|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
GitHub surface improvements:
|
||||
- Enabled GitHub Discussions
|
||||
- Added discovery topics: agent-skill, claude-code, codex, cursor, knowledge-base, llm, wiki
|
||||
- Created starter discussion thread for questions/examples/feedback
|
||||
|
||||
## Wave 5 (2026-04-08, awesome-list submissions)
|
||||
|
||||
GitHub awesome-list actions:
|
||||
- Opened PR: BehiSecc/awesome-claude-skills [#216], add `karpathy-llm-wiki` under Learning & Knowledge
|
||||
- Prepared manual-only submission package for travisvn/awesome-claude-skills
|
||||
- Prepared issue-form package for hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code, earliest safe submit date: 2026-04-12 (ready to submit)
|
||||
|
||||
Skipped or downgraded:
|
||||
- travisvn/awesome-claude-skills — explicit no AI-assisted PR rule, plus 100+ open PR backlog and one already-open similar “knowledge base compiler” PR
|
||||
- ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills — higher effort, requires vendoring a skill folder into their repo, not just adding an external link
|
||||
- kmaasrud/awesome-obsidian — weak fit, markdown-compatible but not primarily an Obsidian project
|
||||
|
||||
## Wave 6 (2026-04-10, question-first Reddit threads)
|
||||
|
||||
Reddit new comments (all posted via opencli, verified visible):
|
||||
- r/CRM "Can CRM be a collection of Markdown files?"
|
||||
- r/ClaudeAI "Llm wiki setup for Cowork users"
|
||||
- r/Rag "Is there anyone actually using a graph database?"
|
||||
- r/ClaudeAI "As a beginner with limited coding experience, all these GitHub’s about making Claude more efficient and cost less, how can I determine what’s safe to add and what’s malware?"
|
||||
- r/ClaudeAI "Claude and Obsidian for Second Brain"
|
||||
- r/AI_Agents "whats the best intersection of browser agents and knowledge bases?"
|
||||
|
||||
Scan result:
|
||||
- X had no strong fresh clean target, mostly small explainers or competitor/product threads
|
||||
- Hacker News had no strong live opening, mostly older LLM wiki results or unrelated new posts
|
||||
|
||||

|

|
||||
## Wave 7 prep (prepared 2026-04-10, not yet executed)
|
||||
|
||||
### Strategy shift
|
||||
|
||||
Waves 1 through 6 were mostly comment and reply driven. That gave broad coverage across Reddit and X, plus one active awesome-list PR. As of 2026-04-12, the repo is at **245 stars** and **31 forks**, which is enough social proof to support a stronger owned-post round instead of another broad reply sweep.
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended focus:
|
||||
- higher-intent discovery, not just opportunistic replies
|
||||
- clearer explanation of the workflow, not just the repo link
|
||||
- surfaces that can keep compounding after the initial post
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended channels
|
||||
|
||||
Tier 1:
|
||||
- Show HN standalone post
|
||||
- dev.to article
|
||||
- V2EX post
|
||||
- `awesome-claude-code` manual submission on or after **2026-04-12**
|
||||
|
||||
Tier 2:
|
||||
- Fresh Reddit threads in `r/pkm`, `r/productivity`, and `r/selfhosted` only when the thread is clearly about markdown knowledge bases, second brains, Obsidian, or AI-assisted note systems
|
||||
- Selective X replies only when the post is directly about personal knowledge systems, markdown workflows, or Karpathy's wiki idea
|
||||
|
||||
### Message angle
|
||||
|
||||
Lead with:
|
||||
- markdown-first workflow
|
||||
- raw sources compiled into a maintained personal wiki
|
||||
- readable artifacts in `raw/` and `wiki/`
|
||||
- portable across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other Agent Skills tools
|
||||
|
||||
Avoid leading with:
|
||||
- "another skill repo"
|
||||
- "RAG replacement"
|
||||
- generic agent or automation language
|
||||
|
||||
### Ready drafts
|
||||
|
||||
Show HN title:
|
||||
- `Show HN: karpathy-llm-wiki, a markdown-first workflow for building a personal LLM wiki`
|
||||
|
||||
Show HN post opener:
|
||||
|
||||
> I turned Andrej Karpathy's recent "LLM wiki" idea into a reusable skill and markdown workflow.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> The core pattern is simple:
|
||||
> - source material goes into `raw/`
|
||||
> - the LLM compiles and maintains `wiki/`
|
||||
> - queries are answered from the wiki, with citations
|
||||
> - linting keeps links, index entries, and cross-references healthy
|
||||
|
||||
dev.to title:
|
||||
- `I turned Karpathy's LLM wiki idea into a reusable markdown workflow`
|
||||
|
||||
dev.to opening:
|
||||
|
||||
> Andrej Karpathy recently described an "LLM wiki" workflow where the LLM writes and maintains a personal wiki while the human mainly reads it and asks questions. I liked the idea because it shifts the output from chat transcripts to durable files. So I packaged the pattern into a reusable skill: sources go into `raw/`, knowledge gets compiled into `wiki/`, and the system keeps an index and log as the knowledge base grows.
