bipartite

A context layer for research groups: connecting your internal world (projects, repos, coordination) to the external academic world (papers, citations, authors).

• Go CLI for querying literature, GitHub activity, and your group's knowledge graph
• Claude Code skills for synthesis: narrative digests, check-ins, spawning sessions with context
• Git-backed storage — JSONL source of truth, private by default, shareable by design

• How It Works — The nexus, bip CLI, and Claude Code integration explained

Quick Start

1. Install bipartite

2. Create your nexus from the nexus-template (click "Use this template"), then clone it:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/nexus ~/path/to/nexus

1. Point bip to your nexus:

mkdir -p ~/.config/bip
echo 'nexus_path: ~/path/to/nexus' > ~/.config/bip/config.yml

1. Build the index and try it out:

bip rebuild
bip search "phylogenetics"
bip s2 add DOI:10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2
