The core idea:</strong> your life is a set of domains, each a folder of markdown you own. Show the folder. Local-first is the constraint everything follows from.<br> <strong>3. Model-agnostic by design:</strong> it is a harness, not a model. How it spawns the CLIs you already have + local Ollama, and why "any model" matters.<br> <strong>4.
