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.

1 NPM_TOKEN

Add an NPM_TOKEN secret on GitHub. Get your secret key from the NPM dashboard.

2 Add a step to your action

- name: Authenticate with private NPM package
  run: echo "//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}" > ~/.npmrc

running:

bash create-vod-hls.sh beach.mkv

will produce:

Installing zsh – the easy way

The Z shell (zsh) is a Unix shell [...]. Zsh can be thought of as an extended Bourne shell with a large number of improvements, including some features of bash, ksh, and tcsh.

	Incredibly simple Node.js and Express application server for serving static assets.

	DON'T USE THIS IN PRODUCTION!
	It is meant for learning purposes only. This server is not optimized for performance,
	and is missing key features such as error pages, compression, and caching.

	For production, I recommend using an application framework that supports server-side rendering,
	such as Next.js. https://nextjs.org
