The personal knowledge base build, in 60 seconds:
Total setup: 45 minutes this weekend. Then it compounds forever.
5 minutes: Setup
Create 3 folders: raw/, wiki/, outputs/. Drop a CLAUDE.md schema file in the root. Done.10 minutes: Dump
Copy-paste articles, notes, screenshots, meeting transcripts into raw/. Don't rename. Don't organize.30 minutes: Let the AI build
Point Claude at the folder. "Read everything in raw/. Compile a wiki following CLAUDE.md rules. Create INDEX.md first."
Walk away. Come back to organized articles, [[linked]] topics, and a searchable index.
Ongoing: The compounding loop
Ask questions. Save answers back to raw/. Every query makes the next answer better.Monthly: Health check
Tell the AI to flag contradictions, find unexplained topics, and suggest 3 new articles to fill gaps.
The system gets smarter the longer you use it.
Day 1 it's basic. Day 90 it's a company asset nobody else has.
