A 'Matter OS' workspace that turns each legal matter into a curated knowledge base with agent tooling and an activity feed.

Early days: a single commit ahead of upstream with one focused thread of work, last touched mid-June 2026 - a clear bet, not yet a steady cadence.

This fork, from user-in-search-of-a-name, builds a "Matter OS" layer on top of Mike's existing project-and-matter model. The idea is to treat every matter as a structured workspace rather than a folder of documents: a curated knowledge base of typed entries - facts, parties, dates, clauses, positions, playbooks, and sources - paired with agent tools that can work against that knowledge, and an activity feed that tracks what's happening on the matter.

The handle itself tells you where this is: user-in-search-of-a-name hasn't settled on branding yet, and the fork is exactly one commit ahead of upstream. So this is a single, opinionated bet about how legal AI workspaces should be organized - curate the matter's knowledge once, then let agents and people work from a shared, typed source of truth.

If you're curious how the knowledge model is shaped, or where the agent tooling is headed, the GitHub repo is the place to look. It's early, but the direction is legible.
