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.

PhpStorm

Make sure your gridsome dev server is running: cd frontend and then yarn dev or npm run dev
Install JS GraphQL plugin: https://jimkyndemeyer.github.io/js-graphql-intellij-plugin/
Select everything inside <page-query>, click the light bulb icon, choose "Inject language or reference" and select GraphQL, like this:

NOTE: you only have to do this once and then all your .vue files will support GraphQL queries inside <page-query> tags.

Multiple SSH Keys on same client

Check if you have existing keys by opening the terminal and entering: ssh-add -l OR ls -al ~/.ssh and check for any file called (usually) id_rsa or similar

Identify the host you're using your current key for. You probably added this key to, for example your github or gitlab account. We will use this later on.

If you don't have a config file on ~/.ssh folder, you will need to create one. We'll get back to this later.

git config --global alias.ignore 'update-index --skip-worktree'
git config --global alias.unignore 'update-index --no-skip-worktree'
git config --global alias.ignored '!git ls-files -v | grep "^S"'

How to test NVDA screen reader behaviour on a Mac:

Download Microsoft Edge VM from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
Download Virtualbox and import the Edge VM image.

Then in the VM:

Install guest addons in the VM
Download & install latest NVDA from nvaccess.org
Download & install SharpKeys and use it to map left an alternative key (eg. Left Ctrl) to the Insert key. This is needed because Macs do not typically have an “Insert” key which is the prefix for many NVDA commands.
