Tour¶

A first look at monsterbrain. All pictures show an example folder – the knowledge folder of a small tea shop, Northwind Tea – right after an AI agent prepared the launch of an autumn blend. The folder is in this repository (docs/_example/); scripts/docs-screens.sh takes the pictures again after every change to the app.

1. Open the folder¶

monsterbrain opens the last folder. The tree on the left marks changed files and counts them per folder.

The start page with the folder tree on the left — The start page: five files changed since the last commit.¶

2. Read a file¶

A Markdown file is shown rendered. The right panel shows its frontmatter, a link graph with links and backlinks, and what to check – here an updated date older than the last change.

A rendered Markdown file with its metadata — More in Files.¶

3. Any file type¶

HTML runs live, translations show as a table, code is highlighted.

An HTML page in monsterbrain — The shop’s website, as in a browser.¶

4. See what the agent changed¶

Ctrl 2 lists every changed file. j and k step through them; each diff is rendered for its file type.

The diff of an HTML page, before and after — The agent changed price and text of the autumn page. More in Changes.¶

5. Follow the concepts¶

Ctrl 3 lists the concepts and what each one produced.

6. Claude points at what it means¶

Claude opens a file and highlights the passage it talks about.
