+# Cofactor
+
+Cofactor is a local-first memory index for Markdown corpora and AI agents. It scans notes, extracts structural signals, precomputes catalyst-style questions, and searches documents through those questions without sending private text to a model at query time.
+
+Landing page: [Cofactor](https://jayhack.github.io/cofactor/)
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+npm install -g cofactor-memory
+```
+
+For one-off use:
+
+```sh
+npx cofactor-memory init ./notes
+```
+
+## CLI
+
+Index a Markdown corpus:
+
+```sh
+cofactor init ./notes
+```
+
+Inspect the local petri dish of entities and catalysts:
+
+```sh
+cofactor petri ./notes --json
+```
+
+Ask a search question:
+
+```sh
+cofactor catalyze "why did auth change direction around rollback?" --vault ./notes --json
+```
+
+Apply one corpus's catalysts to another local corpus:
+
+```sh
+cofactor apply ../project-docs --vault ./notes
+cofactor catalyze "session recovery tradeoffs" --vault ./notes --target project-docs --json
+```
+
+Install agent instructions:
+
+```sh
+cofactor agents codex .
+cofactor agents claude .
+```
+
+Run an MCP stdio server:
+
+```sh
+cofactor mcp ./notes
+```
+
+## What It Indexes
+
+Cofactor extracts local structure from Markdown, MDX, and text files:
+
+- frontmatter tags, inline hashtags, folders, and wiki links
+- creation/update timestamps from frontmatter or file metadata
+- document chunks and sparse TF-IDF vectors
+- deterministic catalyst-style questions for each salient entity
+- precomputed question-to-document links
+
+The index is stored under `.cofactor/` in the corpus root. Add that directory to `.gitignore` unless you intentionally want to version the generated memory.
+
+## SDK
+
+```ts
+import { catalyze, indexVault, petri } from "cofactor-memory";
+
+await indexVault("./notes");
+
+const graph = await petri("./notes");
+const results = await catalyze("where did we decide to rewrite auth?", {
+  vaultPath: "./notes",
+  limit: 5,
+});
+
+console.log(graph.entities);
+console.log(results.results);
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `init [vault]` | scan a corpus and write `.cofactor/index.json` |
+| `refresh [vault]` | alias for `init` |
+| `petri [vault]` | print entity and catalyst working memory |
+| `catalyze <query>` | search through catalysts and return relevant notes |
+| `apply <target>` | project current vault catalysts onto another corpus |
+| `agents <codex\|claude>` | install agent instructions |
+| `mcp [vault]` | expose `petri` and `catalyze` as MCP stdio tools |
+| `status [vault]` | report index metadata |
+
+## Development
+
+```sh
+npm install
+npm test
+npm run typecheck
+npm run lint
+npm run build
+npm publish --dry-run
+```
+
+Publishing will require an npm account with permission to publish `cofactor-memory`.
