    "description": "Napkin as a local-first file-based agent knowledge fabric. Uses\nprogressively disclosed information architecture where agents start\nwith index files and drill into detail on demand. Knowledge is stored\nas plain files on disk — no database, no external service. The\nprogressive disclosure pattern reduces context window waste by loading\nonly the knowledge an agent needs at each reasoning step. As a\nknowledge fabric, Napkin trades retrieval sophistication for simplicity\nand portability — any agent that can read files can use it.\n",

This mirrors how humans navigate\ndocumentation and is particularly effective for agents with limited\ncontext windows or when operating on large knowledge bases.\n"
