## Why Zabibu Arif

> Zabibu Arif is a Work Operating System: a chat-driven control layer, an Internal File System, an EPIV execution engine (Explore → Plan → Implement → Verify), and a multi-provider AI gateway, unified into one human-centered workspace.

## Architecture

- **Fikra Engine** — three reasoning modes (Structured Logic, Tool Use, LLM-Augmented).
- **Fikra Execution Engine (FEE)** — decomposes goals into steps, runs tools, writes real files.
- **Internal File System (IFS)** — Projects → Folders → Chats with persistent Docs/Code/Data/Assets/Logs/Flows.
- **Tool Registry** — Code, Writing, Planner, Data, Finance, Idea Studio, Automation — each tool writes outputs into the IFS.
- **AI Provider Fallback** — Groq → Gemini → G4F priority queue with health tracking and timeouts.
- **Privacy-first** — API keys stay in local/sessionStorage; incognito mode disables memory and identity tracking.

## Features

- Project → Folder → Chat hierarchy with continuous autosave (Work Protection).
- 8 adaptive workspace modes that morph based on detected intent.
- Knowledge Pocket — private storage with localStorage + optional Supabase sync.
- Global search (Cmd/Ctrl+K) across all chats, projects, and files.
- Routines & automation — recurring structured sessions with proactive notifications.
- Real-time web search grounding for time-sensitive questions.
- Full data portability — import/export chats and configurations.
- Accessibility suite — high contrast, dyslexia fonts, color blindness filters.
- Installable PWA with offline awareness.
