The LLM Wiki pattern is powerful: compile raw knowledge into interlinked pages that compound over time. But when your wiki lives in markdown files inside Obsidian, you lose the most important thing — spatial context.
Levelry gives your compiled knowledge a visual canvas. Concepts become objects. References become connections. Your wiki has a shape you can actually see.
The term comes from Andrej Karpathy's widely-shared idea: instead of retrieving knowledge on the fly with RAG, compile it once into a persistent, interlinked wiki. Each concept gets its own page. Pages link to each other. Your explorations compound.
The pipeline is simple: dump raw sources into a folder, run them through an LLM, and get
structured wiki pages back with [[wikilinks]] between related concepts.
Every implementation outputs markdown files. You open them in Obsidian, get a text-based graph view, and browse them like any other note collection. But knowledge has shape. Systems have dependencies. Lore has layers. Mechanics connect to each other in specific ways. A folder of files can't show you that.
Levelry takes the same compiled knowledge and puts it on an infinite canvas. Instead of browsing files, you see the structure. Instead of clicking through links, you zoom and pan across relationships. Instead of maintaining two tools (a compiler and a viewer), you have one: a visual knowledge base with AI copilot and MCP support.
| Obsidian | Levelry | |
|---|---|---|
| Compiled knowledge input | Markdown files | Canvas objects |
| Visual structure | Graph view approximation | Infinite spatial canvas |
| Documents per concept | Separate .md files | Embedded in every object |
| Layer separation | Folders/tags | Canvas layers |
| AI copilot | Plugin-dependent | Built-in, canvas-aware |
| MCP support | Community plugin | Native |
| Connections between concepts | Wikilinks in text | Visual links on canvas |
Game Design Documents are wikis by nature. Mechanics connect to systems, systems connect to lore, lore connects to characters. LLM Wiki gives you the compilation step. Levelry gives you the visual layer where all those connections actually make sense.
Your GDD stops being a folder of documents and becomes a map you can navigate, rearrange, and expand without losing the context of how everything fits together.
Researchers, writers, and anyone building a personal knowledge base: the LLM Wiki pattern solves retrieval. Levelry solves comprehension. When you can see how 50 concepts relate, you make decisions faster than clicking through 50 files.
