Build persistent, compounding knowledge bases where an LLM compiles raw sources into a structured wiki of interlinked markdown files. The human curates sources and asks questions; the LLM does all the writing, cross-referencing, and maintenance.
LLM Knowledge Base is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/llm-knowledge-base/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when: (1) creating a new knowledge base on any topic, (2) ingesting a new source document into an existing knowledge base, (3) querying a knowledge base for synthesized answers, (4) running a lint/health-check on a knowledge base, (5) setting up Obsidian integration for viewing. Triggers on phrases like "build a knowledge base", "create a wiki", "ingest this into the KB", "lint the knowledge base", "research and compile", "Karpathy wiki".
The LLM Knowledge Base Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 178,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/llm-knowledge-base/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. LLM Knowledge Base is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.
