The Curator

Build a second brain from what you read, share it with a team, and give it to your agents.

Official website: mycurator.xyz — ask its assistant anything about The Curator.

What it is, in plain words

One knowledge folder on your own computer, three things you can do with it — always in this order, and each one optional past the first:

	What it is	Where
① Second brain	Your reading, turned into a wiki that compounds with every source	Domains, Chat
② Shared Brain (optional)	The same wiki, written together with a team	a domain's Shared Brain section
③ Agent memory (optional)	What your agents read at the start of a session, and save as they work	Context

A local app that turns what you read into a compounding wiki, shares it with a cohort, and holds your projects' context — Documents, Memory and Knowledge — so any agent, in any harness, resumes where the last one stopped. Plain markdown, in your own repo.

The Curator is the context engine. It builds and keeps the context your work runs on — what you have read, where the work stands, and the documents a project is built against — as plain markdown files on your own computer, and carries all three across sessions, machines, AI tools and models.

The building half is what you touch first. You drop in the things you read — PDFs, Markdown and text files: articles, notes, transcripts — and The Curator turns them into a connected personal wiki: a page for every person, tool and idea worth one, all linked to each other. Every new source updates the pages that already exist instead of adding another copy, so the wiki gets better the more you feed it, and you can ask it questions in ordinary language and get answers that point at the pages they came from. None of it needs an account, a database, or anything of yours on anyone else's server.

The three kinds of context it carries

Kind	What it holds	How it changes	Example
Compounded knowledge — the wiki	Entities, concepts and summaries, cross-linked into a graph	Accumulates — a new source updates existing pages instead of duplicating them	A page per person, tool and idea across everything you have read
Volatile state — the standing brief, the handoff, the journal (on screen since v3.65.1: Memory)	Where a piece of work stands, per project	Supersedes — each save replaces the last, because a resolved blocker must not come back	Where you stopped, what you decided, what to do next
Canonical documents — foundations, new in v3.59.0 (on screen since v3.65.1: Documents)	Architecture, decisions, conventions, roadmap — verbatim	Replaced whole — always added through two doors, Add from this computer and Add from GitHub, both always enabled; since v3.69.0 one project can mix documents written here, copied in, and mirrored from up to 8 folders and GitHub repositories at once, each kept fresh by its own Refresh	The document an agent should not start work without
