Architecture

How the pieces fit together: a graph-first substrate, derived projection surfaces, editor and agent integration, and a hosted collaboration layer. Graph-owned semantic truth is the source of authority. Every other surface stores, serves, or extends it.

Kin ecosystem layers

Graph-first substrate → optional projections / VFS → editor & bundled MCP surfaces → proprietary hosted collaboration. Projection and retrieval surfaces consume graph-owned truth.

How truth flows

  1. 1

    Graph-first substrate

    Graph-owned semantic truth is the source of authority: the repo format, daemon, and review/provenance semantics, backed by the embedded engine, retrieval, and local inference.

  2. 2

    Projections & VFS

    Kin VFS presents graph-derived files to compatible tools on glibc Linux and macOS. Native Windows has no released VFS, and macOS injection is subject to host security limits.

  3. 3

    Editor & agent surfaces

    The Kin Editor extension and the MCP server bundled in the main Kin repository give humans and supported AI agents graph-native search, context, trace, and edits.

  4. 4

    Hosted collaboration

    The proprietary KinLab control plane is an early-access hosted product for teams, org memory, governance, and report-only review.
