillstore
  3. Copy the whole skill folder (it must keep references/ and scripts/): mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/aiskillstore/pending/astro-han/karpathy-llm-wiki ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Verify Python is available with python3 --version — the lint evidence check needs it.
  5. cd into the project folder you want to use as your knowledge base and start Claude Code.
  6. Ask it to "add this URL to my wiki"; the first ingest creates raw/, wiki/, index.md, and log.md.
  7. From then on use "what do I know about X?" to query and "lint the wiki" for quality checks.
