Key Points

* Karpathy released a framework for building an LLM knowledge base. Nick turned it into a free Claude skill with a guided setup wizard, ingest, query, and lint commands -- works across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and more. One-click install, no coding required.

* The system runs on three tiers: raw (brain dump), wiki (AI-organized knowledge base), and outputs (answers from querying). Drop files into raw, run ingest, and the AI maps everything into structured wiki entries with relationship graphs.

* You can automate ingestion using Claude Code's loop feature so the vault stays current without manual work. Pair with Obsidian's paid sync tier and a note captured on your phone is indexed before you're back at your desk.

* The lint command health-checks your wiki for outdated entries and missing connections -- and tells you exactly what to clip next to close the gaps. The wiki tells you what it doesn't know yet.

* Day zero this thing is basic. Day 90 it's a company asset no competitor can copy. Your private knowledge base is the foundation for every agent and skill you build -- and nobody else will have it.
