This beginner guide to Karpathy's LLM Wiki is one of the most useful AI videos i've shared this year Karpathy's idea: instead of asking AI questions every time, make it build you a permanent knowledge base that grows smarter over time > drop your documents into a folder > Claude reads them and builds a structured wiki in Obsidian > every time you add a new source, Claude Sonnet updates existing pages and links new ideas > ask complex questions - Claude Opus answers from the organized wiki, not raw files it's like having a researcher who never forgets and connects dots across everything you've ever given it full setup guide is in the video above

HERMES AGENT + OBSIDIAN IS A COMBINATION NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. Hermes ships with a bundled Obsidian skill. read, search, and create notes in your vault out of the box. why this combination is powerful: Hermes built-in memory is capped. MEMORY.md: 2,200 chars (~800 tokens). USER.md: 1,375 chars (~500 tokens). Obsidian vault has no cap. your agent writes research, session summaries, project context, and learned patterns as linked markdown notes. unlimited depth. the agent creates indexed notes by design. timestamps, backlinks, tags. every note connects to the knowledge graph. three ways to integrate: 1. BUNDLED OBSIDIAN SKILL (simplest) ships with Hermes. reads, searches, creates notes in your vault directly. hermes skills list | grep obsidian 2. OBSIDIAN MCP SERVER (deepest) 30+ tools: full-text search, tag lookup, note management, vault analysis, link analysis, orphan detection. add it via: hermes mcp 3. TELEGRAM + CRON → VAULT (always-on) set a cron job that writes daily summaries, research findings, or task reports directly into your Obsidian vault. your agent feeds the vault while you sleep. you review in Obsidian when you're ready. the unlock: Hermes memory handles what the agent needs to know per session (capped, injected). Obsidian handles everything the agent has ever learned (uncapped, searchable). short-term in Hermes. long-term in Obsidian. both accessible. both persistent. keep the vault scope narrow at first. start with one /Hermes folder. expand once you trust the workflow. 8 Loops Indise Hermes Agent👇

Prompt engineering is where people go when they refuse to write files Karpathy's LLM Wiki gist is painfully simple: > raw sources stay untouched > the agent writes the wiki > `CLAUDE.md` or `AGENTS.md` tells it the rules > `index.md` maps the pages > `log.md` records what changed That is why a good answer should not die in chat history If the model gives you a useful comparison, summary, decision, bug explanation, or research thread, file it back into the project Use: > `wiki/topics/[topic].md` > `wiki/entities/[person-or-company].md` > `wiki/sources/[source-name].md` > `wiki/analysis/[question].md` Make the agent keep the wiki from rotting: > backlinks > summaries > contradictions > stale claims > orphan pages > missing source links For coding projects, same idea: > `CLAUDE.md`: who you are, project rules, files not to touch > `index.md`: current files and features > `log.md`: date, change, reason > saved pages: decisions you do not want to re-explain Start by saving one good answer today

