FLAIWHEEL
A self-improving knowledge base for AI coding agents. Self-hosted. MCP-native. Knowledge compounds automatically.
// HOW THE FLYWHEEL WORKS
Every bugfix you document gets indexed. Every architecture decision you record becomes searchable. The next time any AI agent hits a similar problem, it finds the answer instantly. Knowledge compounds.
THE CYCLE NEVER STOPS. KNOWLEDGE ONLY GROWS.
// FEATURES
SEMANTIC SEARCH
AI agents find docs by meaning, not keywords. Architecture decisions, past bugs, patterns — all searchable via MCP.
STRUCTURED WRITE TOOLS
6 category-specific tools enforce quality at the source. Bugfixes, architecture, API docs, best practices, setup guides, changelogs.
QUALITY GATE
Pre-commit validation + ingest-time quality checks. Bad docs are skipped, never deleted. You own your files.
GIT AUTO-SYNC
Pulls and pushes to a dedicated knowledge repo. Write a bugfix summary — it's committed, pushed, and indexed automatically.
SEARCH METRICS
Hit rate, miss rate, per-tool usage. See if your knowledge base is actually being used and where the gaps are.
SELF-HOSTED
Runs in a single Docker container on your machine. No cloud, no API keys required, no data leaves your network.
// 15 MCP TOOLS
Works with Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code Copilot — any MCP-compatible AI agent.
