The problem
Sources live in one place, notes in another, drafts somewhere else and AI conversations disappear after the paragraph is written.
What goes in the repository
- Research
- Source notes
- Outlines
- Arguments
- Drafts
- Editorial decisions
- Reference material
writing/ ├── index.md ├── sources/ ├── ideas/ ├── outlines/ └── drafts/
Why an open repository helps
When the argument and its sources share a history, later revisions can see why a sentence exists.
How Okide helps
Okide keeps the outline, the sources and the draft in one repository you can diff as the piece changes.
Humans and agents, same files
Writing agents can work from the evidence and decisions behind the draft, not only the latest text.
OPEN BY DEFAULT
Keep the repository. Change the tools around it.
The published piece can move. The reasoning behind it should stay inspectable. Okide helps you work with the repository without turning it into an Okide-only format.
