AI Encyclopedia

The open-source, community-driven AI knowledge base. GitHub repos, articles, videos, tools — all scraped, documented, indexed, and cross-referenced. Add a source, get rich documentation.

What Is This?

A living knowledge base that turns AI resources into organized, actionable documentation.

You add a source → Scripts scrape & process it → Rich docs are generated → Master index auto-updates

Three types of knowledge:

1. Individual Source Docs — Deep-dive on each repo/article/video with use cases and how-to guides
2. Topic Guides — Cross-source knowledge grouped by theme (e.g., "MCP Servers", "AI Agents")
3. Master Index — Searchable catalog of everything, auto-generated

Quick Start

Add a New Source

Via CLI:

npm install  # first time only

# GitHub repo
node scripts/add-source.js --type github-repo --url "https://github.com/owner/repo" --topics "ai,agents"

# Article or docs
node scripts/add-source.js --type article --url "https://example.com/post" --topics "llm,tutorial" --title "My Article"

# YouTube video
node scripts/add-source.js --type youtube --url "https://youtube.com/watch?v=xxx" --topics "demo,ai"

# Then process and index
node scripts/process-sources.js && node scripts/build-index.js

Or just edit sources.json directly:

{
  "id": "my-new-source",
  "type": "github-repo",
  "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo",
  "topics": ["ai", "agents"],
  "added": "2026-03-02",
  "status": "pending"
}

Contributing

We welcome contributions! See CONTRIBUTING.md for full guidelines.

The short version:

1. Fork the repo
2. Add your source to sources.json or improve docs in knowledge/
3. Run node scripts/build-index.js to verify
4. Submit a PR

Quality bar: We only accept verified, high-quality sources — official docs, well-maintained repos (50+ stars), reputable publications. No spam, no marketing fluff.

How It Works

Auto-Processing Pipeline

sources.json (you add a URL)
    ↓
process-sources.js (scrapes content, generates docs)
    ↓
knowledge/ (rich markdown documentation)
    ↓
build-index.js (rebuilds master index)
    ↓
KNOWLEDGE_INDEX.md (searchable, cross-referenced)

GitHub Action

When you push changes to sources.json, the GitHub Action automatically:

1. Processes any "status": "pending" sources
2. Rebuilds the knowledge index
3. Commits the generated docs

License

MIT License — use it, fork it, build on it.
