This is the digital one.\n\nChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, DeepSeek, Perplexity — one click, every\nconversation becomes a Markdown note with YAML frontmatter, wikilinks\nand asset folders, written straight to your disk. Drop the folder into\nObsidian and the knowledge graph builds itself.\n\n*Your AI work belongs on your disk, not on someone else's server.*\n\n[![MIT License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow?style=flat-square)](LICENSE)\n[![Chrome MV3](https://img.shields.io/badge/Chrome-MV3-4285F4?style=flat-square\u0026logo=googlechrome\u0026logoColor=white)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore)\n[![Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/version-0.2.0-00bcd4?style=flat-square)](package.json)\n[![Schema](https://img.shields.io/badge/schema-v0.2.0-7fffd4?style=flat-square)](FORMAT_SPEC.md)\n[![Local-first](https://img.shields.io/badge/local--first-yes-22c55e?style=flat-square)](#privacy)\n\n---\n\n## Why this exists\n\nYou spend hours per week inside AI tools. Every conversation is real\nintellectual work — outlines, drafts, characters, lore, code, decisions.\nAlmost all of it dies in someone else's sidebar.\n\nKura is the **export layer**. It does one thing well:\n\n1. Detect the platform you're on.\n2. Pull the conversation cleanly.\n3. Write it to `Kura/` on disk as Obsidian-compatible Markdown.\n\nWhat you do with it after is *yours*. Point Obsidian at the folder and\nget the graph. Run a Claude Code skill to extract entities. Pipe it\ninto your second brain of choice. Kura never assumes.\n\n---\n\n## Quick start\n\n1. Install the extension *(Chrome Web Store link coming with v0.2.0\n   submission — see [CHROME_WEB_STORE_GUIDE.md](CHROME_WEB_STORE_GUIDE.md)\n   for manual install while it's in review)*.\n2. Open a conversation on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek or\n   Perplexity.\n3. Click the Kura icon → **Export to Kura**.\n4. Files land at:\n   ```\n   ~/Downloads/Kura/\u003cplatform\u003e/\u003cYYYY-MM-DD\u003e_\u003cslug\u003e/\n   ├── conversation.md\n   ├── prompts.md\n   └── assets/\n   ```\n5. Open `~/Downloads/Kura/` as a new Obsidian vault — the wikilinks,\n   backlinks and graph view light up immediately.\n\n---\n\n## Supported platforms\n\n| Platform     | Conversations | Inline media | Generated media |\n|--------------|:-------------:|:------------:|:---------------:|\n| ChatGPT      | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ (DALL·E) |\n| Claude       | ✓ | ✓ | — |\n| Gemini       | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |\n| Grok         | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ (Imagine images + video) |\n| DeepSeek     | ✓ | — | — |\n| Perplexity   | ✓ | — | — |\n| Google AI Studio | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |\n\n---\n\n## What gets written\n\nEvery exported conversation becomes a folder. Inside, a single Markdown\nfile is the canonical record:\n\n```markdown\n---\nid: a8d9e1c4-...\nslug: 2026-05-13_naming-the-extension\ntitle: \"Naming the extension\"\nplatform: chatgpt\nsource: https://chatgpt.com/c/a8d9e1c4\ncapturedAt: 2026-05-13T22:14:00+02:00\ncapturedBy: kura/0.2.0\nschemaVersion: 0.2.0\nmessageCount: 24\nhasMedia: true\nhasCode: false\ndurationApprox: 47m\ncharacters: []\nlocations: []\nartifacts: []\nlore: []\nthemes: []\nstatus: raw\nworldbuilding: false\ntags: []\n---\n\n# Naming the extension\n\n\u003e **Platform:** chatgpt · **Source:** [chatgpt.com/c/a8d9e1c4](…) · **Captured:** 2026-05-13T22:14:00+02:00\n\n## You\n\nWhat if we renamed the vault to something more iconic?\n\n## ChatGPT\n\nThree candidates — Kura, Mnemosyne, Stele …\n```\n\nThe frontmatter is the **contract** — anything you build on top of the\nvault (skills, dashboards, automations) reads from those fields.\n\nFull schema: **[FORMAT_SPEC.md](FORMAT_SPEC.md)**.\n\n---\n\n## The Kura workflow\n\nThe extension is one piece of a three-stage system:\n\n```\n┌──────────────────┐    ┌────────────────────┐    ┌────────────────────┐\n│  Export          │ →  │  Process           │ →  │  See               │\n│  (this ext)      │    │  (Claude Code skill│    │  (Obsidian graph,  │\n│                  │    │   /kura-process)   │    │   your second brain)│\n└──────────────────┘    └────────────────────┘    └────────────────────┘\n   browser → disk         disk → clean notes        disk → visual graph\n```\n\n- **Export** (this repo): the extension. Local-first. No account.