🧠 Knowledge & Memory
SummarySecond brain your agents read and write, over a git-backed markdown vault. Authority-aware search ranks superseded and archived notes below live ones (from frontmatter, no vector DB), so agents quote the current doc, not the dead one. Per-agent read-only or write tokens, a git audit trail of every change with diffs, a knowledge-graph dashboard, and Obsidian compatibility.Persistent, local-first AI memory: a semantic knowledge graph of plain Markdown files that humans and LLMs both read and write. Works with any MCP client, with optional cloud sync and team workspaces.
