# Lumen

Lumen connects an Obsidian vault to a local research backend, so related notes surface while you write and reports come out of what's already there.

[Source code](https://github.com/Slaymish/Lumen)

Independent plugin and backend development. TypeScript, Python and local model inference.

The plugin talks to a Python orchestrator split into ingestion, retrieval, inference and memory packages, and the local model streams progress back to the interface.

Citations get checked against source blocks before a report is shown. Everything stays on the machine.

## State

A released plugin and backend with note surfacing, report generation and source checks.
