I actually was using this quite a lot earlier this year, thanks for this!

What I actually ended up doing was regularly pointing Claude at the Rowboat directory. Really useful to have all of this context available as markdown files.

I use my own standard format for all context capsules, and had my own branch running with that format hacked in.

Being able to describe the format in a plugin style architecture would be awesome.

Granola notes silently stopped working when they decided to encrypt the DB, interesting to see you've got your own in there now.

Will check it out again.

That is great to know!

We heard of others pointing Claude to the knowledge graph. It made us double down on building a Claude desktop alternative, so we could couple them deeply. For instance, there are places you could provide feedback on emails to Rowboat and that goes into the knowledge graph which then improves the email handling. Something like this would be hard, if we did not control the assistant as well.

Would love to see your context capsule format. We could definitely make it possible to describe your own format.

Granola no longer working was what led us to build it natively.

Welcome back. Would love your thoughts on the product.

    The format is:

    Context Capsules cover business concepts (even org structure), all the way through to implementation. Compounding value from bounded context.

    I implemented the Granola Sync when rowboat stopped pulling it in (I have a year's worth of transcripts of pretty much every conversation I've had over the past year).

    One shot granola sync in both TypeScript and go from a single Context Capsule:

    Nightmare passing markdown files around in this day and age, and yet they are the future. DownKeep is my personal attempt at keeping some sanity, not production!

      This is brilliant, thanks for sharing!

      We're exploring a company brain - team-level context rather than just individual, and the context capsule seems like a great way to distill the individual knowledge graph into team level useful context!

      Thanks for the Granola script. Yep, I never imagined markdown would be the killer format.
