Solid Scanned — metadata only

Maintaining project wikis is tedious and they quickly go stale.

Framework that lets an AI agent build and maintain an Obsidian vault as a persistent knowledge base, following Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern: compile what you learn into interconnected markdown notes instead of re-asking the LLM or re-running RAG. Skills are plain markdown files any coding agent can run (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and others); a Python CLI adds setup, query, lint, and doctor commands plus multi-vault routing with @name overrides.
