Wiki Origin Story

Kevin's wiki started as a bet that agents should compile knowledge once and keep it current, not re-derive answers from scratch every session.

The schema follows the Karpathy LLM Wiki pattern: flat markdown files, readable schema, no vector DB required for truth. Source: AGENTS.md Kevin reads; agents write. Raw sources in raw/ stay immutable; compiled pages in wiki/ get rewritten when evidence changes. Source: AGENTS.md

Career Profile describes the wiki as the project that taught Kevin what agents need long-term: persistent memory, compounding knowledge, structured harnesses, and feedback loops. Source: Career Profile The operating rule is No One-Off Work: if Kevin asks twice, it should already be a skill on a cron. Source: AGENTS.md

Capture Ingest Protocol formalized chat capture ("add it") as a full graph integration, not a single-file dump. Source: Capture Ingest Protocol The Brain-Agent Loop and qmd hybrid search make lookup brain-first before any external API. Source: The Brain-Agent Loop

Nicky's wiki participation is part of the origin: Kevin promised to teach her frontend engineering; creating this wiki is where that teaching actually starts. Source: Kevin Liu
