v0.2.0 - Build a company brain your team owns
cowork-os grows from "a Cowork workspace with memory" into what it was always for: a company brain your team owns — the decisions, context and processes your work runs on, in plain Markdown you can read, correct and govern. Not a memory engine, not a vendor you rent.
New
- Knowledge Transfer skill + /cowork-os:knowledge-transfer: an objective-first interview that captures the tacit know-how in a person's head and writes it into the workspace as processes, rules with a source, glossary and open questions. This is how the brain gets built from people, not just files.
- A real elicitation engine, not a questionnaire: after a few standard questions it builds each follow-up from your last answer — starts from a real case, pounces on hedge words ("usually", "it depends"), contrasts with a novice, separates the official process from the real one, and reconstructs the workflow for you to correct.
- Process capture in onboarding: /cowork-os:install ends by offering to capture your most at-risk process with a bus-factor question ("if your most experienced person were away a week, what breaks first?"). ~15 min, skippable.
- context/processes/: the home for how work actually gets done.
- Proactive by default: offers to turn recurring work into scheduled routines and repeatable jobs into custom skills.
Changed
- Repositioned to "build a company brain you own": README, banner, demo GIF, social preview, description and topics.
Why it matters: the model is a commodity; the moat is your company's context, and context you rent isn't yours. cowork-os is the open way to build one you keep.
