What is siyuan?

siyuan supports developer collaboration, task organization, or engineering workflow management.
Best fit: Developers organizing code tasks, agent collaboration, or engineering state into a reviewable workflow.
Not for: Not for browser automation or workflows without clear project-state boundaries.
Capability added to an AI workflow: Task-state checks, agent collaboration boundaries, permission paths, delivery acceptance, and rollback guidance
First safe verification step: Verify state transitions and rollback with one non-production task first.
Verification state: source, Quick Start, and sandbox install checks are recorded as passed.
Top risk: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
Evidence base: https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan, https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan#readme, Human Manual, Pitfall Log

Preflight checks

Treat this page as a planning asset, not proof that your local environment is ready.

The manual is generated from source-linked project files and Doramagic validation signals.
Community evidence warnings stay visible instead of being converted into marketing claims.
This English page is indexable because the locale quality gate passed and explicit English index approval is enabled.
Use the upstream repository as the final authority for installation commands, license, and version-specific behavior.
