# LLM Wiki — Second Brain for Claude Code + Obsidian

Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern ([gist](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f)). This skill turns Claude Code (or any agent CLI) into a disciplined wiki maintainer that **incrementally builds and maintains** a persistent, interlinked Obsidian vault as you feed it sources. The knowledge compounds — cross-references, contradictions, and synthesis are already there when you query.

## Core principle

Most LLM+docs workflows are **RAG**: retrieve fragments at query time, synthesize from scratch, forget. The wiki is **compounding**: sources are read once, integrated into a persistent markdown knowledge base, and kept current. You curate and ask; the LLM reads, files, cross-references, and maintains.

> Obsidian is the IDE. The LLM is the programmer. The wiki is the codebase.

## When to use

- **Personal**: track goals, health, psychology, journaling, self-improvement
- **Research**: deep dives over weeks on a topic — papers, articles, reports, evolving thesis
