README
research_LLM_wiki
**English** | [中文](./README.zh.md)
A pair of cross-harness agent skills (**Claude Code** + **Codex CLI**) that turn your scientific reading and your own research history into **persistent, structured, LLM-maintained markdown wikis** instead of one-shot RAG retrievals.
Two skills, one idea. Use either alone, both together for full effect.
| Skill | What it tracks | Auto-loads? |
|---|---|---|
| literature-wiki | Field-level knowledge: every paper you read, with cross-cutting entity / method / system / observable / debate pages | No — invoked when ingesting / querying / linting |
| research-profile | Your own research portfolio: projects, papers, ideas, failures, methods you own, collaborators, talks, reviews, funding | Yes — profile.md auto-loads into every new session |
The idea
Most LLM-document workflows are RAG: every question re-discovers knowledge from raw PDFs. Nothing accumulates. After reading 50 papers on a topic over six months, your assistant still answers the next question by reading fragments of three random PDFs and stitching them together. The synthesis you spent months building lives only in your head.
These skills implement a different pattern, articulated by [Andrej Karpathy in his "LLM Wiki" gist](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f):
Instead of just retrieving from raw documents at query time, the LLM **incrementally builds and maintains a persistent wiki** — a structured, interlinked collection of markdown files that sits between you and the raw sources.
You curate sources and ask questions. The LLM does the bookkeeping: summarizing, cross-referencing, filing, contradiction-spotting. The wiki is the compiled artifact, kept current as new sources arrive, never rediscovered from scratch.
This repository applies that pattern to scientific research, in two complementary scopes.
