LLM Wiki

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The core idea

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.

Manage Multiple Claude Code Accounts

Run two Claude Code accounts simultaneously on macOS without re-authenticating by using separate configuration directories.

Steps

1. Create Separate Config Directories

   mkdir ~/.claude-account1
   mkdir ~/.claude-account2

Overview

Initial dev environment setup for ESP32-C3 and ESP32-C6 programming, tailored towards Rust development. Some of this will also apply to the ESP32-C2 as well as the ESP32-H2 and ESP32-P4 when they are released.

1. General Setup
2. Setup USB JTAG
3. Setup GPIO JTAG

General Setup

• Install ESP tooling:

darkxst

(version 1)
#Kicad 7

# 2-layer, 1oz copper
(rule "Minimum Trace Width (outer layer)"
	(constraint track_width (min 5mil))
	(layer outer)
	(condition "A.Type == 'track'"))

(rule "Minimum Trace Spacing (outer layer)"

Mappings for DMI/SMBIOS to Linux and dmidecode

Information can be put into dmi tables via some qemu-system hosts (x86_64 and aarch64). That information is exposed in Linux under /sys/class/dmi/id and can be read with dmidecode. The names are very annoyingly inconsistent. The point of this doc is to map them.

See qemu-system-x86_64 --help for the fields that qemu will accept. qemu smbios flags vary with qemu version.

Mappings

Example qemu cmdline:

qemu-system-x86_64 -smbios type=,field=value[,...]

Adding Sections to ELF Binaries

Suppose you need to add a section to an ELF binary to contain information gathered at compile time, but to be used at link time or run time. Here's how to add a section named .okdata and either populate it with data either after or before emitting the ELF binary.

Adding a Section After Emitting

In this case, you'll add file’s contents to an already existing binary. objcopy copies and translates object files, such that adding a new section is a matter of writing that new section’s contents into the ELF file.

(Optional) Create a simple program’s object file.
