LLM Wikis Are Over-Engineered — I Replaced Mine With a Pure Python Compiler
Short summary
Most LLM wikis rely on agents and embeddings for note organization, but a deterministic Python compiler using only the standard library offers better performance and reliability. The author benchmarked this approach on multiple OSes and identified real bugs in conventional LLM-based systems. This demonstrates how traditional compiler techniques can outperform agent-based solutions for mechanical text organization.

- •Pure Python compiler using only standard library provides better performance
- •Benchmarked and validated on multiple operating systems with real bug fixes
