Overview
Section titled “Overview”The architecture page names a role after the library profession: the librarian binds it into order. It scrapes the repository, derives concepts with their sources, classifies them, links them with typed relationships, audits, and hands off for review. Like a real librarian it catalogues without vouching: facts about the repository, never verdicts about truth. It runs often, including on a schedule, and starts each run from its work list.
The ktl-librarian skill plays the role (ktl-librarian skill). It writes the bundle only through the pen, which marks each concept it creates status: draft until a person confirms it through the curator.
The data-management sense of the word curator is the librarian’s job. The curator is the museum sense.
