LLM Wikis Are Over-Engineered — I Replaced Mine With a Pure Python Compiler
Most "LLM wikis" use agents, embeddings, and repeated model calls to organize local notes. I built a deterministic alternative: a pure Python compiler that turns messy markdown into a linked, linted wiki using only the standard library. Along the way, I fixed two real bugs, benchmarked the pipeline on two operating systems, and showed why a compiler is often a better fit than an agent for mechanical text organization.
