SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables users to manage and explore their long-term memory through a command-line interface that maintains a structured, interconnected knowledge graph in Markdown files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Memory Capture and Organization: Record thoughts, ideas, and notes quickly, categorizing them within a structured hierarchy for easy retrieval.
  • Linking and Exploration: Create typed relationships between notes to reveal complex associations, navigable through commands like neighbors, backlinks, and subgraphs.
  • Knowledge Graph Visualization: Generate and regenerate scene images to visualize hierarchical data, abstract concepts, or systems as metaphorical scenes, aiding comprehension and recall.
  • Use Case: A researcher documents key concepts and their relations, then visualizes the entire knowledge landscape as an interconnected scene for faster understanding and presentation.

Quick Start

Capture a quick note about the project using the CLI, then organize it into a structure, link related notes, generate visual scenes, and explore connections interactively.
