**Turn scattered reading and half-formed ideas into a design you can defend** — a skill, a system, a video script, even the structure of an article. The human adjudicates, the agent runs the errands.

An [Agent Skill](https://agentskills.io) (Claude Code plugin, works with any SKILL.md-compatible agent): feed it sources and rough ideas as you go — it files and links them, records how your thinking evolves, and assembles the evidence into a system design.

Markdown keeps the record; the canvas makes it readable — every source and idea you add lands on the board, one glance away from any decision's why.

What This Does

• Sources file themselves — drop papers, repos, blog posts; the agent files one card per source, grades it, and anchors every claim to where it came from.
• Ideas are yours alone — only a human creates an idea card; the agent links it to evidence, clusters neighbors, and surfaces conflicts instead of picking a side.
• Output assembles on your word — one command turns surviving ideas into the deliverable, and every later sync runs on yo
