Stop re-explaining your work to AI.

Own your knowledge.
Plug in any AI.

One place for everything you know. Any AI can read it. It's yours for life.

The AI puts each item in the right place, and you can see and change every move it makes. Trust it, and check it.

See what is inside

Your memory, not your AI's.

BeforeYour context lives inside one AI, and you pay to keep it there.

AfterYour knowledge lives in plain files on your computer. It goes wherever you go.

A system that's written down.

BeforeEvery new chat starts with you explaining your work again.

AfterYour structure, rules and processes are written down once. Any AI follows them.

You stay in control.

BeforeMeetings, emails and projects sit in different apps, and things slip.

AfterThe AI puts each item in the right place. You see every move, and you can change it.

Bring any AI. Your context stays yours.

Example workflow. Inputs from Fathom, Gmail, Slack and Git go into Markdown folders organised by Work, Business and Personal. You can work with the files through Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, or edit them directly in Obsidian. Example outputs are Google Sheets, Google Slides and VS Code.

This diagram shows my own setup. The kit includes examples for local Markdown import and migration. You can add live connections separately.

How it works

Understand each part.
Add it deliberately.

A small Markdown foundation brings knowledge, instructions and repeatable work together. Explore a clear structure, then shape it around your own notes and ways of working.

01

Context

Keep short- and long-term knowledge in Markdown, organised by Domain. Optional character and voice guides are part of that context: lightweight roles using the same knowledge, without separate bots or a character for every Domain.

Domains, routing + optional character/voice guides included

02

Connections

Connections are pipelines: environment configuration and Python scripts that import material. Start with one deliberate local import. Add live services only after their access and behaviour are understood.

Local Markdown importer included; live connectors excluded

03

Skills

Save a short learning note, close actions only when evidence supports it, reformat Markdown, orient from sources and leave a useful handoff. Read, edit or extend the skill files yourself.

Editable skills + choose/use/edit/create guidance

One small working loop

Pick up a project.
Leave a useful handoff.

Ask your assistant to read the project source, show the evidence and suggest one next step. When you finish, request a handoff that records what changed and what is still open.

Project decisions stay in your vault. Build instructions and engineering history stay in their repositories, linked from the project.

Fictional example / project.md

Context
A one-page guide for a community reading group.
Decision
A single Markdown page is proposed. Approval pending.
Next step
Agree the outline scope before drafting.

Own your knowledge. Plug in any AI.
