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.

Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

I am woosal1337 on github.
I am woosal (https://keybase.io/woosal) on keybase.
I have a public key ASDCxVFGtmVPPA5JKI1HiKplXkzmsP7ZjfLZS0neMhJEqwo

To claim this, I am signing this object:

	If you need to have postgresql@15 first in your PATH, run:
	echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@15/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

	For compilers to find postgresql@15 you may need to set:
	export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@15/lib"
	export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@15/include"

	To start postgresql@15 now and restart at login:
	brew services start postgresql@15
	Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:

	$ wsl.exe --install
	$ dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
	$ dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
	$ wsl --set-default-version 2
	$ wsl.exe --set-version Ubuntu 2

	cd / # THIS CD IS IMPORTANT THE FOLLOWING LONG COMMAND IS RUN FROM /
	tar -cvpzf backup.tar.gz \
	--exclude=/backup.tar.gz \
	--exclude=/proc \
	--exclude=/tmp \
	--exclude=/mnt \
	--exclude=/dev \
	--exclude=/sys \
	--exclude=/run \
	--exclude=/media \

	Instead of adding --disable-gpu-sandbox manually each time, it worked for me to edit /usr/lib/systemd/user/keybase.gui.service and replace:

	ExecStart=/opt/keybase/Keybase
	with:

	ExecStart=/opt/keybase/Keybase --disable-gpu-sandbox
	(I've had rendering issues with the Keybase GUI in Ubuntu earlier, so maybe this solves that as well crossed_fingers)

	sudo curl -LO https://nodejs.org/dist/v18.0.0/node-v18.0.0-linux-x64.tar.xz
	sudo tar -xvf node-v18.0.0-linux-x64.tar.xz
	sudo cp -r node-v18.0.0-linux-x64/{bin,include,lib,share} /usr/
	node --version # => v18.0.0

	$ conda config --append channels conda-forge
	$ conda create --name py11 python==3.11

	sudo apt-get install 'bluez*'
	sudo apt-get install blueman
