How do I add new quotes with context to the database?

You can add new quotes with context using the add workflow, which captures themes, context, and source metadata for each entry. This maintains an organized collection categorized by author and theme within the markdown database for future content creation and research.

What is the TELOS framework for organizing aphorisms?

TELOS themes provide a categorization framework to align curated aphorisms with specific content goals. The database uses these themes to match your newsletter topics with relevant quotes, enabling purposeful and structured retrieval through workflow-driven recommendations.

Do I need any external dependencies to run this quote curation tool?

No external dependencies are required. The tool relies on a local markdown database located at ~/.opencode/skills/aphorisms/Database/aphorisms.md and optionally supports thinker references, operating independently to manage and recommend quotes for your newsletter workflows.

What is the best way to research quotes and avoid repetition in newsletters?

The research workflow searches the curated database by author and theme to retrieve previously used aphorisms along with their context. This helps you identify gaps and select fresh quotes for current newsletter topics, avoiding repetition across your content.

Can I use this database for thought leadership content beyond newsletters?

Yes, the curated database supports thought leadership content beyond newsletters. You can search and retrieve aphorisms categorized by author and theme for general content creation, research, and any workflow requiring impactful, thematically aligned quotes to reinforce key messages.
