Meet The Logic-Loom

It gathers the scrolls from the shelves in the hall, it thinks up the links that connect them all!

It takes a messy math-scribble and turns it to speed, then watches the agents to ensure they succeed.

Public home for downloadable Logic-Loom builds, release notes, install instructions, checksum manifests, and known issues.

Logic-Loom is a three-mode desktop shell for research workflows:

• zsum — a desktop front-end for the zotero-summarizer pipeline: run summarization stages, browse the published vault, inspect runs.
• akms (gated) — optional AKMS knowledge-graph tooling: batch node generation, a read-only graph explorer, a Learn tab, and a bundled curated library of established nodes.
• assistant — paper discovery across OpenAlex + Semantic Scholar, source batches, workflow runs, and a workspace-wide ⌘K / Ctrl-K search.

Current release line: v0.1.0-alpha.7.

Upgrading from alpha.5 or alpha.6? Those builds crashed the moment you ran any Zotero pipeline stage (unrecognized arguments: -m logic_loom_api._zsum_launcher …). alpha.7 fixes it, and repairs the stale setting the old builds could save — no manual config edit needed.

Release binaries live in GitHub Releases, not in this repo's tree and not in the private source repository. Each tagged release attaches macOS/Linux/Windows installers plus a SHA256SUMS.txt manifest.

What lives in this repo

• docs/ — public product docs, install guidance, AKMS/zsum context, and the release workflow
• release-notes/ — archived release notes through alpha.5
• checksums/ — checksum manifests and verification guidance

Note: the staging/, checksums/, and release-notes/ folders hold artifacts from the older manual release model (through alpha.5). As of the alpha.6 line, binaries are built by CI and attached directly to each GitHub Release, and the release body is published from the source repo — see docs/github-releases.md.

Start here

• Logic-Loom overview
• Install instructions
• zotero-summarizer guide
• AKMS integration guide
• Known issues
• GitHub Releases workflow

What the app bundles

• Tauri desktop shell and React frontend
• Bundled logic-loom-api Python sidecar
• Bundled zotero-summarizer package and its Python runtime dependencies
• The vendored akms / akms-nodes-gen / akms-learn engines, so AKMS-gated tabs ship in the packaged app
• A curated, read-only library of established knowledge nodes (Tier A) plus ready-to-run starter batches (Tier B)

What you still need

• Zotero
• Better BibTeX JSON export
• Access to your local PDFs
• An LLM backend or CLI — Ollama, LM Studio, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, Claude CLI, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, or NotebookLM
• An AKMS source vault only if you want the graph/Learn features

Current release status

• Early alpha / pre-release quality
• Platform assets may vary by release — check the assets on the specific GitHub Release
• macOS Gatekeeper and Windows SmartScreen warnings are expected until signing/notarization is added
• Some onboarding flows still expose expert-oriented configuration fields inherited from the underlying research tooling
