The Library

The Library is your local registry of reusable resources — domain profiles, knowledge folders, and extensions. You author and link resources here once; your Contexts then select from them. A single Library resource can be used by many Contexts, and removing it from a Context never deletes it from the Library or from disk.

Personal resources​

Everything you create or link in the app is personal and lives on your machine:

  • Domain profiles — create a new Markdown profile in-app, or link an existing .md file in place. Linked profiles stay at their original path, so you can keep them in a git repo and edit them in NeatContext's editor (edits save back to the same file). See Domain Profiles.
  • Knowledge folders — link a folder in place. NeatContext reads it where it lives; nothing is copied or uploaded. See Knowledge Bases.
  • Extensions — bundled connectors, plus any you Add or Create. See Using Extensions.

The Team Library (optional, read-only)​

A team can share approved resources through a Team Library: any folder that follows the convention

<team-library>/
  profiles/      # shared domain profiles (.md)
  knowledge/     # shared knowledge folders
  extensions/    # shared extension sources
  library.json   # marker file identifying the folder as a Team Library

typically kept as a git clone. Connect it from the Library page (and disconnect it there too). NeatContext treats it as read-only: team profiles and folders are view- and reveal-only, and team extension sources stay inert until you explicitly install them (see below). NeatContext never writes into the Team Library — contributing back is a normal git workflow.

Each resource shows its origin so you can tell built-in, personal, and team resources apart.

Installing extensions​

The bundled PagerDuty and Datadog connectors are ready to use right away. Any other extension — one you Add, Create, or that comes from a Team Library — has to be installed before you can use it: open Library → Extensions (or the Extensions page) and click Install, then review it. See Using Extensions.

Your files stay yours​

Linked profiles and knowledge folders stay wherever you put them on disk — the Library just points to them. Nothing in the Library is uploaded to a NeatContext server.
