Akno documentation

Akno logo

The root README is the short introduction. These guides explain the workflows and design in more depth without making every reader carry the complete implementation history.

See Folder-owned timelines to give work, projects, or other folders independent histories.

Start here

  1. Getting started — install Akno, choose a setup, index, and run the first recall.
  2. The memory lifecycle — see what humans, agents, and the dream cycle do to the files.
  3. Core concepts — understand pages, documents, roles, rules, citations, and result states.
  4. Reading memory or Writing and ingestion — follow the workflow you need.
  5. The dream cycle — understand maintenance before enabling scheduled writes.

Reference and internals

  • Configuration — config layers, secrets, models, profiles, and folder rules.
  • Command reference — purpose, write behavior, and model needs for every command.
  • How Akno works — indexing, retrieval, mutation, service, and recovery architecture.
  • Operations — services, schedules, diagnostics, privacy, recovery, and platform constraints.
  • Benchmarks — reproducible quality gates and current qualified-model evidence.
  • Limitations — current capability boundaries and deliberate non-goals.
