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.
