The problem
Research usually disappears into browser tabs, PDF folders, chat threads and final presentations. The conclusion survives while the evidence trail does not.
What goes in the repository
- Sources
- Literature notes
- Concepts
- Hypotheses
- Findings
- Contradictions
- Conclusions
- Unresolved questions

Why an open repository helps
A structured repository lets new research build on previous research instead of restarting it.
How Okide helps
Okide keeps sources, findings and open questions navigable as files, so the next pass starts from the evidence you already wrote down.
Humans and agents, same files
Research agents can read existing findings before searching again and can return new evidence as reviewable knowledge rather than leaving it inside a chat.
OPEN BY DEFAULT
Keep the repository. Change the tools around it.
A conclusion is easier to trust when the path back to the source is still in the repository. Okide helps you work with the repository without turning it into an Okide-only format.
