Symbiotic LLM Wiki

A symbiotic, LLM-agnostic implementation of Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern in Obsidian.

Focused on deep research in:

• Category Theory
• Functional Programming & Computer Languages
• Agentic AI & Memory Systems
• Mendix (low-code + agentic development)
• AI Research

Core Philosophy

This is not about full automation or strict human control.

It is about symbiosis:

• You provide direction, taste, semantic grounding, and judgment.
• The system provides breadth, cross-connection, recall, formalization attempts, and structural insight.
• Both get better over time through co-evolution.
• The wiki is the shared external mind — persistent, inspectable, and versioned.

Quick Start

1. Clone this repo
2. Open the folder in Obsidian
3. Read WIKI-PROTOCOL.md (the contract/schema)
4. Start adding sources to raw/
5. Use your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) with the protocol

Key Documents

• llm-wiki.md — Karpathy's original pattern (forked)
• ARCHITECTURE.md — Full layered architecture
• RIGOR-SPECTRUM.md — Multi-level formalization approach (including Lean/Agda)
• WIKI-PROTOCOL.md — The living schema / instructions for agents
• Category Theory tutorials (highly recommended for assimilation):
  • [[Category-Theory-Tutorial]] — Comprehensive hands-on tutorial with exercises, analogies, and project-specific examples
  • [[Adjunction]] (main tutorial)
  • [[Functor]]
  • [[NaturalTransformation]]
• DIRECTORY-STRUCTURE.md — Recommended layout

Repository Goals

• Capture and evolve all architectural decisions interactively on GitHub
• Serve as both documentation and a ready-to-use Obsidian vault
• Remain portable across different LLMs and agents (plain files + open specs)
• Enable deep structural thinking using Obsidian's graph + Canvas

Status

This repository is being actively designed through conversation. It is the living record of the architecture for a true symbiotic knowledge system.

Contributing / Discussion

Use GitHub Issues and Discussions to evolve the protocol, page types, and rigor approach.
