Field notes

The project organizes its interface into Connect, Skills, Board, and Desk: connectors are authorized through the user's browser, skills are plain SKILL.md files, and generated documents remain as markdown on the user's disk. Its displayed fresh-install status includes a loopback address, 68 tools, a selected Gemini model, and three Welsh-named safeguards. The page also describes an offline Ollama mode, while separately presenting full source and installer availability as part of its upcoming open-source launch.