Introducing Wikiwise: an open-source Mac app for managing your own Karpathy-style LLM wiki. Set up a new wiki in a few clicks: all you need is Wikiwise + your agent. It's infinitely customizable, just markdown/html under the hood, and one click to share your wiki publicly. Here's how it works: * Install Wikiwise for mac (it's built in Swift so super minimal and performant). In Karpathy's framework, Wikiwise is your IDE. * Start a new Wiki: it generates a new folder on your machine that's scaffolded in the wiki structure Andrej Karpathy describes (index.md, raw folder, wiki folder, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, although it tries to be as un-opinionated as possible). * Then just point your agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, etc) at the folder and tell it what to import -- files on your machine, connect to your Readwise account, or urls from the web. * Your agent creates wthe wiki for you: Your agent will know how to ingest your raw sources (via the AGENTS.md) and will immediately start writing+linking wiki pages for you. * Go crazy on customization! The rendered wiki pages live as static html/css in your folder too so just tell your agent to change stuff, and if you need any more customization Wikiwise is fully open source :) * Ask questions about your research with your agent, ask it to bring in new sources, write new documents, etc. * (optionally) Hit the Publish button to share your wiki with friends/colleagues at a custom URL === I tried to walk the line on a couple constraints with Wikiwise: 1. I wanted it to be easy to spin up new wikis, especially without chaining together a bunch of different apps. It takes me a few minutes to spin up a new wiki on a topic -- I already have five! 2. Infinitely Customizable: one great aspect of building a wiki as Karpathy described is that you can modify any aspect of your wiki with your agent. Every new wiki styling+structure is self-contained in the local folder, which allows you to preserve this. Wikiwise is just an IDE that makes the setup easier and includes a nice un-opinionated starting state. 3. Minimal: Wikiwise is built mostly in Swift, and the DMG you install to download it is only 2.6MB (!) 4. Easy Publishing: my colleague Eleanor Konik has been building her own LLM wikis for months, but has always really struggled to actually share them with her book club. There are tools to do it, but figuring out hosting is always a huge headache. This seemed like an ideal usecase for a tool like Wikiwise to solve. The process of building wikiwise was also pretty interesting -- I "bootstrapped" the app in a way by first building my own wiki based on Karpathy's tweet and other notes I had, and slowly formed the shape of the project in collaboration with my LLM. This was all done in 3 days over the latest Readwise company hackathon we had. Truly an incredible time to be alive. Anyways, curious what you think! Links in next tweet.

HERMES AGENT LEARNS FROM ITS OWN MISTAKES. UPDATES ITS MEMORY. CREATES ITS OWN SKILLS. NO CLOUD. EVERYTHING STORED LOCALLY. THIS IS HOW THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP WORKS. most agents start from zero every session. Hermes carries forward what it learned. THREE MEMORY SYSTEMS: 1. PROCEDURAL MEMORY (how to act) stored in ~/.hermes/skills/ as SKILL.md files. when the agent repeats a complex workflow, it saves the procedure as a reusable skill. next time the same task comes up, it follows the skill instead of figuring it out again. you can also create skills explicitly: "create a skill called video-prep that captures how I format my video scripts. spoken english, define jargon inline, no em-dashes, close with a catchphrase." the agent writes the SKILL.md. available as a slash command from that moment. Hermes ships with 90+ skills. the number grows the longer you use it. 2. SEMANTIC MEMORY (durable facts about you) stored in ~/.hermes/memory/memory.md the agent scans conversations for facts worth remembering. preferences, habits, corrections, project details. real example from the video: agent tried to scrape a YouTube channel. URL was wrong. it failed. it updated memory.md with the correct URL pattern so it never makes the same mistake again. you can also save explicitly: "save to memory that my favorite testing framework is pytest" the agent updates memory.md immediately. this file loads into context on every session. the agent knows you better every week. 3. EPISODIC MEMORY (chat history) stored in ~/.hermes/state.db (local SQLite). every conversation. every tool call. every result. searchable with FTS5 full-text search. "search our past sessions. what was the first thing I ever said to you?" the agent queries state.db and finds it. over time, auxiliary models consolidate episodic memory into semantic memory. distilling recurring patterns into durable facts. THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP: every agent run follows this cycle: → you send a prompt → working memory loads: SOUL.md + memory.md + relevant skills + chat history → agent calls tools (terminal, browser, delegate_task) → agent completes the task, replies to you → AFTER the reply: agent checks "did I learn something worth saving?" → if yes: updates memory.md or creates a new skill → next session starts smarter than the last this happens automatically. you don't ask the agent to learn. it decides what to remember on its own. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM CLAUDE CODE: Claude Code has memory too. but Hermes stores everything locally. no cloud. your data never leaves your machine. Claude Code doesn't auto-create skills from experience. Hermes turns repeated workflows into reusable procedures. Claude Code memory is instruction-based. Hermes memory is conversational and self-updating. over months of usage, Hermes builds a knowledge base of your preferences, your projects, your mistakes, and the procedures that work for your specific workflow. the agent that remembers your birthday also remembers why your last deploy failed. NO EMBEDDINGS. PLAIN TEXT. Hermes does not use embeddings or RAG for memory. skill and memory search runs on plain text keyword matching. simpler. faster. no vector database to maintain. works entirely offline on your local machine. DELEGATE TO CLAUDE CODE: Hermes can spawn a sub-agent that runs Claude Code in headless mode: "spawn a sub-agent using Claude CLI to build a Python script that fetches the top 5 Hacker News stories to markdown." Hermes delegates. Claude Code writes the code. result returns to Hermes. Hermes runs the script and delivers the output. use Hermes for orchestration. use Claude Code for heavy coding. both tools. not competitors. WHAT HERMES DOES NOT HAVE: no built-in eval or LMOps system. no LangSmith, no LangFuse integration out of the box. trajectory export and logs exist but there is no automated quality tracking. if you need eval, build it yourself or connect external tools. the loop is self-improving. measuring how well it improves is on you. comment LOOP and I'll send you the configs that control how fast Hermes learns and what it remembers. memory limits, skill auto-creation triggers, and the auxiliary model that runs the learning. Replace your entire team with 8 hermes agents👇

