A pattern for building persistent, LLM-maintained knowledge bases as "idea files" ready to be used with Claude Code and similar agents. Instead of traditional RAG that re-retrieves at query time, LLMs incrementally build and maintain a structured wiki—compiling knowledge once and keeping it current. The approach divides responsibility: humans curate sources and ask questions; LLMs handle maintenance, cross-referencing, and consistency.
