LLM Wiki – example of an "idea file"

a day ago

LLMs build and maintain a persistent wiki from raw source documents, updating and cross-referencing content incrementally.
The wiki consists of structured markdown files that serve as a compiled knowledge base, avoiding the need for RAG-based rediscovery on every query.
Users guide the process by sourcing documents and asking questions, while the LLM handles summarization, linking, and bookkeeping tasks.
The system includes layers for raw sources, LLM-generated wiki pages, and a schema that defines conventions and workflows.
Key processes include ingesting new sources, querying the wiki with answers filed back as pages, and periodic linting to maintain health.
Index and log files help navigation, with optional tools like search engines (e.g., qmd) and integrations with Obsidian for enhanced functionality.
Applications span personal tracking, research, reading, business wikis, and more, with maintenance automated to reduce human burden.
The concept draws inspiration from Vannevar Bush's Memex, emphasizing associative trails and private curation with LLM-enabled upkeep.
