SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The daily ritual of capturing life events as free text and turning them into a structured memory with wiki-links that enable rich querying and narrative stitching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • YAML frontmatter is enforced on every file to preserve metadata across the vault.
  • Path-based wiki-links and auto-generated "Linked from" sections build a semantic graph across journal and memory files.
  • Daily logs, retrospective index pages (monthly/yearly), and health/life milestones are captured and cross-referenced for long-term recall.
  • Me.md triggers and health log integration allow milestone tracking without manual bookkeeping.

Quick Start

Log a daily entry by typing /journal with free-text; the system will record it in the journal and propagate cross-file updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a daily journal entry that links to other markdown files?

To create a daily journal entry, you type free-text input which the system records and automatically weaves into a memory graph using path-based wiki-links. It enforces YAML frontmatter on every markdown file to preserve metadata and auto-generates a "Linked from" section for cross-referencing.

What is the best way to build a knowledge graph from daily logs?

Building a knowledge graph from daily logs is best achieved by automatically generating path-based wiki-links and "Linked from" sections across your vault. This approach cross-references work and life entries, enforcing YAML frontmatter to maintain a semantic graph for rich querying and narrative stitching.

Does this journaling approach require YAML frontmatter on every file?

Yes, this journaling approach strictly enforces YAML frontmatter on every file to preserve metadata across the entire vault. This metadata standard is required to support cross-linking entities, generating Log lines, and indexing across journal and memory folders for recall.

Can I preview changes before writing cross-linked memory files?

Yes, you can preview changes before writing cross-linked memory files using the provided preview-diff workflow. This ensures you can review automatically generated wiki-links, updated Log lines, and the auto-generated "Linked from" sections before the system commits the updates to your folders.
