IWE — Intellectual Work Environment

Operating system for intellectual work. Your knowledge. Your experience. Your environment — runs on top of any AI platform.

Repository type: Base/Formats (FMT) — template distribution. After forking, it becomes your personal environment with AI agents.

Problem

AI assistants can generate text, code, and answers. But most users face the same problems:

Context gets lost. Every new session with AI starts from scratch. Yesterday’s decisions, plans, and agreements are forgotten.
Knowledge stays in your head. You took a course, read a book, solved a problem — but a month later you can’t reproduce the line of thinking.
AI replaces thinking instead of amplifying it. You get an answer, but you don’t become more competent. Without AI — back to zero.
No system. Plans are in notes, tasks are in your head, knowledge is in chats. Everything is scattered.
Time leaks away. It’s unclear what you worked on, what you accomplished, where you’re heading.

Solution: IDE, but for thinking

IWE (Intellectual Work Environment) — an intellectual work environment.

Just as an IDE combines an editor,…
