What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you organize and connect your knowledge, making it easier to find, understand, and build upon your ideas.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Atomic Notes: Create single-idea notes with rich metadata.
  • Knowledge Graph: Link notes together using wiki-style [[links]] to build a connected web of knowledge.
  • Maps of Content (MOCs): Organize notes hierarchically for better navigation.
  • Graph Analysis: Identify orphan notes, suggest connections, and visualize your graph.
  • Use Case: As you learn about a new topic, create atomic notes for key concepts, claims, and questions. Link them together to see how they relate, and use MOCs to structure your learning journey.

Quick Start

Use the cognos-graph skill to create a new atomic note about 'The concept of emergent complexity'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a personal knowledge graph using Markdown files?

To build a personal knowledge graph using Markdown files, you create atomic notes with structured YAML frontmatter and connect them using wiki-style [[links]]. This generates a connected web of knowledge for navigation and analysis.

What is an orphan note in a knowledge graph and how do I detect them?

An orphan note in a knowledge graph is an isolated Markdown file lacking wiki-style [[links]] to other concepts. You detect orphan notes using built-in shell scripts that analyze your linked notes to identify disconnected entries.

Can I use wiki-style links to organize atomic notes into Maps of Content?

Yes, you can use wiki-style links to organize atomic notes into Maps of Content (MOCs). MOCs group linked notes hierarchically, providing structured navigation paths throughout your personal knowledge management system.

How do I structure YAML frontmatter for different note types like concepts and claims?

You structure YAML frontmatter for note types like concepts and claims by defining metadata fields at the top of your Markdown files. Supported types include concept, claim, decision, question, and reference for categorizing atomic notes.

What is the best way to get connection suggestions for my linked notes?

The best way to get connection suggestions for your linked notes is running the provided shell scripts. These scripts analyze your Markdown files and wiki-style links to recommend potential relationships between unconnected concepts in your knowledge graph.

Does this knowledge graph approach require any external databases or dependencies?

No, this knowledge graph approach does not require external databases or dependencies. It operates entirely on local Markdown files and shell scripts, using wiki-style links and YAML frontmatter to manage your personal knowledge management system.
