Primary tools included: Loads a mined profile through one MCP tool, Reads supported local agent session logs, Separates profiles into task-oriented layers.
Find where your notes disagree — contradiction detection for markdown vaults.
Loads your personal profile, mined from your local Claude Code/Codex/OpenCode logs, so your agent works like you instead of a cold start. One tool, loademuloprofile. Run with uvx emulo mcp.
Scan the vault for note pairs with high concept overlap but conflicting numerical or qualitative claims. Returns all detected conflicts with the specific issues flagged.
check_pair
Run the full contradiction check between two specific notes (by path or filename stem). Returns the detailed conflict analysis — shared concepts, quantitative conflicts, negation conflicts.
extract_claims
Pull all quantitative claims (numbers with units) and negation patterns from a single note. Useful as input to your own verification pipeline.
generate_reconciliation_prompt
For a detected contradiction, produce a structured prompt you can feed to an LLM to reason through the conflict and suggest a resolution. Preserves the exact claims + shared concepts + both notes' context windows.
