Getting started

Workspace anatomy: vault, docs, tables, agent

A simple mental model: vault = house, documents and tables = rooms, agent = the housemate who actually does chores.

Local-first & privacy

Syncing your vault with Git to a private repo

Markdown is Git-friendly. A `.gitignore`, a private GitHub repo, and a login hook — sync done.

Ready when you are.

Kition is a local-first AI workspace. Markdown documents, structured tables, and an AI agent — running on your own machine, against the model provider you choose.
