Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Enzyme is a Rust-based CLI that indexes Markdown note vaults (Obsidian, meeting notes, agent memory) and exposes a hybrid semantic/lexical search interface with an LLM-generated 'catalyst' layer that surfaces thematic questions across tags, folders, and links. It targets coding agents like Claude Code and Codex via a small DSL and an installer that writes agent skills, aiming to give agents long-term memory over personal wikis. The idea of compiling a wiki into agent-queryable structure with catalysts is a distinctive take, though the underlying retrieval (vector + BM25) is standard.

Target audience: developers and knowledge workers using coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) who maintain Markdown note vaults; also PKM/Obsidian power users
