Show HN: A Karpathy-style LLM wiki your agents maintain (Markdown and Git)

· ai devtools web · Source ↗

TLDR

  • WUPHF runs a team of AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw) in a shared office backed by a git-native Markdown wiki agents read and write as collective memory.

Key Takeaways

  • Wiki lives at ~/.wuphf/wiki/ as a local git repo with typed fact triplets, per-entity append-only logs, LLM-synthesized briefs, and a /lint suite for contradictions and orphans.
  • Agents write to private per-agent notebooks first; only explicit agent judgment promotes a fact to the shared wiki – nothing graduates automatically.
  • Fresh-session-per-turn design achieves 97% Claude API prompt cache hit rate; a 5-turn session costs $0.06 vs accumulated orchestrators growing from 124k to 484k tokens over 8 turns.
  • Per-agent MCP scoping keeps DM mode at 4 tools and full-office mode at 27, shrinking prompts and improving cache alignment.
  • Pre-1.0 with daily main movement; the README explicitly says pin forks to release tags, not main.

Hacker News Comment Review

  • The sharpest engineering concern is LLM sprawl: multiple builders report that unconstrained agents write so much that the wiki degrades in utility as it grows, with no clear mechanism to prevent it.
  • Several commenters noted this is the third agent-memory or LLM-wiki project on the HN front page within 24 hours, raising fragmentation risk – each team building their own system duplicates effort without a convergence point.
  • Skeptics challenge the core premise: automated note-taking removes the cognitive act of shaping a mental model, so a wiki agents fill may produce stored text with no understanding behind it.

Notable Comments

  • @johntash: ran similar experiments and found LLMs document relentlessly until the wiki becomes a mess; asks how WUPHF prevents unbounded growth.
  • @mncharity: flags TiddlyWiki (20+ years old, self-modifying single HTML file) as prior art for agentic self-editing wikis, noting Git integration is the open problem there.
