Cognition Workbench v0.1.0
The first public release delivers a complete local-first cognition loop for Codex: discuss a topic incrementally, consolidate conclusions into review candidates, confirm durable knowledge, and recall it during later AI and product work.
Highlights
- Three reusable Codex skills: guided discussion, contextual recall, and one daily topic.
- Nine local MCP tools for search, context building, relationships, status, candidate review, confirmation, and daily topics.
- Inspectable Markdown storage with explicit provenance, confidence, cognition status, and revision history.
- Portable installer for Windows, macOS, and Linux, including safe dry-run behavior.
- No telemetry, hosted account, vector database, or author-specific path.
- Bilingual documentation and automated tests across Node.js 20 and 22 on all three major desktop operating systems.

Known boundaries
The first release uses weighted lexical retrieval and explicit relationship expansion. Semantic embeddings, a standalone interface, and large-scale imports are intentionally deferred until real usage justifies them.
