ideaverse-os

Your knowledge base, written by conversation.

Bootstrap a position-addressed, LLM-agnostic knowledge vault in one command. Karpathy's wiki pattern with conversational ingestion baked in. Works in any LLM harness — Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Codex, Gemini CLI.

Install

$ npx ideaverse-os init ~/my-vault

Requires Node 20+ and an LLM CLI of your choice.

What it does

Init
Scaffolds a position-addressed vault skeleton (numbered prefixes per Jake Chief / Nick Milo / Karpathy raw → wiki principles), drops a 6-file auto_inject: true harness layer, and writes router files for every major LLM harness.
Build
LLM-driven 5-phase interview that compiles your purpose, identity, workflow, and domain split into the lean files. Pick from 6 starter templates or go Custom.
Capture
Paste a YouTube link, save a page via Obsidian Web Clipper, or say “I learned X today.” The router dispatches to the right handler, refreshes your cortex articles, and cross-links — automatically.

Why

Existing knowledge bases force a tradeoff:

SystemWhat's missing
Karpathy raw → wikiNo template; you build it manually
AI Impact infinite_brain16 node types, 10 edge types — over-engineered for solo operators
Tiago Forte PARADesigned for human re-reading, not agent retrieval
Cole Medin AI second brainStatic identity files; no ingestion model; Claude-only
Nick Milo Ideaverse-OSVault template only; no LLM build flow

ideaverse-os ships the position-addressed architecture as a one-command bootstrap, then lets the LLM curate it as you converse.
