Overview

Section titled “Overview”

The sidecar is .lokf/, a dot-folder beside a project’s code, like .git/, and kept out of the project’s build. The README it carries says it “does not touch the app build; it is independent tooling you can run on its own”. It holds the bundle at .lokf/knowledge/, the scripts that check and write the bundle, and their docs. A knowledge_bundle link beside it names the bundle for folder pickers that hide dot-folders.

The same word names the first role in the architecture page’s table, which lays the network, and the ktl-sidecar skill that plays it. The skill installs .lokf/ from bundled templates once, and later repairs a broken sidecar file.
