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-vaultRequires 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: trueharness 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:
| System | What's missing |
|---|---|
| Karpathy raw → wiki | No template; you build it manually |
| AI Impact infinite_brain | 16 node types, 10 edge types — over-engineered for solo operators |
| Tiago Forte PARA | Designed for human re-reading, not agent retrieval |
| Cole Medin AI second brain | Static identity files; no ingestion model; Claude-only |
| Nick Milo Ideaverse-OS | Vault 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.
