A place for what you know.

Itakua is memory for the agentic world. One brain of plain files, kept under your rules, that every agent you use can read.

itakua.app Drag anything. What belongs to it comes along.

How it works el-sapo/itakuaGitHub

Notesnotes/ log/ docs/ inbox/

Every space has the same four places.

A brain is a folder of spaces: guitar, the house, a project at work. Each space holds the same four places, and each place means one thing.

You and your agents know where something goes before you open the folder. A space can hold smaller ones, and they have the same shape.

notes/
What you knowRewritten as you understand more, always with your approval.
log/
What happenedDated entries. Added to, never rewritten.
docs/
Your documentsScores, PDFs and sheets stay in Google Drive. Notes link to them.
inbox/
Captured, not filedIt waits until you ask. Nothing in it counts as a source.
spaces/guitar/One space, as it sits on disk.

The log only grows

Notes say what is true now. The log says what happened then. When an entry turns out wrong, the correction goes underneath and the original stays.

  1. First class. Relative chords, and the thumb over the neck.

  2. Class. Triad inversions on the top three strings.

  3. Class. The Dorian mode over a D minor vamp.

  4. Class. Playing along the neck instead of inside one box.

Captureinbox/

Nothing becomes a note until you approve it.

Record a class with Dictalo, drop in a file, or type a thought on your way out. It lands in the inbox and waits. Nothing processes it on its own.

When you ask, an agent reads the item, writes the log entry and proposes a change to your notes. Automation proposes. You decide.

From Dictalo. A 47 minute class, as a transcript and a summary.

notes/dorian-mode.mdProposed

Play the mode along one string before learning a shape. What matters is hearing the raised sixth against the minor chord.

Sync~/brain

It is a folder. Sync it your way.

Itakua does not move your files. Keep the brain in Git, in iCloud Drive, or on whatever already carries your folders between devices.

The rules live in the folder as plain text, so they travel with it. Large documents stay in Google Drive, where they already are.

  • GitEvery change kept, on a remote you own.

  • iCloud DriveOr let your devices carry the folder.

  • Google DriveHolds the documents. Notes point to them.

  • Something elseAnything that syncs a folder will do.

~/brainPlain text is small. It syncs anywhere.

Readerread search edit

Read it anywhere.

The Reader opens your brain on a phone or in any browser. Search every note, pick up where you left off, fix a line while you wait for the bus.

Each note says where it lives and when it last synced. A link to another note and a link to a document look different, because they are different things.

Prefer Obsidian? Every brain is already a valid vault. Open the same folder there and keep your plugins.

A minor scale with a raised sixth. Over a D minor vamp, that B natural is the note to lean on.

Every agent reads what you allow.

One socket serves the same memory to each agent you use, at your desk or on your phone. You choose which spaces it serves.

An agent sees the notes in those spaces and nothing else. Logs, the inbox and every other space are left out, and what is left out looks exactly like something that does not exist.

It is read-only. An agent can offer you text. The brain changes only through you.

Marketplaceel-sapo/itakua

Install it where your agents work.

The framework ships as one plugin with two skills. One teaches an agent how to work inside a brain. The other sets a brain up on a new machine.

Add the marketplace once. The same two skills load in Claude and in Codex.

Claude

claude plugin marketplace add el-sapo/itakua --scope user
claude plugin install itakua@itakua --scope user

Codex

codex plugin marketplace add el-sapo/itakua
codex plugin add itakua@itakua

Start a new session afterwards. Skills load when a session starts.
