Getting Started

How To Use The Suite

Choose the app that matches the job, then use the built-in MCP copy-command buttons when you want an AI agent to help with note extraction, review-first Kotoba sync, or troubleshooting.

Which app should I open?

Start with the surface that owns the work you want to do.

translate

Kotoba

Study Japanese vocabulary and grammar with SRS, quizzes, and refinement tools.

  • Use it when you want to learn, review, or improve Japanese content.
  • Open word and grammar details that Plachta links into your notes.
Open Kotoba
schedule

Chrono

Plan calendars, tasks, topics, and epics with both list and timeline views.

  • Use it when you need deadlines, schedules, or linked project structure.
  • Link notes back to planned work from inside Plachta.
Open Chrono
edit_note

Plachta

Capture notes, source files, and reading material, then turn them into structured knowledge.

  • Use it when you want to write, attach PDFs, or queue Kotoba review candidates.
  • Look for the agent-command buttons on PDFs, pending sync cards, and the note toolbar.
Open Plachta
prompt_suggestion

Prompt Studio

Adjust managed Kotoba prompts when you need to refine AI behavior across the suite.

  • Admin-only surface for editing prompt templates.
  • Use it when prompt quality or AI output needs tuning.
Open Prompt Studio
bug_report

Bug Reports

Review reports from all apps, including screenshots, reproduction notes, and server logs.

  • Use it when you need to triage issues or verify that a fix is ready for user confirmation.
  • Pair it with the logs MCP when you need deeper diagnostics.
Open Bug Reports
monitoring

Grafana

Inspect dashboards and service health when you need observability beyond a single report.

  • Use it when you want dashboards, trends, and raw logs in one place.
  • Good companion for bug triage and production checks.
Open Grafana

How the apps fit together

The suite is most useful when you move material between the tools instead of treating them as silos.

Plachta → Kotoba

Queue word or grammar candidates in a note, review them, and turn approved items into Kotoba content without losing note context.

Plachta → Chrono

Link notes to tasks, topics, and epics so your source material stays attached to the work it supports.

Shared sign-in

One auth session covers the whole suite, so app links and MCP-assisted workflows reuse the same account context.

MCP-assisted workflows

MCPs let an AI agent work with your authenticated suite data while you stay in review-first control.

smart_toy

plachta-mcp

Used for PDF extraction and review-first note-to-Kotoba sync.

  • In Plachta, copy a ready-to-paste command from PDF attachments, pending sync cards, or the note toolbar.
  • Add your own instructions before copying so the agent knows how strict, detailed, or selective to be.
  • The sync flow is review-first: plan first, then apply only after you approve.
receipt_long

loki-logs

Used when debugging reports or production issues that need server-side evidence.

  • Best paired with Bug Reports and Grafana when you need request traces or backend log context.
  • Use it after you have a concrete report, error, or reproduction path.

Using the copy-command buttons

The same pattern will show up in MCP-backed features across the suite.

  1. Open the feature that owns the data you want to work with.
  2. Click the smart_toy command button.
  3. Add optional instructions so the agent knows your priorities.
  4. Copy the generated command and paste it into your agent chat.
  5. Review the proposed result before asking the agent to apply anything destructive or persistent.