|
||||
|
||||
V2EX title:
|
||||
- `把 Karpathy 的 LLM Wiki 想法做成了一个可复用的 markdown 工作流`
|
||||
|
||||
V2EX opener:
|
||||
|
||||
> 最近 Karpathy 提了一个很有意思的想法，不是把 LLM 当聊天窗口，而是让它持续维护一个个人 wiki。
|
||||
>
|
||||
> 我把这个流程整理成了一个可复用的 skill / workflow：
|
||||
> - 原始资料放进 `raw/`
|
||||
> - LLM 把知识编译进 `wiki/`
|
||||
> - 查询时优先从 wiki 回答，并带引用
|
||||
> - 还能做 lint，检查链接、索引、交叉引用
|
||||
|
||||
### Execution order
|
||||
|
||||
1. Publish the dev.to article first so there is a durable explainer to link elsewhere
|
||||
2. Prepare the Show HN post and first comment in advance, then wait for a good posting window
|
||||
3. Publish the V2EX post with practical framing and less launch language
|
||||
4. Submit to `awesome-claude-code` (ready now), using the package in `docs/AWESOME_SUBMISSIONS.md`
|
||||
5. Use selective Reddit or X replies only to support the owned posts, not as the main event
|
||||
|
||||
## Wave 7 (2026-04-10, Linux.do + Reddit + X follow-through)
|
||||
|
||||
Reddit new comments (all posted via opencli):
|
||||
- r/LocalLLaMA "Anyone know if there are actual products built around Karpathy’s LLM Wiki idea?"
|
||||
- r/AI_Agents "How should I go about creating a Wiki for software system, as suggested by Andrej Karpathy?"
|
||||
- r/selfhosted "I built a 'Wiki Warden' on a local 3090 to automate my docs"
|
||||
- r/ClaudeAI "My Claude.md file"
|
||||
- r/ClaudeAI "Best way to get persistent memory in Claude right now (Apr 2026)? Practical setups?"
