llm-wiki Vaults

This repository provides two blank Obsidian vaults for practicing the llm-wiki approach described in Andrej Karpathy's gist, llm-wiki. The core idea is to keep raw source capture, durable wiki pages, and agent operating rules distinct so knowledge can compound over time.

The repository defaults to English:

• vault/ is the default English vault.
• vault-zhCN/ is the Chinese vault.
• README.zh-CN.md is the Chinese repository entry point.

Obsidian + Claudian

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Open either vault/ or vault-zhCN/ as a vault in Obsidian.
3. In Claudian, point your working context at the same repository.
4. Use the matching system prompt as your baseline:
   • English: vault/30-rules/claudian-system-prompt.md
   • Chinese: vault-zhCN/30-规则/claudian-system-prompt.md
5. When giving Claudian a task, tell it which vault it should operate on.
6. For new material, have Claudian capture it into the raw layer first.
7. For topic maintenance, have Claudian check for an existing wiki page before creating a new one.

Example prompts:

Read vault/30-rules/usage-rules.md and vault/30-rules/capture-source.md first, then capture this source into vault/10-raw/inbox/.

Read vault-zhCN/30-规则/usage-rules.md and vault-zhCN/30-规则/promote-to-wiki.md first, then update the matching page in vault-zhCN/20-知识库/.

Notes

• Use vault/ if you want English paths, English rules, and English prompt docs.
• Use vault-zhCN/ if you want localized Chinese paths and Chinese operating docs.
• Both vaults keep frontmatter keys in English for portability.
• Neither vault ships with sample knowledge pages.
