What it does

Built around a specific frustration: solving a hard problem, then solving it again months later because the answer lived in a chat log nobody can search. Point it at a folder, tell the agent what to keep, and it compiles what you learn into interconnected Markdown you own — the Karpathy LLM-wiki pattern, applied to an Obsidian vault. It is scaffolding, not content: the payoff depends on actually feeding it. MIT.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
