How It Works

Index keeps source-controlled knowledge readable by people while exposing approved material to agents through a read-only MCP interface.

Knowledge Flow

  1. Maintainers record durable context in Markdown and structured metadata.
  2. index.json defines ownership, approved content roots, registries, lifecycle, and enabled interfaces.
  3. Contract, documentation, and workspace checks catch broken paths, malformed records, invalid dates, and unsafe metadata keys.
  4. MCP and Slack expose approved documentation and repository records through the same read-only search service.
  5. Clients can list, read, and search that context without gaining write access.

Design Principle

Prefer evidence-backed files with stable paths over knowledge that exists only in chat history or individual memory.
