🗡️ DAGGER v0.3 - Knowledge Cartography Tool

⚠️ You're viewing this file directly. DAGGER requires development servers to function properly.

What is DAGGER?

DAGGER transforms linear chat into navigable knowledge topology through sophisticated conversation branching with drag-to-merge capabilities. It solves the fundamental constraint of conversational AI: context bandwidth limitations.

🚀 How to Actually Run DAGGER

Step 1: Open your terminal/command prompt

Step 2: Navigate to the DAGGER directory and install dependencies:

cd /path/to/dagger
npm install
cp .env.example .env
# Add your Claude API key to .env

Step 3: Start BOTH servers (in separate terminals):

# Terminal 1: Proxy server
npm run dev:proxy

# Terminal 2: React app
npm run dev

✅ Then open your browser to: http://localhost:5173

Why Two Servers?

Proxy Server (3001): Handles Claude API authentication and CORS
React App (5173): Serves the sophisticated conversation interface
Both Required: Distributed cognition architecture needs coordinated operation

DAGGER is not a simple webpage - it's distributed cognition architecture for knowledge cartography. 🗡️
