maenifold

Context engineering infrastructure for AI agents.

A local reasoning substrate that other systems build on. It manages a knowledge graph, produces specialized roles and workflows, and sharpens itself through use. Domain-specific plugins layer on top.

Knowledge graph visualization — 1,623 concepts connected by 58,851 links, colored by connection strength

What ships

Four plugins. Each layers on the substrate for a different domain.

Base

plugin-maenifold

The substrate. Knowledge graph, 25+ MCP tools, 39 workflows, 16 roles, 7 thinking colors. Graph-of-thought priming at session start. [[WikiLink]] context injection on every task. Memory lifecycle — decay, consolidation, community detection.

25+ tools/39 workflows/16 roles
Dogfooding

plugin-product-team

Used to build maenifold itself. Product manager orchestrator, 4 specialized agents (SWE, researcher, red-team, blue-team), TDD pipeline with red-team/blue-team validation. Sprint planning, requirements traceability, parallel task execution.

4 agents + PM skill/TDD pipeline
Microsoft FinOps Toolkit

plugin-finops-toolkit

The official Claude Code plugin for Microsoft’s FinOps Toolkit. 4 agents (CFO, FinOps practitioner, database query, hubs), 4 commands, 2 skills, an output style, and 17 KQL queries. Layers on maenifold — the agents inherit the knowledge graph, the reasoning workflows, the memory lifecycle.

4 agents + 2 skills + 17 queries
Azure ISV capacity

plugin-capacity-management

Purpose-built for SaaS ISVs operating in Azure. Quota operations, capacity reservations, zone management, estate-level governance. Companion material to training offered by Microsoft’s Customer Success Unit. Documentation site, training decks, lab modules, and scripts.

Agent + skill + docs site

Seed. Create. Run. Compound.

Infrastructure that extends itself. Agents create workflows. Workflows produce knowledge. Knowledge sharpens the graph. The graph makes better agents.

Seed the graph
Run think-tank on any domain's literature. Parallel agents research in waves — scoping, deep dives, synthesis, peer review. They write memories with [[WikiLinks]]. Structure emerges from use — no schema, no ontology, no upfront design.
Create specialists
role-creation-workflow produces perspectives — cognitive modes grounded in your actual knowledge, not generic personas.agent-creation-workflow produces full agent definitions — autonomous subprocesses with tools, triggers, and constitutional prompts. 16 built-in roles. Write more. They persist.
Run workflows
39 built-in workflows, from deductive reasoning to multi-agent sprints. Schedule via cron. They produce structured output — reports, analyses, roadmaps — while you sleep. Assets are writable from agents, so new workflows are agent-generated skills.
Watch it compound
Decay removes noise. Consolidation strengthens signal. Community detection discovers reasoning domains. Every run makes the next one smarter. The graph isn't storage — it's the reasoning substrate that shapes what context is retrieved and how it can be extended.

Architecture

Six layers of composable primitives. Complexity emerges from composition.

15+ RAG techniques supported natively or via composition — Knowledge Graph RAG, HyDE, FLARE, RAG-Fusion, Self-RAG, multi-hop traversal. These are infrastructure primitives: small, composable, unix-pipeable. Complexity emerges from scripting them together. The full technique matrix is in the docs.

Install

Install the binary, add the marketplace, install the plugin. The infrastructure activates — graph-of-thought priming, [[WikiLink]] context injection, 25+ tools, 39 workflows, 16 roles.

# Install the binary
