Show HN: Almanac – A self-updating wiki from your files

Almanac, a self-updating wiki tool that organizes uploaded files and automatically restructures content, was launched on Hacker News. The tool features a CLI for AI agent interaction, a Python SDK, and an MCP, aiming to provide agents with better context than traditional RAG systems. An open-source version for code, CodeAlmanac, is also available.

I was maintaining a wiki for my company's context through a hacky project I had made, but I wanted to turn that into something that's a lot more polished and easier to use. I wanted something where: 1. I could use it for myself or I could share it with my teammates. 2. I could upload sources, and the wiki gets created and updated automatically. 3. It is extremely agent-native, because my primary mechanism of interaction would be through my CC or Codex. So I built Almanac. It takes whatever sources you upload, organizes them, and creates a wiki on top of it. Every time you upload new sources, it reorganizes, restructures, and updates the wiki. The agent interacts with the wiki through a CLI. Similar to Vercel, you can link a folder locally to a wiki, and your agent will then automatically have context of it. I also wanted to make it easy to develop on this platform. I think wikis are a much better way of giving your agent access to quality information compared to RAG. So there is also a Python SDK as well as an MCP that you can use to build on top of it. The project is still early, and I would love any feedback or feature requests that you have. Btw we've also made an open-source version of Almanac for code called CodeAlmanac https://github.com/AlmanacCode/codealmanac https://github.com/AlmanacCode/codealmanac Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48885134 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48885134 Points: 1 Comments: 0
