Bootstrap was creating .wiki/SUMMARY.md + WORKFLOW.md + source/ — none of
which match Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern or what wiki-maintainer reads first.
The skill had to bend around an invented layout (no schema file, wrong
catalog name, missing log/overview/entities/concepts/packages).
Rewrote Step 3 to create the canonical layout verbatim:
.wiki/CLAUDE.md schema (project-specific conventions)
.wiki/index.md catalog
.wiki/log.md append-only op log
.wiki/overview.md project overview
.wiki/raw/README.md immutability note
.wiki/{entities,concepts,packages,sources}/.gitkeep
Pinned the gist URL inside the schema:
https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f
Bumped dist/project-bootstrap.skill, recorded the why in
.wiki/source/wiki-realignment.md, and queued migration of *this* repo's own
.wiki/ (still on the old layout) as a backlog task — to be done deliberately.

Wiki realignment to Karpathy canon
2026-04-28.
What was wrong
project-bootstrap Step 3 was creating .wiki/SUMMARY.md, WORKFLOW.md,
and a source/ folder. None of these match Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern
or what the wiki-maintainer skill reads:
| Bootstrap created | Canon expects |
|---|---|
SUMMARY.md |
index.md |
WORKFLOW.md (duplicates skill) |
(no such file — workflow lives in wiki-maintainer) |
source/ (singular) |
sources/ (plural) |
| (missing) | .wiki/CLAUDE.md schema |
| (missing) | log.md (append-only op log) |
| (missing) | entities/, concepts/, packages/, overview.md |
| (missing) | raw/README.md |
When wiki-maintainer triggered, it had to bend around an invented layout:
the schema file it expects to read first wasn't there at all, and the
catalog had the wrong name.
Fix
Rewrote project-bootstrap Step 3 to create the canonical layout verbatim:
.wiki/
CLAUDE.md schema (project-specific conventions)
index.md catalog of all pages
log.md append-only op log: ## [YYYY-MM-DD] op | desc
overview.md single human-readable project overview
raw/README.md raw/ is immutable; this documents that
entities/ concepts/ packages/ sources/ (with .gitkeep)
Each file has its initial content baked into the SKILL.md so bootstrap can write them without external assets.
The Karpathy gist is pinned at the top of .wiki/CLAUDE.md:
https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f
What about this repo's .wiki/?
This repo was itself bootstrapped with the old buggy layout. Its .wiki/
still uses SUMMARY.md + source/. Migrating to canon is a directory
rename + file moves; queued as a backlog task to do consciously rather than
silently bundling it here.
