lilmd is a CLI tool that treats Markdown files as structured databases, enabling agents to read, search, and modify large documents using CSS-like selectors. It offers fast navigation, writing operations, and both human and agent-friendly output, addressing the challenge of managing growing agent knowledge in a simple, single-file format.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
