Getting Started with a Personal AI Wiki
A minimal setup guide based on Karpathy's LLM wiki pattern. Fifteen minutes from zero to a working wiki that Claude maintains for you. Nothing here is novel — just the shortest path to running the pattern.
Pick your path
No terminal needed
Claude Desktop
Uses the Claude Desktop app and its Cowork feature. Best if you prefer a GUI.
Terminal
Claude Code
Uses Claude Code in a terminal. Best if you're comfortable in the command line.
Both end up at the same place: a wiki that Claude reads, writes, and maintains as you feed it sources. The wiki is just a folder of markdown files — no special software required to get started.
