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

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 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.
