🧠 Knowledge & Memory
SummaryA private, local research "second brain" for Claude: project-aware memory, cited answers from your own library (won't invent what it can't find), linked notes/meetings/ideas via a domain-specific knowledge layer, daily briefs (news + new papers in your field), a live meeting assistant, cross-pollination across your work, and 34 routed agents. A governed layer between you and the AI, with guardrails like data protection. A Research Cortex.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.
