Hi HN,

for quite some time I've been thinking how LLMs are missing the knowledge base, where I can dump CSVs, PDFs, and most important, inline web app. running on Claude Code (bring your own agent) with agents with heartbeats and jobs

https://runcabinet.com

It runs locally and is installable via npm. GitHub (open source): https://github.com/hilash/cabinet

This is still very early. I put the first version together quickly after seeing a post by Andrej Karpathy about LLM knowledge bases, which matched closely with what I’d been building. Some people have already started trying it and opening PRs, which has been encouraging (got 374 stars in 2 days :] )

If useful: Waitlist for a hosted version: https://runcabinet.com/waitlist Discord (small, but growing): https://discord.gg/rxd8BYnN

Would really appreciate feedback: does this “KB + agents” model make sense? what would you expect from a system like this? where does this fall apart? Happy to answer anything.

I love this idea! I agree that LLMs often don't have the knowledge that's actually important (a frustration I have with ChatGPT is that it remembers unimportant things and then over-indexes on them in its responses).

Totally agree. The current memory implementations feel a bit meh. you don’t really control what’s stored or how it’s used. I’ve been thinking of it more as a visual knowledge layer you can inspect + operate on, rather than something implicit inside the model. Curious if you’ve found any tools that handle this well today?

obsidian is overkill for most people. however, if you are managing more than private repo, you would like to see one place for your ai agents + data, a KB +LLMs. Also, Cabinet is open source, it’s like Paperclip+obsidian together, open source and free. plus, as an engineer I feel very uncomfortable running closed software these days,as one skill can take over my computer.
