Upstream hierarchy:

1. Canonical source: Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern — the core methodology this skill implements.
2. Conceptual enhancements: nashsu/llm_wiki — methodology niceties adopted conceptually (not code): purpose.md, Two-Step Chain-of-Thought Ingest, overview.md, 4-signal relevance model, graph insights, dedup pipeline, cohesion scoring. The upstream desktop app, API, MCP server, and vector search are not used — this skill is a standalone agent-curated markdown wiki with no external dependencies.

v3.0 changelog: Adopted the nashsu enhancements above as conceptual improvements to the Karpathy pattern.

Karpathy's LLM Wiki

Build and maintain a persistent, compounding knowledge base as interlinked markdown files. Based on Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern.

Unlike traditional RAG (which rediscovers knowledge from scratch per query), the wiki compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. Cross-references are already there. Contradictions have already been flagged. Synthesis reflects everything ingested.

Division of labor: The human curates sources and directs analysis. The agent summarizes, cross-references, files, and maintains consistency.
