Expect some bugs and unfinished polish as development continues. We welcome feedback and contributions!\n\n## The Deep Knowledge Cycle\n\n**Flint aim is to build deep knowledge by supporting the complete learning cycle of externalizing (getting ideas out), internalizing (making them yours), and resurfacing (bringing them back repeatedly over time to ground memory).**\n\nMost tools optimize for one part of this cycle. Flint optimizes for the entire process.\n\n### 1. Externalize\n\nGetting ideas out of your head without barriers. The system handles organization so you can focus on thinking.\n\n### 2. Internalize\n\nMaking ideas yours through connection and reflection. This is where notes become knowledge.\n\n### 3. Resurface\n\nActive recall brings past ideas back at optimal intervals, grounding them in memory.\n\n## Core Principles\n\n- **Notes as thinking units** - Think in ideas and connections, not files and folders\n- **Agent assistance, not replacement** - AI helps with structural tasks while you think\n- **Frictionless capture** - No barriers to writing things down\n- **Plain text first** - Markdown files you own, no proprietary formats\n- **Local-first** - Your data stays on your machine\n- **Open source** - No vendor lock-in, community-driven development\n\nRead [docs/FLINT-OVERVIEW.md](docs/FLINT-OVERVIEW.md) for a deeper understanding of Flint's philosophy.\n\n## Quick start\n\nFlint is built with Electron, Svelte 5, and TypeScript.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Install dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Start development server\nnpm run dev\n\n# Run linter and TypeScript checks\nnpm run check\n\n# Run tests\nnpm run test:run\n```\n\n## Command Line Arguments\n\nFlint supports command line arguments for automation and scripting:\n\n```bash\n# Open a specific vault by name\nflint --vault \"My Notes\"\nflint -v \"My Notes\"\n\n# Open a vault by ID\nflint --vault-id vault-abc12345\n\n# Import a directory of markdown files as a new vault\nflint --import /path/to/markdown/folder\nflint -i /path/to/folder\n\n# Import with a custom vault name\nflint --import /path/to/folder --vault-name \"Custom Name\"\nflint -i /path/to/folder -n \"Custom Name\"\n```\n\n## Documentation\n\n- **[Getting Started](docs/GETTING-STARTED.md)** - Step-by-step setup guide\n- **[Flint Overview](docs/FLINT-OVERVIEW.md)** - Philosophy and core beliefs\n- **[Core Concepts](docs/architecture/CORE-CONCEPTS.md)** - Fundamental concepts\n- **[Architecture](docs/architecture/ARCHITECTURE.md)** - System architecture\n- **[Design](docs/architecture/DESIGN.md)** - UI design and components\n\n## Contributing\n\nFlint is open source and welcomes contributions!
