SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns a large, messy source into structured second-brain files without losing the owner's original wording, so a fresh agent can safely seed or expand a knowledge base.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Triage first: separates a source into keep and skip bins before any bulk processing.
  • Calibrate the model: reviews small batches, captures owner corrections, and writes those corrections back into the rule files.
  • Bulk mine with guardrails: processes the remainder autonomously, preserves exact language, deduplicates near repeats, and validates outputs.
  • Use cases: notes-app exports, chat histories, voice-note archives, bookmarks, podcast clips, and other large personal collections.

Quick Start

Ask the mine skill to triage your archive, calibrate on a small sample, and then process the rest into clean template files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a large notes-app export into a structured second brain without losing my original wording?

You can transform a large notes-app export into a structured second brain by applying triage to separate keep and skip bins, calibrating rules on small batches, and bulk processing the remainder while preserving your verbatim language and deduplicating near repeats.

What is the best way to clean up messy chat histories and voice-note archives for a knowledge base?

The best way to clean up chat histories and voice-note archives is to triage the raw dumps into keep/skip bins, calibrate extraction rules on samples, and autonomously process the bulk while validating outputs and removing duplicates.

How does calibration work when mining a large personal archive into template files?

Calibration works by processing small batches of your archive, capturing your manual corrections, and writing those owner-approved corrections directly back into the rule files to guide the autonomous bulk processing of the remaining data.

Can I use this approach to seed a fresh knowledge base from bookmarks and podcast clips?

Yes, you can seed a fresh knowledge base from bookmarks and podcast clips by applying triage to the source material, calibrating extraction rules on small samples, and autonomously mining the rest into clean template files with deduplication.

Why should I triage my source data into keep and skip bins before bulk processing?

You should triage your source data into keep and skip bins before bulk processing to prevent irrelevant or messy entries from contaminating your second brain, ensuring the autonomous mining phase only processes valuable, structured information.
