Query-as-edit workflow turns questions into wiki pages with enforced citations.

Strengths

•Citation linting forces claims to reference real source files before publishing.
•Query synthesis automatically becomes reusable pages, compounding knowledge over time.
•Template engine lets you replicate this wiki structure for any topic domain.

Weaknesses

•Narrow initial audience unless the template gains adoption beyond Karpathy content.
•Cognee dependency means you're locked into their memory engine architecture.

Post Description

I created one simple place to consolidate all of Karpathy's stuff, like his essays, courses and GitHub projects. You can browse it like a normal wiki, or ask it a question. Every answer cites the underlying source and gets saved as context graph that can build a new page, so asking a question is the same as editing the wiki. I made it very strict about citations. Claims have to point at a real source file or the linter complains. I think it feels closer to Wikipedia than to a chatbot. This project is not affiliated with Andrej and all material is public. The engine I created is a template, so you can point it at any topic and build your own wiki.
