ugraph.build is live — and the daily habit starts
Today we kick off building ugraph in public: an open-source CLI that turns any input — clipboard, paste, pipe, file, URL — into a local, agent-navigable knowledge graph, with quotes that must survive a substring check against the source.
The bet
Most “AI knowledge” tools summarize into a black box. Agents then cite vibes. ugraph takes the opposite stance: filesystem-native Markdown, content-addressed chunks, and a verify gate that refuses a claim unless the capture literally contains the quote. That’s the product.
If you’re a developer who already lives in Obsidian, git, and agents — this should feel like plumbing you own, not another SaaS memory layer.
What shipped today
- Site repo —
ugraph-webon GitHub Pages as the public face. - Custom domain —
ugraph.buildwired toward Pages (DNS cutover from GoDaddy Website Builder). - Day-1 journal — this page. A daily ship log starts here.
- Install path —
uv tool install ugraph-kit· CLI remainsugraph.
What’s already real in the CLI
- Any-input capture (clipboard, pipe, file, URL) with confirm UX
- Ingest with resume + repair-state
- Extract → candidates with citation checks
- Local-first backends (Ollama) alongside API models
- Plain Markdown KB Obsidian and agents can open without a database
What’s next (this week)
- Dogfood a full capture → extract → verify loop end-to-end
- Ollama-first story in the README (no API key to try)
ugraph askwith cited answers- Merge-on-compile so concepts harden across sources
How to follow / help
Star and watch
github.com/tekvo-ai/app_ugraph_kit.
Install with uv tool install ugraph-kit. Issues and adapters welcome —
the highest-leverage contribution is another source type that writes the same
two capture files.
Day 1 done. Tomorrow: one concrete CLI improvement, posted here.
