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.

🐍 Install Python on macOS using uv

📋 Prerequisites

🍎 macOS with Homebrew installed
💻 Terminal (zsh)

🚀 Step 1: Install uv

Make sure openssl is installed

brew install openssl

Generate cert and key

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout cert.key -out cert.crt -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes -subj "/C=XX/ST=YOUR_STATE/L=YOUR_LOCATION/O=YOUR_COMPANY/OU=YOUR_ORG/CN=YOUR_DOMAIN"

	# push an existing repository from the command line
	git remote add origin https://github.com/username/reponame
	git branch -M main
	git push -u origin main

	#!/bin/bash

	# ==============================================================================
	# A simple script to link a local Git repository to a new remote on GitHub
	# and push the initial 'main' branch.
	#
	# INSTRUCTIONS:
	# 1. Make sure you have initialized a Git repository (`git init`).
	# 2. Add and commit your files (`git add .` and `git commit -m "Initial commit"`).
	# 3. Replace the URL with your own repository's URL.

	-- Find in progress transactions

	SELECT *
	FROM pg_stat_activity
	WHERE state = 'idle in transaction'
	AND pid <> pg_backend_pid()
	AND query LIKE '%<table_name>%';

	-- Kill process

	# Change macOS image name and USB drive name
	# USB formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and choose GUID Partition Map as the Scheme.
	sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Sequoia

	# Press and hold power button for boot menu (Apple Silicon)
