Compiled context is where LocalBrain stops being a place you store notes and starts being a system that understands them.
What they are
For every project and person that shows up across your vault, LocalBrain assembles a single page: recent activity, decisions, open loops, participants, and related notes, gathered from every note that mentions it. You do not write these pages. They are compiled from the structure already in your notes.

They maintain themselves
As the underlying notes change, the pages are regenerated on the background sweep. A decision recorded in today's call shows up on the project page without you lifting a finger. When nothing has changed, nothing is rewritten.
Still just files
Each page is an ordinary markdown file under .memory/context/, with a banner noting that it is generated and safe to delete. It is readable with the AI off, portable to any tool, and every write is journaled and reversible.
How to use them
Open the .memory/context/ folder to read a page directly, or just ask the AI about a project. When a matching context page exists, LocalBrain loads it into the conversation so the answer is grounded in your actual decisions.
