Burton stores the wiki as a git repository of markdown per account. That is the knowledge moat: files you can clone, review, and restore.

  • Create files and folders. Nest or hoist with drag-and-drop.
  • Link pages with [[Wiki links]] or ordinary Markdown.
  • Every save, move, rename, and folder change is a git commit. History restores an earlier version.
  • Connect a remote and branch, then Sync (pull/push) or Clone. Deleting a folder hoists its pages instead of destroying them.
  • Open pages in Obsidian or Zed when those editors are enabled.

The built-in engine is llm-wiki (Karpathy-style). Conversation intelligence is the same idea: git-versioned markdown keyed to a contact, not a hidden transcript blob.

Disk on a production host: BURTON_WIKI_ROOT (and matching roots for conversations and sites), typically under /var/lib/burton.
