Digital Garden Cultivator
Design, manage, and evolve digital gardens as living knowledge bases. Digital gardens are interconnected note collections that grow organically, emphasizing evolution over perfection.
What It Is
A digital garden approach to knowledge management that:
- Builds dynamic knowledge bases that evolve over time
- Connects notes through bidirectional links
- Incubates ideas before formalizing as documentation
- Creates discovery paths for information navigation
- Tracks content maturity and maintenance needs
Quick Start
Calculate Garden Metrics
python scripts/garden_metrics.py path/to/garden.json --format brief
Verification: Run python --version to verify Python environment.
Output Formats
json - Full metrics as JSONbrief - One-line summaryprometheus - Prometheus exposition format
When To Use
- Building dynamic knowledge bases that evolve over time
- Connecting notes, skills, and palaces through bidirectional links
- Incubating ideas before formalizing as documentation
- Creating discovery paths for navigating information
- Managing content lifecycle (seedling → growing → evergreen)
When NOT To Use

structures - use memory-palace-architect
- Evaluating new knowledge
