WGRA Nuggets

Browsable bites on the ideas behind the Wiki-Grounded Research Agent

One idea per nugget: short, self-contained, and browsable in any order. The flyer is the full pitch and the deep dives go long; these sit in between, a set of concepts you can graze rather than a story you follow start to finish.

Start anywhere. If you want the lineage, Karpathy’s llm-wiki is where the whole thing begins.

llm-wiki vs RAG: a first measurement

evidence

A first controlled test on one real research project: an agent navigating an llm-wiki answered questions more accurately than RAG over the same raw files, and with zero fabrications. Honest early numbers, with the caveats.

Decentralized identifiers

identity

Online identity today is issued and controlled by platforms; a decentralized identifier is one you own and can prove, and it is what would keep the federation’s discovery open while access stays gated.

Data fabrics

ecosystem

A data fabric is a metadata-driven layer that unifies distributed data where it lives; our knowledge graph and connectors are what let a wiki-grounded agent plug into one.

ControlMaster, and the credential-broker pattern

infrastructure

SSH ControlMaster reuses one authenticated connection, its real purpose is speed. The pattern worth borrowing is the credential broker: the agent never holds the secret.

Connectors are agents

ecosystem

In data integration a connector is a static, pluggable adapter (think Kafka Connect, Fivetran). For interpretive extraction, ours are agents instead, and a small ontology per source is what makes them reliable.

A marketplace for tools

ecosystem

The app-store model applied to agent tools: a catalog for discovery, versioning, updates, and trust, so a capability is installed, not hand-wired.

Agent federation

ecosystem

Federation means autonomous systems that interoperate with no central owner; here each group’s agent publishes an A2A agent card, so peers can discover and query its memory with permission.

Knowledge bundles

bundles

Packaging a knowledge base so any LLM can consume it, portable, not locked to a tool. Google’s Open Knowledge Format is the emerging standard; a bundle is our instance of it.

The deep dives

deep-dives

Five longer treatments on the WGRA site: memory that compounds, team scale, agent capability, the knowledge graph, and knowledge bundles.

Our recipe: the pattern made concrete

foundations

Karpathy’s note is deliberately ‘the idea, not a specific implementation.’ The llm-wiki-memory-template is the implementation: the schema, the graph pipeline, the discipline gates, the operations, and the multi-writer protocol, all decided and shipped.

Ontologies, kept small

graph

An ontology is a formal vocabulary for a domain; real ones are often large. This project’s stance is the opposite, keep it small, and a real PAD example shows why that is what makes an agent’s reasoning reliable.

The wiki is a knowledge graph

graph

Every typed edge reifies to an RDF triple, so the wiki is a SPARQL-queryable graph, which buys queries prose and grep cannot answer.

Wiki front matter: the typed edges

foundations
graph

A few lines of YAML at the top of each page carry the relationships that turn linked markdown into something an agent can reason over.

Karpathy’s llm-wiki

foundations

The pattern underneath everything here: an LLM that builds and maintains a wiki as it works, so knowledge compounds instead of being rediscovered on every query.
