llm-wikiA skill your agent uses when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages…
LLM Wiki is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Use when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 53 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/example-vault/README.md`, `assets/example-vault/wiki/concepts/sparse-autoencoder.md` and `assets/example-vault/wiki/entities/anthropic.md`).
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Second brain, LLM wikis and Retrieval-augmented generation. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
gist.github.comgithub.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
LLM Wiki loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 132 tokens; SKILL.md has 944 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

.claude/skills/llm-wiki/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 46 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern (gist). 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.
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.
Do NOT use when: you need one-shot Q&A over a fixed document (use RAG), you don't plan to add sources over time, or you don't want Obsidian in the loop.

scripts/)All tools are standard library only (no pip installs). Run with python scripts/<tool>.py --help.
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
init_vault.py | Create folder structure + seed CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, index.md, log.md |
ingest_source.py | Helper: extract text/frontmatter from a source file, ready for LLM review |

graph_analyzer.py | Compute link graph stats — hubs, orphans, clusters, disconnected components |
export_marp.py | Render a wiki page (or subtree) to a Marp slide deck |
The vault's schema lives in CLAUDE.md (Claude Code) or AGENTS.md (Codex/Cursor/Antigravity/OpenCode). The same content works in both. This plugin ships both templates. For per-tool setup instructions see references/cross-tool-setup.md.
CLAUDE.md → Claude Code
AGENTS.md → Codex CLI, Cursor, Antigravity, OpenCode, Gemini CLI
.cursorrules → legacy Cursor (pre-AGENTS.md)The scripts are pure Python stdlib → run identically everywhere. Only the loader file changes per tool.
raw/raw/assets/. Settings → Hotkeys → bind "Download attachments for current file" to Ctrl+Shift+DFull setup walkthrough: references/obsidian-setup.md
| Plain RAG | LLM Wiki |
|---|---|
| Rediscover knowledge each query | Knowledge accumulates |
| Cross-references re-computed every time | Cross-references pre-written and maintained |
| Contradictions surface only if you ask | Contradictions flagged during ingest |
| Exploration disappears into chat history | Good answers re-filed as new pages |
| Scales by embeddings infrastructure | Scales by markdown + index.md + optional local search |
At ~100 sources / hundreds of pages, index.md + filesystem search is enough. Past that, layer in a local search tool like qmd or use scripts/wiki_search.py.

A skill your agent uses when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages…. LLM Wiki is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Use when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current.
LLM Wiki fits situations like: maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources; updates entity/concept pages; maintains cross-references; keeps a synthesis current.
Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill llm-wiki -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki in alirezarezvani/claude-skills) into .claude/skills/llm-wiki in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill llm-wiki -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki in alirezarezvani/claude-skills) into .agents/skills/llm-wiki in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill llm-wiki -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/llm-wiki, .gemini/skills/llm-wiki, .github/skills/llm-wiki and .opencode/skills/llm-wiki in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, LLM Wiki needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: gist.github.com and github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
LLM Wiki is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 7.8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with LLM Wiki: LLM Wiki (praneybehl/llm-wiki-plugin, 118 stars), Karpathy Wiki (SherwinQ/karpathy-wiki, 114 stars), My LLM Wiki (MartinLwx/dotfiles, 140 stars) and Obsidian Knowledge Builder (Michael-OvO/obsidian-knowledge-agent, 205 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
