The personal knowledge base build, in 60 seconds:

Total setup: 45 minutes this weekend. Then it compounds forever.

  1. 5 minutes: Setup
    Create 3 folders: raw/, wiki/, outputs/. Drop a CLAUDE.md schema file in the root. Done.

  2. 10 minutes: Dump
    Copy-paste articles, notes, screenshots, meeting transcripts into raw/. Don't rename. Don't organize.

  3. 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.

  1. Ongoing: The compounding loop
    Ask questions. Save answers back to raw/. Every query makes the next answer better.

  2. 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.

We built a Claude skill that builds this entire knowledge base for you.
