The Next Step After Karpathy's Wiki Idea

Karpathy's LLM Wiki compiles research into a persistent Markdown wiki, but this pattern breaks for real work where context evolves constantly. Rowboat is an open-source alternative that builds a knowledge graph instead — extracting typed entities (decisions, commitments, deadlines) with backlinks from Gmail, Granola, and Fireflies conversations. It runs background agents on a schedule, supports local models via Ollama or LM Studio, and stores everything as plain Markdown compatible with Obsidian. The post also curates 16 Claude Code `.claude/` skills for AI engineers, covering areas like persistent memory, security review, DevOps config generation, web quality checks, and agile delivery pipelines.
