abstract: >
  Synaptic Link is a local-first retrieval layer that enables AI agents to
  access personal knowledge bases (e.g. Obsidian vaults) through a
  three-tier progressive disclosure model: a hot cache always in context,
  a fast SQLite FTS5 index for on-demand retrieval, and full Markdown files
  for deep reading. Zero dependencies for core operations.
