Meowary

A second brain template for software developers — built on plain Markdown and an AI coding agent that maintains it with you. The name is a portmanteau of *meow* and *diary*.

What It Does

Meowary gives your AI coding agent persistent, searchable memory. Decisions, trade-offs, architecture rationale, team context — captured once, reused every session. The agent reads your notes before acting, so it stops asking things you already documented.

Clone the repo, run `setup.sh`, run `/bootstrap`, start your first day with `/morning`.

Supported Agents

Agent	Status
OpenCode	Full support
Claude Code	Full support

Both agents share the same workflows, skills, scripts, and reference material. `generate.sh` produces each agent's configuration directory from a single canonical source (`.shared/`). You choose your agent during setup; switching later costs one command.

Design Philosophy

Decisions evaporate without a system

Meowary borrows **Zettelkasten** staged understanding: raw capture → source notes → atomic cross-linked articles. [QMD](https://github.com/tobi/qmd) semantic search surfaces the right context before every action.

Capture must be frictionless

**Bullet Journal** rapid logging: dump everything into today's Inbox during the day. `/evening` sorts it. One command opens the day; one closes it.

Notes must develop, not accumulate

**Evergreen Notes** and **Digital Gardening**: articles are never finished, only more developed. Health scripts flag staleness.

Tools must compound, not fight

The same agent that writes your daily notes also reviews your pull requests — reading architecture decisions, team structure, and project history first. Organized by **PARA** (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive).

Architectural choices

• Progressive disclosure. The agent loads only what the current task needs. Morning routin
