ZenWiki

[![CI](https://github.com/ChenXplorer/zenwiki/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ChenXplorer/zenwiki/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green.svg)](./LICENSE) [![Python 3.10+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.10+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/) ![Status: alpha](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-alpha-orange)

An implementation of Karpathy's LLM wiki idea — raw sources → agent-compiled wiki → Ask AI. Drop files into `raw/`, let an AI agent compile them into a structured, interlinked wiki.

ZenWiki does not call any LLM API. It provides deterministic tools (search, dedup, lint, index) that an external Agent (Claude Code or Codex CLI) uses to build and maintain the wiki.

How It Works

Repository Layout

ZenWiki ships with two top-level directories:

core/ — the program (Python package, web frontend). You only touch this if you're modifying ZenWiki itself.
my-wiki/ — your content. Drop sources into my-wiki/raw/, the Agent compiles them into my-wiki/wiki/. Open my-wiki/ in Obsidian to rea
