# Claimframe

Claimframe is a free, open-source, local-first assertion memory workbench for architects, consultants, and technical advisors.

It helps users capture sourced assertions from meetings, documents, repositories, transcripts, and manual notes while a discussion is still moving. Claimframe stores claims with provenance instead of flattening them into unsourced prose or premature truth, then supports fast recall through query and graph lookup.

## Audience

- Software consultants
- Solution architects
- Field engineers
- Technical advisors
- Fractional CTOs
- Engineering leads working inside complex client domains

## Key Concepts

- Assertion: a sourced claim about a subject, predicate, and object.
- Source: the person, document, transcript segment, repository path, or import run that produced the assertion.
- Provenance: evidence that explains why an assertion exists, including timestamps, locators, authors, speakers, files, or commits.
- Conflict: disagreement between assertions. Claimframe preserves conflict for review instead of hiding or overwriting it.
- Quick capture: `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+C` opens a fresh assertion input.
- Quick query: `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Q` opens fast recall for graph lookup during a live conversation.
- MCP vault: the local assertion store exposed through Claimframe's MCP server for token-efficient agent and LLM access.
