Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Myco Battam1111 Knowledge & Memory	Scrivener MCP writerslogic Knowledge & Memory
Summary	Agent-first cognitive substrate with 18 manifest-driven verbs (germinate / eat / assimilate / sporulate / traverse / immune / molt / …) and 25 lint dimensions enforcing contract invariants mechanically (R1–R7). Cross-session / cross-project memory via a self-validating filesystem graph — AST + markdown-link derived, not embedding-based. Provider-agnostic by design: MP1/MP2 dims forbid LLM-SDK imports in the kernel and plugin tree. Editable-default install. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, VS Code, and any MCP client.	Connect Scrivener 3 writing projects to Claude and other AI assistants. 47 tools for document management, writing analysis, semantic search, character/plot memory, and content enhancement. Progressive skill loading, relationship engine with HMS triplets, and JS fallback for offline semantic search. npm i -g scrivener-mcp
