+**A wiki for AI agents, and humans too.**
 
 `mind-map` is a wiki engine that stores pages as plain markdown files, indexes them with SQLite FTS5, and exposes them via MCP (for AI agents) and a REST API with web UI (for humans). One binary, zero runtime dependencies.

 ## Why a wiki?
 
-The idea of [LLM-maintained knowledge bases](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f) — where AI agents build and curate a persistent wiki rather than re-discovering answers via RAG — has been gaining traction. Tools like Obsidian or Tolaria are built with the user in mind, not the agent. `mind-map` puts the agent and the human on equal ground.

-- **YAML frontmatter** — structured metadata on every page (`title`, `type`, `status`, custom fields)
-- **Wikilinks** — `[[target]]` and `[[display|target]]` syntax, resolved to clickable links
-- **Backlink index** — every page knows what links to it
-- **Full-text search** — SQLite FTS5 with ranked results and snippets
-- **Multi-process safe** — SQLite page locking for concurrent agent access
-- **Git sync** — sync wiki pages to GitHub repo wikis via configurable mappings
