Ask HN: Knowledge Access for Agents?

3 points·tmaly··1 comment

How do you expose your knowledge that you would like different agents or chat interfaces to have access to on a global basis?

Is it just a public git repo?

In some cases I have seen models struggling to access a public repo.

git or versioned path on cloud storage should work. Format is more important - I think hierarchical knowledge base is the best thing on the market atm. You keep main page with refs and short summaries to 5-10 topics. Model reads it and decides where to drop down next. You optimize the breadth and depth of topics for optimal performance. Dropping down is not a through away tokens - this helps model to understand wider context.

I use it in quite a few repoes:

-- https://github.com/sermakarevich/ai_knowledge_wiki Curated extraction of summaries from AI-related research papers, organized as a hierarchical wiki optimized for Obsidian and LLMs

-- https://github.com/sermakarevich/chunker/tree/master/output/... Chunker processes a document into a hierarchy of self-sufficient chunks and multi-level summaries, producing a set of linked markdown files that an AI model (or a human) can explore through progressive disclosure -- starting from a high-level overview and drilling into details on demand, without ever loading the entire document.

-- https://github.com/sermakarevich/kaggle_wiki A structured knowledge base of Kaggle competitions — solutions, notebooks, and indexes — built for fast lookup and reuse.
