# bonsAI Knowledge Base

Offline strategy and troubleshooting corpus for [bonsAI](https://github.com/qd313/bonsAI), a
self-hosted AI assistant plugin for Steam Deck (Decky Loader). This dataset is downloaded at
runtime by the plugin — it is not bundled with the plugin itself, and the plugin (Apache-2.0)
ships no corpus content.

## What's in it

- **117 strategy cards** across 13 titles (Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Deep Rock Galactic:
  Survivor, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas — The Definitive Edition, Half-Life 2,
  Hades, Left 4 Dead 2, Ocarina of Time, Portal 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, State of Emergency,
  The Sims 4)
- **124 troubleshooting tips** (Deck / Proton / SteamOS compatibility), all maintainer-authored
- SQLite FTS5 + hybrid vector search (`nomic-embed-text`), ~1 MB uncompressed

## License

This dataset is distributed as one work under **CC BY-SA 4.0**. Cards adapted from third-party
wikis (CC BY 4.0 and CC BY-SA 3.0/4.0 sources) each carry their original per-card license in the
database's `source_license` column — that per-card license is what actually governs reuse of an
individual card. See **`ATTRIBUTIONS.md`** in this repo for the full per-source breakdown,
license deed links, and capture dates. GFDL and NonCommercial-licensed sources are excluded
outright — those license families don't mix with CC BY-SA redistribution.

## Files

- `corpus.db.zlib` — the compressed corpus (SQLite database)
- `corpus-manifest.json` — version, checksums, and download URLs the plugin verifies against
- `ATTRIBUTIONS.md` — full redistribution and per-source credit

## Updates

Point releases: a new version bumps `corpus-manifest.json`'s `version` field; the plugin
detects and offers the update. See [bonsAI Issues](https://github.com/qd313/bonsAI/issues) for
corpus feedback or corrections.