\n- **Process** (Claude Code): the [`kura-process`](.claude/commands/kura-process.md)\n  skill walks your `Kura/` vault and emits clean per-conversation notes\n  in Obsidian-ready form.\n- **See**: Obsidian's native graph view shows the connections forming in\n  real time from the wikilinks in your frontmatter.\n\nThe moat is **not the extension**. It is the format + the skill + the\necosystem of integrations that build on top. The extension is the on-ramp.\n\n---\n\n## Integrations\n\nKura is the open standard. Anyone can build on top.\n\n### Arcanea Kura — worldbuilding specialization\n\nArcanea (the creator universe that originally built Kura) ships its own\nspecialization layer for storytellers and worldbuilders:\n\n- **[`/arcanea-kura-process`](.claude/commands/arcanea-kura-process.md)** —\n  a richer processing skill that extracts characters, locations,\n  artifacts, and lore from each captured conversation, emitting per-entity\n  notes under `_entities/` for Obsidian graph view.\n- **Opt-in mirror** to the Arcanea second-brain via the\n  `Send to Arcanea` button in the popup. Off by default, fires only on\n  explicit click. See [`arcanea.ai/kura`](https://arcanea.ai/kura) for\n  the specialization page and [`arcanea.ai/privacy/kura`](https://arcanea.ai/privacy/kura)\n  for the policy.\n\nThe Arcanea layer is purely additive. The sovereign Kura extension never\ncalls Arcanea on its own.\n\n### Build your own\n\nThe format spec is stable at v0.2.0. Build a Logseq integration, a\nNotion sync, a vector-index over your Kura vault, a Quartz publisher —\nanything that reads YAML frontmatter and Markdown can read Kura.\n\nPRs welcome.\n\n---\n\n## Install (manual / developer mode)\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/frankxai/arcanea-vault kura\ncd kura\npnpm install\npnpm build\n```\n\nThen in Chrome:\n\n1. Open `chrome://extensions/`.\n2. Toggle **Developer mode** (top right).\n3. **Load unpacked** → select the `dist/` folder.\n4. Pin the extension to the toolbar.\n\nThe repo URL is still `arcanea-vault` until the GitHub rename to `kura`\nlands — the product name is **Kura** v0.2.0.\n\n---\n\n## Privacy\n\n- Everything captured lives on **your disk** inside `Kura/`.\n- IndexedDB is used only as an in-extension lookup index for fast\n  cross-conversation queries. The filesystem is the source of truth.\n- No telemetry. No analytics. No account required.\n- A single optional **Send to Arcanea (opt-in)** button exists in the\n  popup for users who want to mirror exports to their Arcanea second-brain.\n  It is off by default and never fires without an explicit click.\n- Host permissions are limited to the AI platforms the scrapers run on,\n  plus `arcanea.ai` for the optional bridge. Nothing else.\n\nFull policy: [arcanea.ai/privacy/kura](https://arcanea.ai/privacy/kura).\n\n---\n\n## Roadmap\n\n| Version | Scope |\n|---------|-------|\n| **0.2.0** *(current)* | Sovereign Kura: local-first vault, Obsidian-compatible markdown, generic `kura-process` skill, optional `arcanea-kura-process` worldbuilding skill, redesigned popup, sidepanel library, Playwright extension test. |\n| 0.2.1 | Side-panel browser improvements; in-extension full-text search. |\n| 0.3.0 | Per-platform scraper hardening (DOM drift fixes); idempotent re-capture; PNG screenshot export. |\n| 0.4.0 | Real-time graph preview inside the side panel (D3 + frontmatter links). |\n| 0.5.0 | Logseq / Anytype integration recipes. |\n\n---\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\npnpm install\npnpm typecheck        # tsc --noEmit\npnpm build            # one-shot production build to dist/\npnpm dev              # watch mode (active dev only)\npnpm lint             # eslint\npnpm test:extension   # Playwright end-to-end against built dist/\n```\n\nStack: TypeScript 5, Vite 5, `@crxjs/vite-plugin` for MV3, Playwright\nfor browser integration tests.\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nMIT — see [LICENSE](LICENSE).\n\n---\n\n*Kura is built by [Arcanea](https://arcanea.ai) and given to everyone.\nUse it for fiction, for code, for therapy notes, for anything you write\nwith an AI that you want to keep.*\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffrankxai%2Fkura","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffrankxai%2Fkura","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffrankxai%2Fkura/lists"}
