Redraft

What it does

Redraft transforms project documentation from a linear narrative into a structured, versioned design record. It allows AI agents to manage design decisions, rationales, requirements, and open questions as typed nodes in a graph, stored as plain Markdown files in Git. This ensures that the 'road not taken' (rejected alternatives) is preserved and queryable, providing a robust audit trail for engineering projects.

Tools

• create_node: Adds a new typed node (concept, decision, etc.) to the graph.
• search_nodes: Performs hybrid lexical and vector search across the design record.
• assemble_report: Generates a technical LaTeX report collapsing the graph into a review-grade document.
• snapshot: Creates a git commit of the current graph state for versioning.
• overview: Provides a high-level map of the project structure and unresolved decisions.
