User-scoped, cross-project knowledge graph that persists extracted intellectual content (findings, mechanisms, theories, paper relationships) across projects and sessions. Layers on top of Zotero with richer content than raw bibliographic metadata. Eight modes: (1) INGEST — add papers from Zotero, PDF, lit-review output, DOI, or manual entry; (2) SEARCH — query by topic, author, theory, method, or finding; (3) RELATE — add or view inter-paper relationships (cites, contradicts, extends, replicates, uses-method, uses-theory); (4) STATUS — graph stats, recent additions, coverage; (5) EXPORT — project subset as markdown or NDJSON; (6) COMPILE — generate Obsidian-compatible markdown wiki (papers, concepts, topic clusters, contradictions, gaps); (7) ASK — answer research questions from the compiled wiki, save answers back; (8) RE-EXTRACT — re-run extraction on raw sources to upgrade papers or apply new schema.