|
||||
|
||||
Linux.do new replies:
|
||||
- `1934381` "LLM Wiki \"vibe coding\" 创造者 Andrej Karpathy 提出的“新”工作流"
|
||||
- `1921300` "Karpathy 的 LLM-wiki 实践"
|
||||
- `1907342` "把一堆乱七八糟的笔记，变成一个会自己生长的知识库-Karpathy"
|
||||
- `1944092` "LLM Wiki这个思路确实很强，怎么快速把我的语雀笔记和飞书笔记导入到llm wiki的raw文件夹"
|
||||
|
||||
X new actions:
|
||||
- Posted milestone tweet after crossing 200 stars
|
||||
- Replied to eng_khairallah1's Graphify thread with a graph-vs-wiki distinction
|
||||
- User manually posted the follow-up repo reply under that thread
|
||||
- User manually posted selected drafted X replies, including devjuninho
|
||||
- Replied to lxfater (Chinese tutorial post), tom_doerr (Claude Code guidelines), MushtaqBilalPhD (18M+ views viral post)
|
||||
|
||||
Channel updates:
|
||||
- Linux.do replaced V2EX in the practical plan because the user has a Linux.do account and no V2EX account
|
||||
- Dev.to still looks like the best remaining "other channel" for comments or an owned explainer post
|
||||
- Hacker News still looks better as a standalone Show HN than as a reply surface
|
||||
- Competitor saturation on Reddit/X reply threads means owned posts (Show HN, dev.to) are now higher priority than reply sweeps
|
||||
|
||||
## Wave 8 (2026-04-11, targeted replies + high-signal threads)
|
||||
|
||||
X new replies (all via opencli or manual):
|
||||
- lxfater (95K followers, 7K+ views, Chinese post about Obsidian + Claude Code Karpathy wiki tutorial)
|
||||
- tom_doerr (Claude Code guidelines based on Karpathy's LLM observations)
|
||||
- MushtaqBilalPhD (Karpathy's idea went viral 18M+ views, step-by-step tutorial for non-technical folks)
|
||||
|
||||
Reddit new comments (all posted via opencli):
|
||||
- r/AskVibecoders "Andrej Karpathy's LLM Knowledge Base system Diagram" (293pt post)
|
||||
- r/learnmachinelearning "Karpathy's LLM Wiki and why it feels kind of a game changer" (120pt post, OP explicitly asked for GitHub repos)
|
||||
|
||||
Linux.do new replies:
|
||||
- `1944092` "LLM Wiki这个思路确实很强，怎么快速把我的语雀笔记和飞书笔记导入到llm wiki的raw文件夹" (answered import workflow question)
|
||||
|
||||
Scan results:
|
||||
- Competitor Graphify (captainkink07) and atomicmemory/llm-wiki-compiler are actively pushing across Reddit and X. We avoided direct confrontation and focused on workflow differentiation (markdown-first, maintenance automation, no knowledge graph overhead).
|
||||
- r/ObsidianMD and r/ClaudeCode threads heavily saturated by competitor promo. Skipped to avoid "repo war" perception.
|
||||
|
||||
Coverage updates:
|
||||
- Reddit: +r/AskVibecoders, +r/learnmachinelearning
|
||||
- X: +lxfater, +tom_doerr, +MushtaqBilalPhD
|
||||
- Linux.do: +1944092 (Yuque/Feishu import workflow)
|
||||
|
||||
## Current status snapshot (2026-04-12)
|
||||
|
||||
- Repo status: **245 stars**, **31 forks**
|
||||
- GitHub list status: BehiSecc/awesome-claude-skills [#216] still **OPEN**, hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code ready to submit
|
||||
- Current best owned-post opportunities: Show HN, dev.to article, awesome-claude-code submission
|
||||
- Strategy: Competitors are flooding reply threads. Next wave should pivot to owned posts (Show HN, dev.to article) to establish narrative control rather than chasing comment sections.
|
||||
**Strategy shift:**
|
||||
- Owned posts > reply sweeps (competitors saturated Reddit/X threads)
|
||||
- Lead with: markdown-first workflow, battle-tested wiki (94 articles, 99 sources)
|
||||
- Avoid: "RAG replacement", generic agent language
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The milestone tweet was posted when the repo had just crossed 200 stars. Current verified count is now 245.
|
||||
- `docs/` is still excluded by `.git/info/exclude`, so this promotion log remains local-only unless the exclude rule changes.
|
||||
- Competitor activity (Graphify, atomicmemory) is high. Avoid direct thread overlap; focus on workflow differentiation and owned content.
|
||||
- Competitors (Graphify, atomicmemory) actively pushing — avoid direct thread overlap
|
||||
- PR #216 (BehiSecc/awesome-claude-skills) still OPEN
|
||||
- Linux.do replaced V2EX (user has account)
