What others are building on the LLM Wiki pattern. Karpathy's gist drew 900+ comments and 200+ distinct projects in the months after posting — a fast, crowded, still-forming space. These pages synthesize that landscape rather than list every link: a survey, a few featured projects most relevant to our goal (OKF-conformant, portable skills), and the critical debates worth heeding before we build.

  • Landscape - the categories of implementations and where the energy is.
  • Critiques & Open Problems - truth maintenance, token cost, and the "markdown vs. database" debate.
  • Competitor Comparison - current comparison of okf-skills, openknowledge, openwiki, and agent-knowledge/Janet.

Selected for scale, quality, or direct relevance to the OKF + portable-skills direction.

  • okf-skills (scaccogatto) - the closest direct competitor: Claude Code OKF skills (author/validate/visualize), plugin + skills.sh.
  • openknowledge (openknowledge-sh) - the most tooling-complete: a Go CLI with a registry, viewer, exporters, and agent maintenance loop.
  • kiso (oak-invest) - the consumer half: a Java engine that publishes OKF bundles as static sites (llms.txt + sitemap).
  • OmegaWiki - the most complete realization; a full-lifecycle research platform (~1.5k★).
  • karpathy-llm-wiki (Astro-Han) - Agent-Skills-compatible wiki for Claude Code/Cursor/Codex (~1.3k★).
  • wiki-skills (kfchou) - Claude Code skills implementation; closest in shape to what we're building.
  • okf-harness (pumblus) - an explicitly OKF-compatible local harness — on our exact format.
  • synthadoc - a no-tools, self-managed compilation engine (~0.5k★).
  • commonplace (zby) - theory-forward, review-gated; also maintains an agent-curated list of related systems.
  • openwiki (langchain-ai) - LangChain's CLI; now emits OKF bundles in both code and general-knowledge "Personal" modes — a direct peer with no truth-maintenance model documented in its README.
