What it does
LLM Wiki is an agent skill from lewislulu/llm-wiki-skill. Build and maintain a Karpathy-style LLM knowledge base — a self-compiling Obsidian markdown wiki where an Agent ingests raw sources, compiles cross-linked concept/entity/summary pages, answers queries against the corpus, lints the graph for health, and audits in-context human feedback filed from Obsidian or the local web viewer. Use when (1) scaffolding a new knowledge base for any research topic, (2) ingesting articles/papers/PDFs/web pages into raw/, (3) compiling or restructuring wiki articles from existing…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/article-guide.md`, `references/audit-guide.md` and `references/log-guide.md`).
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering LLM wikis, Linting and formatting and Knowledge bases. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Karpathy-style LLM knowledge base Agent Skill for OpenClaw/Codex. Experimental — will iterate over time.
When your agent uses it
- Scaffolding a new knowledge base for any research topic
- Ingesting articles/papers/PDFs/web pages into raw/
- Restructuring wiki articles from existing raw material
- Answering questions against the wiki and filing durable answers back
Example prompts
- “/llm-wiki”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Divide and conquer
- Mermaid for diagrams, KaTeX for formulas
- Raw file policy
- Audit is the human feedback surface
- compile
- ingest
- query
- lint
- audit
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d7751c0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
gist.github.comobsidian.mdgithub.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
LLM Wiki loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 213 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,524 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,524 words (~3,685 tokens).
“Instead of RAG (re-retrieving raw docs on every query), the LLM compiles raw sources into a persistent, cross-linked wiki. Every ingest, query, lint, and audit pass makes the wiki richer. Knowledge compounds — and the human stays in the loop…”
