# PARA Knowledge Base — Claude Code Plugin

> **LLM as Knowledge Compiler** — Karpathy's LLM Knowledge Base pattern, optimized for PARA Obsidian vaults

## Inspiration

Inspired by [Karpathy's llm-wiki](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f) — the idea that an LLM should act as a **knowledge compiler**, not a search engine. Rather than re-retrieving and re-summarizing raw notes on every query, knowledge is compiled once into structured wiki-style articles, then maintained incrementally as new information arrives.

This plugin applies that pattern to PARA-structured Obsidian vaults.

## Why this plugin?

If you already have a PARA vault with hundreds of notes, Claude Code can read them — but **every conversation starts from scratch**. Each query re-reads files, re-discovers structure, and burns tokens figuring out what's where.

This plugin fixes that by adding a **persistent knowledge layer** on top of your existing vault:
