James personal wiki (Karpathy-style LLM wiki)

A personal knowledge base about James that AI assistants read to understand him and keep up to date on their own.

built Sep 2026 A second brain the AI can read

how it works

Plain markdown vault with a SCHEMA.md contract (frontmatter types, index.md registry, wiki-links) so any LLM (local Gemma "subconscious" daemon, Claude Code) can ingest and maintain pages; iCloud syncs to phone.

Technique: A pattern or hard-won lesson, written down so it isn't learned twice.

The code for this one lives in a private repo. This page explains the idea so you can build your own.
