Terso
Compile chaos into context.
Local context compiler for coding agents. The open-source engine inside Omnus.

Sync context into repos
Terso compiles your captured knowledge into structured Markdown files
and writes them into .terso/generated/
in each project repo. Frontmatter tracks freshness and provenance.

AI agents read it naturally
Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and any agent that reads files will pick up your context automatically. No APIs, no MCP servers, no authentication complexity. Just Markdown files next to your code.

How it works
01
Capture
Dump thoughts from CLI, Telegram, web paste, or webhooks. Raw and unstructured is fine.
02
Compile
Classify, split multi-topic input, deduplicate, scan for secrets, and structure into typed fragments.
03
Sync
Write compiled context as Markdown into each project repo. Frontmatter tracks freshness.
04
Agents read
Cursor, Claude Code, and any file-aware agent picks up your context automatically. No setup.
