Documentation
These docs come in two halves. The user half is for anyone whose agent talks to aizk. It explains what memory is, how sharing works, and how to write and ask so the answers stay useful. You need no database knowledge to read it. The developer half is for anyone changing aizk or running a deployment, and it goes all the way down to table columns, job schedules and GPU budgets.
Read any page on its own in ten minutes or less. When a page needs an idea it does not own, it links the one page that does instead of explaining it twice.
