trie
Trie stores meaning and intent documentation for symbols and decisions directly in a git repository as plain Markdown files under triefacts/. It automatically syncs with code changes, enforces documentation via commit gates, and provides persistent context to coding agents so they do not need to rediscover the codebase each session. The tool works with multiple languages including Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Rust, C, and Lua. It is designed for teams that want to preserve institutional knowledge without relying on external services.
