Andrej Karpathy outlines an LLM-maintained markdown wiki workflow for personal research

Karpathy describes using LLMs to compile raw source documents into a markdown wiki that he views in Obsidian, with the LLM writing and maintaining most of the wiki.

He reports that at about 100 articles and 400K words, the LLM agent can answer complex questions directly from the wiki, and he also runs LLM health checks to find inconsistencies and gaps.

He shares the underlying idea as an "idea file" that users can give to their own agents to build a customized version.