Karpathy found a way to reduce token consumption by 90% The problem is that the LLM re-reads the same files over and over again, loses context between documents, and provides less accurate answers as a result The solution is called Wiki Layer the LLM cleans, structures, and links all your data once, after which it never works with raw files again Three folders `raw/` for originals, `wiki/` for a clean knowledge base in Markdown, and files with rules for the agent Result up to 90% token savings on repeat queries, automatic links between documents, and a visual knowledge graph in Obsidian Everything stays on your local machine nothing goes to the cloud

Everyone keeps asking me how to build a second brain or an LLM wiki. Here is the easiest setup I have found. I took my Wiki Builder skill, installed it into HyperAgent (Hyperagent) as a reusable skill, and asked it to build a research wiki on LLM verification from the latest 2026 papers. Recorded a quick demo. Built with Hyperagent. It planned first, asked a few sharp questions, then did the research: 29 papers curated into 21 files, a research map, a glossary, and clean subfields. Now it is a knowledge base that my other research agents build on. HyperAgent has all the capabilities to allow your agents and skills to compound. That’s a powerful use of AI agents.

everyone's talking about building a second brain with claude code + obsidian right now. so i made a full video walkthrough showing exactly how to set it up from scratch. drop an article into a folder. claude code reads it, creates wiki pages, builds relationships between concepts, and links everything automatically. by 20 sources your wiki knows more about your domain than you can hold in your head. here's the full setup:

I just built a Claude skill that acts as a second brain for DTC brands 🤯 Drop your ad exports, customer reviews, competitor screenshots, and brand docs into a folder → Claude compiles it all into an organized wiki you can ask questions against. All inside Claude Cowork. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies whose knowledge is scattered across Google Drive, Notion, Meta Ads Manager, Figma, and 47 spreadsheets nobody has opened in 3 months. If every strategic question takes 2 hours to answer because the data lives in 8 different places ... This skill eliminates the entire loop: → Claude scaffolds a DTC folder structure: ads, customers, competitors, brand, performance, notes → You drop every file you have into those folders — messy, unorganized, exactly how you have them now → Claude reads everything and compiles a wiki: hooks-that-work, customer-pains, competitor-angles, brand-voice, performance-patterns, creative-brief-library → Every article is cross-linked and traceable back to the source file → You ask questions against the wiki — "what hooks are actually working?" "what objections come up most?" "where are my competitors weak?" → Claude answers, grounded entirely in your own data → Save the answers back in and the system gets smarter every time you use it No more hunting through 12 tools. No more "where did I save that brief?" No more answering the same question twice. What you get: → A complete DTC brand brain scaffold in 60 seconds → Six core wiki articles Claude populates automatically from your raw files → A schema file that tells Claude exactly how to maintain the wiki for DTC use cases → Monthly health checks that catch contradictions and flag gaps before errors compound → A knowledge base that compounds — every question you ask makes the next answer better Built on a methodology Andrej Karpathy shared for personal knowledge bases, I rebuilt the entire thing for DTC operators: folder structure, schema rules, wiki articles, and question frameworks all tuned for brands and agencies. I put together the full skill file plus a playbook walking through the exact setup and 5 real questions to ask your brand brain.

