Vaults
ConceptsA vault is a folder of your notes with a name of its own — one Lyt indexes and your agent can search. Underneath, it is a local-first, Git-backed folder of markdown you control: Lyt's durable unit of knowledge.
What a vault is
A vault holds ordinary .md files. Use any editor, inspect it with Git, or work with it by hand; Lyt adds structure and operations around the files without replacing them with a proprietary database.
Records and derived state
The markdown is the content source of truth. Lyt stores machine-readable YON declarations alongside it and maintains libSQL indexes as derived, regenerable state for search and local views. Reindexing recreates the derived data from the files and declarations.
Create or adopt
Initialize a new vault in a named mesh, or adopt an existing markdown folder additively. A vault receives a stable identity and becomes available to the local pod.
lyt vault init personal/notesWhat lives inside
Notes are Figments with a consistent frontmatter contract. Vaults belong to meshes and participate in a pod. lyt search reads the local indexes across that pod.
