Sources pass through a verification gate that sends failed pages back, become a cross-linked vault, and answer the questions you ask it

What it does

You have more worth reading than you have time to read properly. Books bought for two chapters. Reports skimmed once. Transcripts you meant to come back to.

second-reader turns it into something durable: a Markdown vault holding the knowledge from those sources, checked against the originals, that your agent can teach you from, compare across, and advise you with later.

Before anything joins the vault, a second reader checks it against the original. It reads the source cold, without seeing how the first pass reasoned, and sends back whatever is missing, overstated or wrong.

Open the folder in Obsidian or any Markdown editor. Every fact is cite
