MapCtx is an AI-first project workspace that supports local Markdown task boards, VS Code visual interface, bidirectional GitHub Issues synchronization, and a skill framework for multi-agent collaboration, providing a decentralized project context management solution for modern software development teams.
Section 01
MapCtx is an AI-first, local-first project workspace that uses Markdown for task management. It supports VS Code visualization, bidirectional GitHub sync, and multi-agent collaboration, addressing vendor lock-in, data silos, and AI access issues in traditional project management tools. Key features include local Markdown task boards, structured data for AI readability, and cross-tool sync.
Section 02
Modern teams face a paradox: centralized tools (Jira, Linear) have strong features but cause vendor lock-in, data islands, and offline unavailability. Simple Todo lists can't meet complex collaboration needs. AI assistants need project context (priority, dependencies) but traditional tools lock data in proprietary formats, making AI access hard. MapCtx aims to balance open data portability with strong management and AI collaboration.
Section 03
Design Principles: Local-first (data in Markdown files for control/offline use), deterministic structure (structured metadata for reliable parsing/AI access), human-AI interface (visual tools like VS Code Kanban alongside text files).
Architecture: Monorepo with subpackages (VS Code extension, sync engine, core parser, AI skills). The sync engine handles bidirectional GitHub sync with dry-run previews.
Section 04
Initialization: Create TASKS.md with structured task entries (ID, status, priority, etc.).
Daily Flow: Pull GitHub updates → Check status → Edit via VS Code/Kanban → Push changes.
GitHub Integration: Use GitHub CLI for auth (repo, project permissions). Supports bidirectional sync between local Markdown and GitHub Issues/Projects v2, with conflict reconciliation.
Section 05
MapCtx enables multi-agent collaboration via shared Markdown files. Example scenario: Claude Code creates refactor tasks → Cursor updates progress → Human reviews in VS Code → CI/CD syncs to GitHub. Each participant uses their preferred tool while staying synchronized through open Markdown format.
Section 06
vs Jira/Linear: MapCtx uses Markdown (open) vs proprietary formats; offline available vs no; no vendor lock-in vs yes; AI directly accesses text vs needs API; free vs subscription.
vs Obsidian/Notion: MapCtx adds structured task management, GitHub sync, multi-agent framework, and Kanban/roadmap views (missing in Obsidian/Notion).
Section 07
Current Limitations: Steeper learning curve due to structured Markdown; complex conflicts need manual handling; limited mobile support.
Future Plans: Web interface, mobile apps, more integrations (Linear, Asana), smarter AI for task decomposition/dependency analysis.
Section 08
MapCtx represents a new project management paradigm: local-first, AI-native, open format. It's not a replacement for Jira/Linear but an option for teams valuing data sovereignty, AI collaboration, and simplicity. It serves individuals (light task management), teams (decentralized collaboration), and researchers (human-AI experiment platform). As AI evolves, such tools will enhance human-AI collaboration.

Nornir MCP Server is an enterprise-level server based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It seamlessly integrates large language models (such as Claude) with the Nornir network automation framework, supporting natural language orchestration for multi-vendor network devices (Cisco, Arista, Juniper, etc.), and providing production-grade features like a dual-engine architecture (NAPALM + Netmiko), intelligent filtering, and a secure sandbox.
Bibliothèque Française LLM is a structured indexing and annotation project for French public domain literature designed specifically for large language models (LLMs). It integrates multiple authoritative sources such as DraCor, Common Corpus, and Wikisource, providing metadata indexing categorized by genre, author, and era, as well as in-depth annotations for dramatic texts (including characters, lines, stage directions, etc.). Its aim is to enable LLMs to efficiently read and understand classic French literary works.
Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
Folkering OS is the world's first AI-native bare-metal operating system, entirely written in Rust no_std without relying on Linux, POSIX, or libc. It can generate commands from scratch, compile them into WASM, and run them in 10 seconds, achieving true self-evolution.
