Personal Knowledge System

A layered local knowledge system that separates immutable source records, reusable knowledge and AI-readable operating guidance.

Chat memory is not a knowledge system

AI conversations are fast, but sources, corrections and decisions often disappear with the session. This project keeps immutable raw records, reusable knowledge and operating rules as separate layers, with every synthesis pointing back to its source.

Keep source, synthesis and control separate

Raw records cannot be replaced by summaries; AI proposes rather than silently rewrites; routine queries are read-only; and audits check source drift, not only file formatting.

A record becomes reusable without replacing its source

New material is preserved unchanged before any synthesis is proposed. Only human-approved updates enter the knowledge layer; retrieval and source-drift checks remain separate operations.

03Review it manuallyA bounded step in the reviewed workflow.

Sixty-nine maintained pages remain traceable

Sixty-nine maintained knowledge pages can be reused across tools while retaining a route back to dated source records.
