Agents

Your agents write. Knowtarium keeps them honest.

Knowtarium doesn't call an AI itself. The agents you already use do the writing and the checking, and every change they make is signed and waits for a second look.

Works with your agents

Bring the agents you already use.

Coding agents work on the files

Claude Code · Codex · Cursor

A bundle is just markdown on your disk, so these agents read and write it directly. Every change they make is signed with their name in generated.by.

Included with Knowtarium

Read the index first and follow links instead of loading everything. Sign what you write. After a person's edit, check the connected documents and propose fixes.

Chat apps connect over MCP

Claude Desktop · ChatGPT · any MCP client

Apps that can't reach your disk use the built-in MCP server. It runs on your computer and hands them only what they ask for.

In practice

You change a price. Your agent does the rest.

Ask your agent to check today's edits, and watch it work.

The consistency check

How an agent checks your edit.

  1. 01

    Start from the change

    The agent reads only the diff of your edit, not the whole document, and notes what changed: a price, a date, a name.

  2. 02

    Find what's connected

    It follows links in and out of the document, documents that share a source, and documents that mention the old value. It reads their titles and descriptions first, from index.md and the frontmatter.

  3. 03

    Open only what matters

    Only documents that look affected get opened in full, and it follows links one step further if needed. A check costs a handful of small reads, even in a large knowledge base.

  4. 04

    Record the result

    If everything matches, it adds its own verified entry and the document becomes fully verified. If something doesn't, it proposes fixes to those documents, and they wait for your review.

Chat apps

Connect over MCP.

Chat apps that can't read your disk connect to the MCP server built into Knowtarium. It runs on your computer, reads the same folder, and gives the app only what it asks for.

Add it to your app's MCP settings, pointing at your knowledge base. Agents with file access, like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, don't need this.
