Fragment is an AI-native notebook designed for people who think in structures — researchers, engineers, educators, writers.

It combines: • Markdown notes • YAML-based “Prism Protocol” for tone/persona/boundaries • AI-rendered Scene/Flow diagrams • Config blocks that define scope, audience, and language

The goal is to make AI collaboration consistent, reusable, and calm — not prompt-chasing.

Happy to hear feedback or questions.

i built a fun little python package called ardage (ARxiv DAtaset GEnerator) that lets you generate markdown datasets of research papers using natural language queries, blazing fast. it's perfect for generating post-training datasets for llms, rag knowledge bases, and more.

you can install it with 'pip install ardage', and use it in interactive mode in the cli, use it directly in the cli with flags, or import the library into your own code and build with it!
