Samenvatting
Andrej Karpathy called it a compiler, not a storage system. this diagram shows the architecture he described. most people who build a second brain treat it like a filing cabinet. they drop notes in. they search when needed. the library gets bigger over time but never smarter. a compiled wiki works differently. raw holds the source materials. unstructured. immutable. ground truth. wiki is where the model converts everything in raw into structured, linked, evergreen knowledge. the human reads it. the model writes it. output is where finished work lands. built from compiled knowledge, not from memory. at the center: CLAUDE.md. identity, preferences, goals, project context. the model reads it before every session. automatically. you never explain yourself again. the loop closes through update. every new source gets ingested, compiled, linked, and integrated. the system improves with every cycle. five automations run the whole thing. ingest captures and extracts. write retrieves and drafts. manage links decisions to context. review summarizes and reflects. maintain prunes and improves. the system improves with every cycle. automatically. retrieval answers questions. compilation builds understanding. the article above. build the compiler. not the cabinet.
