What it does
Drop a markdown file in a folder and a local model reads it, pulls out concepts, and writes or updates wiki articles that link to each other. Reject a bad draft with your reasons and the next compile takes them into account, so the thing sharpens as you use it. Defaults to Ollama, works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The author has moved it to maintenance mode and points to Synto as the successor — worth checking before committing years of notes. MIT.
