Short summary
The author built Cognitive Defrag, a browser-based local tool that scans text for chaos markers to help people structure requirements and communications before passing them to AI or engineers. It evaluates text against a 3D matrix of intent, resources, and services, running entirely client-side with zero data sent to external servers. The tool targets freelancers, managers, and engineers who want to assess the clarity of task descriptions and briefs.
