There's a better way
The Old Way
- Your notes live in a database you cannot open
- Export is a button you hope still works when you need it
- Editing in your own tools means a second, diverging copy
- Cancelling the subscription means losing the archive
The BlackOps Way
- Plain markdown in a repository you already control
- Two-way sync, so your editor and BlackOps see the same note
- Folder layout decided by ordered routing rules
- The files keep working whether or not BlackOps does
Why Knowledge Sync?
Ownership that survives the subscription
Plain markdown you own
Notes land in a repository you control as ordinary files. No proprietary format, no export step, nothing that stops being readable if you stop paying.
It reads changes back
Edit a note in Obsidian or your editor and the change comes back. The repo is not a backup, it is the other half of the same system.
Folder routing you configure
Ordered rules map tags and note types to destination folders, so where a file lands is a rule rather than a habit.
Optional, not required
Brains work without a repository: source notes live in BlackOps and compile on their own. Connecting GitHub is an upgrade for people who want the files.
How It Works
Connect a repository
Point BlackOps at a repo you own. An Obsidian vault works well, because the result is just a folder of markdown.
Notes sync out as files
Every note commits to the folder your routing rules choose. Your taxonomy decides the layout, not the tool.
Edit anywhere, compile everywhere
A vault-backed brain reads its source notes from that folder, so editing in your own tools still feeds what your AI knows.
