knowledge and code bases can get too complex to take in all at once so you work with shadows: projections and abstractions that reveal different aspects of the same structure learning to shape those shadows and move between them is an art

a workspace and framework to build domain-specific systems for agentic knowledge work local-first, typed markdown and yaml (early alpha) @arsumbrisai github.com/arsumbris/arsumbr…

excited to share a walkthrough of @arsumbrisai build knowledge bases in typed markdown with your agents via mcp, then build your own apps and plugins on top of it everything lives in repos you can share and extend. a bit like packages for knowledge work

okay hear me out: an agent framework that operates on top of composable repos, with a type engine that reads them as one typed graph thats the substrate repos are like packages for knowledge and the capabilities for working with it you can package your knowledge together with the skills and mcp tools your agents use to work on it the ui components also live there the app is a shell that renders views on top of your substrate and those views are themselves defined in the substrate, through the same type system so you and your agent can work on your knowledge AND build the environment you use to work with it say youre building your company brain in there your customer notes and deal history already live in the graph you dont want to pay for a separate crm system when the data is already there so you and your agent build a crm on top of that data, right inside the same app e.g. a view of your sales pipeline, with each deal linked to the customer and the conversations behind it you can also share that view together with the types and agent workflows it needs to let them use your setup (but not necessarily your data) so someone else brings the repo into their workspace and uses it with their own company data
