Either way it installs Ollama if missing, pulls two small models (about 4 GB), fetches the index of rules and lore (270 MB), and opens the kobold in your browser at localhost:8765.

What it is

• The Archives, not a memory. Every answer is read from the Archives of Nethys and PathfinderWiki entries shown underneath it. Nothing you type leaves the machine.
• Rules and lore, kept apart. A rules question never gets a wiki answer. The kobold reads the question, picks the shelf, and sticks to the rules when unsure.
• Wrong is a first-class state. Lookups are reliable; "does X interact with Y?" is not, but the right pages are usually on screen. Every answer has a "Wrong? Tell the kobold" link.