Andrej Karpathy quietly shipped the best second brain idea in years not an app. a pattern. let an llm maintain a wiki of your notes. you dump sources, it reads them, links them, files them. knowledge compounds like interest. someone built it into a free claude code plugin. setup is two commands: claude plugin marketplace add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian claude plugin install claude-obsidian@agricidaniel-claude-obsidian then open obsidian, open claude code in the same folder, type /wiki. that's it. your notes are now queryable by claude and they get richer every time you read something. bookmark this. best thing you'll build this weekend.

THIS GUY BUILT A GOD-MODE SECOND BRAIN IN 3 STEPS THAT GETS SMARTER EVERY SINGLE DAY AND 10X HIS RESEARCH! Everyone hoards notes they never reopen, but he turned the dead pile into a brain that actually reads itself back, in three steps: > download Obsidian, make a vault, and point Claude Code at the folder > create two folders inside, raw-sources for everything you dump in and wiki where Claude writes the organized version, then drop in Andrej Karpathy's prompt > throw in every article, book note, meeting transcript and piece of research you ever saved and forgot Then you stop searching and start asking the wiki, "what are the gaps in my knowledge", "write me a briefing on this topic", and Claude pulls from your whole vault and answers with citations. Everyone copies the folders, but the part that actually matters is what happens next, every answer gets written back into the wiki and a weekly health check hunts for contradictions and outdated info, so it is not storage you query, it is a brain that compounds every day you use it. The full step by step guide with the Karpathy prompt and the .md files is in the article below.👇 P.S. you can send this article straight to your Claude to get the full context

This is Farzapedia. I had an LLM take 2,500 entries from my diary, Apple Notes, and some iMessage convos to create a personal Wikipedia for me. It made 400 detailed articles for my friends, my startups, research areas, and even my favorite animes and their impact on me complete with backlinks. But, this Wiki was not built for me! I built it for my agent! The structure of the wiki files and how it's all backlinked is very easily crawlable by any agent + makes it a truly useful knowledge base. I can spin up Claude Code on the wiki and starting at index.md (a catalog of all my articles) the agent does a really good job at drilling into the specific pages on my wiki it needs context on when I have a query. For example, when trying to cook up a new landing page I may ask: "I'm trying to design this landing page for a new idea I have. Please look into the images and films that inspired me recently and give me ideas for new copy and aesthetics". In my diary I kept track of everything from: learnings, people, inspo, interesting links, images. So the agent reads my wiki and pulls up my "Philosophy" articles from notes on a Studio Ghibli documentary, "Competitor" articles with YC companies whose landing pages I screenshotted, and pics of 1970s Beatles merch I saved years ago. And it delivers a great answer. I built a similar system to this a year ago with RAG but it was ass. A knowledge base that lets an agent find what it needs via a file system it actually understands just works better. The most magical thing now is as I add new things to my wiki (articles, images of inspo, meeting notes) the system will likely update 2-3 different articles where it feels that context belongs, or, just creates a new article. It's like this super genius librarian for your brain that's always filing stuff for your perfectly and also let's you easily query the knowledge for tasks useful to you (ex. design, product, writing, etc) and it never gets tired. I might spend next week productizing this, if that's of interest to you DM me + tell me your usecase!

HERMES AGENT BUILT A SKILL THAT AUTOMATED AN 8-HOUR WORKFLOW INTO 80 MINUTES. THE AGENT BUILT IT FROM ITS OWN COMPLETED SESSIONS. one user ran their customer pipeline through Hermes repeatedly: meetings → recordings → product requirements → technical specs → development → delivery. after enough runs, Hermes identified the pattern and created a skill that handles the full pipeline: → takes meeting recordings → extracts requirements automatically → runs research on the extracted data → generates product requirement documents → generates technical specifications → delegates the build to a coding agent → sends a link to the finished product what Hermes skills contain: → when to use (trigger conditions) → step-by-step procedure → known pitfalls to avoid → verification steps (how to confirm it worked) stored as markdown in ~/.hermes/skills/. readable, editable, permanent. agents with 20+ self-created skills finish similar future tasks ~40% faster. month 1 you explain everything. month 3 the agent runs your core workflows from the skills it built along the way. full breakdown of Hermes as a Personal AI OS in the article 👇

