Overview
[!WARNING]
Upgrading from v3? Version 4 introduced breaking changes to the config and data layout. Your data is safe, but you'll need to migrate. See Migrating from v3 for details.
Seven plugins share a single config and data layer at ~/.things/, powered by things. Log an experience once, then use that experience for knowledge reinforcement through what-do-you-know, interview prep and resume building through what-did-you-do, or persuasive positioning through heres-the-thing. Feed urls or reference material to mark-my-words and it creates a voice profile for you to use in blog posts. Feed those same urls or reference material to think-like and it creates expert-driven planning, reviews, and audits without re-telling the story. All git-tracked so you can take your things with you and never miss a beat.
screenshotr and session-scout are standalone utilities with no .things/ dependency.
Set up the foundation first with:
/things:setup-thing
Then configure each plugin's specialties with its own setup skill (e.g. /setup-idat, /setup-wdyd, /setup-htt, etc.).

things
The schema-aware data layer that powers the plugin ecosystem. Creates and manages ~/.things/ — config, registry, central tag index, and cross-machine sync. Domain-ignorant: it knows about collections, indexes, tags, and file structures — not what logs or resumes are. Run this setup first; every other .things/ plugin depends on it.
