**Tremula is self-maintaining memory for AI-assisted development.** It keeps an
Obsidian-compatible markdown knowledge graph about your codebase — modules, key
functions, architectural decisions, conventions, cross-service contracts — and
maintains it automatically while you work.

## Why

AI coding agents start every session amnesiac, and hand-written docs rot.
Tremula closes both gaps with two cooperating loops:

- **Reactive — an MCP server** exposing six tools to any MCP client:
  `search`, `get_context` (a topic *plus* its graph neighbors), `read_note`,
  `write_note`, `link_notes`, `split_note`.
- **Ambient — lifecycle hooks** that work without being asked: capture session
  events to a cheap local log, inject the vault's index at session start,
  silently attach the few notes relevant to the files being touched, and
  distill durable knowledge (decisions, conventions, contracts) into notes in
  a debounced background process.

Retrieval is a funnel, never a dump: a ~2k-token index at session start,
graph-expanded context on demand, small working-context attachments per prompt.
Context overhead stays constant no matter how large the vault grows.

## How the vault gets built and maintained

| Mechanism | When | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| `tremula bootstrap --brief` | once, instant | zero LLM — docstrings + tree-sitter AST |
| `tremula bootstrap [target ...]` | wherever you choose to go deep | ~one small LLM call per module |
| …
