Implemented Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern in OpenClaw on 2026-04-26
Brief
@code_rams implemented Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern in OpenClaw (2026-04-26), treating Obsidian as the IDE and LLMs as programmers with a five-type page taxonomy (entities, concepts, syntheses, sources, reports). They enforce search-before-write, automatic backlinks, on-page contradiction flags, frontmatter attribution, and a single-vault model, and stress that strict system prompts are required to maintain the wiki.
Why it matters
Implemented Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern in OpenClaw on 2026-04-26: uses Obsidian as the IDE, the LLM as the programmer, OpenClaw as the build system, and a fixed taxonomy of five page types—entities, concepts, syntheses, sources, reports.
Key details
- Operational rules enforced for agents: must search before writing and append to existing pages to avoid duplicates; backlinks are automatic via Obsidian wikilinks; contradictions are flagged as on-page 'tension notes' rather than overwritten; multi-agent attribution is stored in frontmatter; a single vault is required because the plugin lacks cross-vault graph/search.
- The pattern requires strong system prompts for every agent (explicit rules: 'search before write, file by type, link before duplicate, flag contradictions')—the discipline is encoded in prompts, not in OpenClaw code; without prompts agents default to dumping markdown into folders.