i genuinely can't understand why this isn't the first thing every claude user builds... andrej karpathy, co-founder of openai, quietly solved the exact problem making your ai useless and almost nobody noticed here's the problem he solved... every session claude starts from zero, rereads the same files, forgets every contradiction it already caught, burns tokens relearning what it knew yesterday, forever 1. raw holds the truth once, wiki holds the compiled answer forever, instructions hold the one rule that stops it from ever getting messy again 2. claude opens a raw file exactly one time in its entire life, after that it only speaks in wiki pages with the sources already cited 3. the moment claude catches you contradicting yourself, it writes both versions into the wiki with dates, so it never asks you the same wrong question twice your raw files are disposable... the compiled wiki is the only thing that actually compounds full breakdown is in the article below

Here's how I'm running automated content engine in 2 files 1 markdown file = my wiki 1 html file = my dashboard that's the whole stack. [ the architecture, in plain words ]: LLM wiki = a single markdown file holding my audience DNA, 15 tracked creators, every viral topic from the last 30 days HTML artifact = a single page that reads that markdown file AND can trigger my agents the artifact and the agent talk to each other directly the wiki is the shared brain [ what I actually see when I open it at 9am ]: > 5 trending topics ranked by my audience-DNA fit > 3 KOL posts worth quoting today > last week's saved tweets (so I can ride waves that are still warm) > buttons: [draft tweet] [draft QT] [schedule] [log idea] 1. I click "draft tweet" on a topic 2. the artifact pings my agent 3. agent reads the wiki, drafts in MY voice, returns it to the artifact 4. I edit, schedule, done 15 minutes from morning coffee to 3 scheduled posts [ how to build the same in one evening ]: > step 1: dump your domain knowledge into ONE markdown file (audience profile, KOL list, content rules, voice guide, anything an agent would need to do YOUR job) > step 2: ask claude to build an html artifact that reads from that file ("here's my wiki, build me a dashboard with these views") > step 3: add buttons for the actions you do daily (draft, schedule, log, score, search — your workflow, not mine) > step 4: wire each button to call your agent via tool calls (so the artifact and the agent talk directly) the moment your artifact reads your wiki AND triggers your agents.. most SaaS tools you currently pay for quietly become unnecessary dashboards I used to pay $50/month for now sit in a single html file I can rebuild in 20 minutes every "I'll build a SaaS for this" idea you had last year is a 200-line file you write in an afternoon if you want to get the same content engine, just reply "CONTENT" and will send you in DMs later we're going from buying software to owning it.

This guy literally tested Hermes Agent vs OpenClaw side by side. Hermes won. And it wasn't close. Here's what made the difference: → Hermes built the website faster → Hermes gave live updates the whole time. OpenClaw went silent. → Hermes designed a cleaner page using the exact same AI model → And then Hermes did something OpenClaw can't do at all. It learned from the task. Every mistake gets logged. Every win gets saved as a reusable skill. The more you use it, the smarter it gets. OpenClaw doesn't do this unless you manually set up a learning file. Hermes does it automatically. Every single time. Other wins: → Runs free with Ollama + MiniMax → Works on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and Email → Supports 200+ AI models → Built-in migration tool from OpenClaw — one command to switch 11,600 GitHub stars. 142 contributors. If you're already on OpenClaw, you don't have to start over. Just ask Hermes to import everything.

Karpathy gave 100,000 people the LLM Wiki idea. 1 guy actually built it into a Claude + Obsidian brain that never forgets you. Every AI tool forgets you the second you close the tab. ChatGPT, Claude, Codex. All gone. He killed that. A shared memory layer your AI builds and maintains on its own. 3 layers. Raw, Wiki, Schema. You drop a source, Claude reads it, pulls the concepts, links them, cites the original, never touches your raw notes. Scales to 1,000s of notes without breaking. Then it goes deeper. An agentic firewall locks agents out of your other vaults. A local model running free and private, zero cloud. 2 videos walk through it all. 1 on why. 1 on the build, start to finish. Most people will keep pasting the same context into 6 tabs for the next 3 years. Build it once. Never explain yourself to a model again.
