LLM Wiki

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The core idea

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.

Enable SSL in Apache (OSX)

The following will guide you through the process of enabling SSL on a Apache webserver

The instructions have been verified with OSX El Capitan (10.11.2) running Apache 2.4.16

Next, generate two host keys:

Automatic TiShadow Installs

Execute "tishadow run" in your Titanium app directory whenever a JavaScript file changes. Edit your JS files in a text editor, save, then switch to the test device or simulator. Profit.

[sudo] npm install -g supervisor

	// this helps because chrome's network tab's
	// "preserve log" seems to technically preserve the log
	// but you can't actually LOOK at it...
	// also the "replay xhr" feature does not work after reload
	// even if you "preserve log".

	window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function() { debugger; }, false)

	return $product;
	}

	// Includes functions for exporting active sheet or all sheets as JSON object (also Python object syntax compatible).
	// Tweak the makePrettyJSON_ function to customize what kind of JSON to export.
