Clio

Clio revolutionizes knowledge organization by constructing a conceptual memory graph. Key features: • Maps how concepts connect via typed links (drives, part_of, enables, measures, analogy) • Retrieves information by following causal chains, not just text similarity • Creates a local knowledge graph from your files, reusable across queries • Significantly reduces token cost for information retrieval • Optimizes problem-solving by reasoning through structural relationships Clio transforms scattered project knowledge into an interconnected system that provides a structured understanding before deep diving into details. It identifies key concepts, observations, decisions, and explicit relationships within your data, storing them as a linked structure that accumulates over time while remaining human-readable. This system is designed for founders, researchers, operators, writers, and developers who work extensively with their own material. It runs locally, building a hidden layer beside your existing files without moving any data. Users can interact directly via the command line interface or install project-specific skills for integration with various platforms. Clio ensures a substantial reduction in both memory footprint and tokens required per query, making knowledge retrieval efficient and cost-effective.
