Show HN: Shoggoth.db Self Organizing Database

Happy Easter HN

This year for my fun Easter project, I decided to revisit my HN first project from 10 years ago (a chatbot based on Wikidata), but with the technology and vibe of the day.

So this is in the same vibe as Karpathy's LLM Wiki : https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519... but with more limited permissions.

So let me introduce Shoggoth.db, a self building, self organising database.

Everything is done locally : single agent QWen3.5 35BA13 with limited network access to a single local wikix website, a a sqlite3 database, and initial prompt :

Which set his goal to explore the full wikipedia wiki, and build a dataset of mythological creatures and some facts about them.

The work is split in a sequence of short sessions, starting from scratch each time. So the fresh agent will discover the current state of the database and try its best to improve it during the work session.

Happy fun exploring safely.
