Installation knowledge

knowledge A standalone SQLite3-backed knowledge base for tracking projects, observations, and concepts across independent experiments in the rsdoiel/Laboratory workspace. Extracted from the harvey terminal agent’s knowledge.go, this module provides a typed CRUD API (Open, AddProject, AddObservationWithSource, AddConceptWithIdentifier, Search, and related methods) plus UUID-based row identity and a SQL/ATTACH-based cross-machine merge tool, so other experiments and language-model harnesses can read and write structured observations directly instead of raw sqlite3 CLI inserts. Ships cmd/kb, a single “kb VERB ARGS” binary (matching the git/go command model) covering the full API with both human-readable and –json output, a merge verb for reconciling two databases that drifted independently, and a read-only interactive TUI browser for exploring projects, observations, and concepts.

Quick install with curl or irm
