midden.

Local evidence. Your agentic CLI.

Recover the work
worth keeping.

Your coding sessions hold more than chat history. Midden helps you find the decisions, explanations, and hard-won fixes—and turn reviewed evidence into useful work.

From history to something reusable

Keep the evidence.
Recover the meaning.

01 / DISCOVER

Find the useful parts

Index sessions from Copilot CLI, Claude Code, and OpenCode. Start with one closed session or a narrow project scope. Deterministic assay helps identify reusable evidence without a model call.

02 / REVIEW

Choose what supports the story

Extract bounded evidence, inspect the sources, and remove private or unsupported material. Recovery reads source stores; explicit cleanup is a separate operation.

03 / CREATE

Make work you can trace

Ask your host to compose a post, presentation, or project guide through Midden. Review the draft and provenance, then render or export locally.

Recommended / Agentic CLI

Bring the agent you already use.

Install and authenticate Copilot CLI, Claude Code, or OpenCode first. Midden adds recovery skills and a prebuilt engine. No Go toolchain needed.

Paste one command to open the terminal wizard. Choose Quick start or Custom setup, use Up/Down and Enter to select your CLI and optional capabilities, then confirm the install plan. Downloads are verified against the v0.2.3 release checksums.

Windows / PowerShell

irm https://xibodev.github.io/midden/install.ps1 | iex

Works with built-in Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7. No extra shell installation. Inspect the bootstrap.

Linux & macOS

curl -fsSL https://xibodev.github.io/midden/install.sh | sh

Run in an interactive terminal. Setup uses Bash 3.2+, curl, tar, and a SHA-256 utility. Inspect the bootstrap.

Quick start uses personal skills and PATH setup. Custom setup lets you choose project scope and folders. Plain-text mode is available with MIDDEN_PLAIN=1. Upgrades and uninstall preserve recovered work and refuse modified or unowned files. Options and manual download instructions.

Pandoc
Optional editable PowerPoint & HTML.

D2
Optional SVG diagrams. Verified local download on Linux; no sudo.

Keep control

Local by design.
Review before sharing.

Your CLI owns authentication, models, and permissions. Midden owns recovery operations and provenance. Model calls can incur provider charges; scanning and assay do not need a model.

Redaction reduces risk, but does not prove all private content is absent. Check the evidence and generated claims before publishing.

Release CI tests installer mechanics on native Windows, Linux, and macOS and checks packaged binaries. Live acceptance in all supported agent hosts remains in progress.
