The following guide will help you set up a simple LLM wiki in ~15-30 minutes.
Andrej Karpathy is the Cofounder of OpenAI and his post, LLM Knowledge Bases, introduced the idea of LLM Wikis which uses a set of files to build a web of interconnected pages. A 'wiki' to your files.
His original document outlining the philosophy of an LLM wiki can be found here. I have also attached this document below (CLAUDE.md) along with a skill I created to help set it up.
This skill will guide you through the structure and set up of an LLM Wiki and is designed to be asked questions (just ask it for help if needed). It is purely made for curiosity and figuring out how this may be useful for you.
I do not recommend using this skill for anything other than experimentation as no safety or reliability features have been added.
Download both files, put them in a folder and connect your coding agent. Tell your agent to read both CLAUDE.md and Build-Simple-Wiki-Skill.md and the agent will initialise the process.

- Build-Simple-Wiki-Skill.md: Bootstrap skill to walk you through setting up your first LLM Wiki
Once the wiki has been set up, I asked it questions such as:
- What are non obvious connections that have emerged?
- What remains unanswered / Where are the gaps in this wiki?
- What other questions should I be asking?
- How could this be useful to me?
- What could make this wiki better for my use cases of x,y,z?
These gave me an indication of the wiki's best use cases and limitations.
