It focuses on the full lifecycle: collecting scattered context, organizing it into durable knowledge, keeping it fresh over time, and making it useful when people or AI tools work.\n\n## Second-Brain Lifecycle\n\nUse this repo to decide how you want your second brain to work end to end:\n\n| Stage | Key question | What to compare |\n|---|---|---|\n| Collect | How does context from chats, docs, apps, notes, calendars, Slack, email, code, and files enter the brain? | Connectors, imports, APIs, manual notes, custom collectors |\n| Organize | Does raw context become structured knowledge instead of a pile of embeddings? | Entities, facts, links, summaries, timelines, tags, Wiki/pages |\n| Evolve | Does memory improve as new context arrives and old context gets stale? | Consolidation, deduping, correction, refresh, dream/maintenance loops |\n| Use | Can the right context show up when a person or AI tool is doing real work? | Search, grounding, filters, citations, AI-tool access, write-back |\n| Govern | Can users and teams inspect, correct, delete, export, scope, and trust the brain? | UI, provenance, activation evidence, permissions, personal/team boundaries, local/cloud control |\n\n## Choose by Lifecycle Gap\n\nStart with the second-brain lifecycle stage that is blocking you most. If you want an optimized end-to-end second-brain solution that covers Collect, Organize, Evolve, Use, and Govern without hand-assembling local collectors, graph jobs, or memory infrastructure, [Membase](solutions/membase.md) is the default starting point.
