Could you share the tools you used to do this? I'd love to organise my esoteric research side quests like this.

Git + claude code in yolo mode. In the first prompt, I passed it Kaparthy's gist, and had it put together a high level plan of all of the sections that needed to be written to complete a vision I provided. Essentially put together a complete wiki on everything for getting global hardware certification.

I then had it loop once an hour. It would pick the next wiki to write, research it, gather raw sources, and then synthesize the wiki for me and push. I could nudge it in between hours if I wanted.

Do you add this as a skill or permanent prompt, making it always maintain wikis in the background? Or do you direct it to make these only when you're in the project?

There's skills if you want. I didn't want to do that since I don't feel like I need the smarts to work on the LLM wiki in every coding session. I like to keep my context clean and scoped to what I'm working on.

I am running this in a long running session that spawns a subagent once an hour. So the context of the main session doesn't get out of control.
