# Add Karpathy LLM Wiki Set up a persistent wiki knowledge base on NanoClaw, based on Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern. Each step is safe to re-run: directory creation uses `mkdir -p`, initial wiki files are created only if absent, the container skill is preserved unless the user opts to update it, and the group CLAUDE.md section is replaced in place via marker comments rather than duplicated. ## Step 1: Read the pattern Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/llm-wiki.md` — this is the full LLM Wiki idea as written by Karpathy. Understand it thoroughly before proceeding. Summarize the core idea to the user briefly, then discuss what they want to build. ## Step 2: Choose a group AskUserQuestion: "Which group should have the wiki?" 1. **Main group** — add to your existing main chat 2. **Dedicated group** — create a new group just for the wiki 3. **Other** — pick an existing group If dedicated: ask which channel and chat, then register with `pnpm exec tsx setup/index.ts --step register`. ## Step 3: Design collaboratively Discuss with the user based on the pattern: - What's the wiki's domain or topic? - What kinds of sources will they add? (URLs, PDFs, images, voice notes, books, transcripts) - Do they

About this skill
What does the add-karpathy-llm-wiki skill do?

Add a persistent wiki knowledge base to a NanoClaw group. Based on Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern. Triggers on "add wiki", "wiki", "knowledge base", "llm wiki", "karpathy wiki".

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add nanocoai/nanoclaw --skill add-karpathy-llm-wiki --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From nanocoai/nanoclaw, a repository with 30,426 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
