SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pinboard helps you quickly externalize thoughts and tasks so you do not lose reminders, papers-to-read, ideas, or data issues during an active research workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

Auto-categorized capture: Converts your quick note into one of four sections—To-Do, Papers, Ideas, or Data Issues—based on the note content.
Non-blocking workflow: Saves the note silently with a timestamp to PINBOARD.md and acknowledges briefly without requesting confirmation.
Review and hygiene: Shows your pinboard grouped by category, flags potentially stale items (older than 7 days), supports marking items done, and can clear items (with confirmation for destructive actions).

Quick Start

Add a note by saying something like "pin: remind me to check the orphan wells sample merge issue" and it will be saved to your project root as PINBOARD.md.

FAQPage Schema

How do I capture quick research notes and reminders without interrupting my academic workflow?▼

You can capture research notes by appending items to a persistent PINBOARD.md file with automatic timestamps. This non-blocking approach saves reminders silently and acknowledges briefly without requesting confirmation, ensuring frictionless logging during active research sessions.

Can I automatically categorize project notes into to-dos, papers, and data issues?▼

Yes, project notes are auto-categorized into four sections: To-Do, Papers, Ideas, or Data Issues. The system analyzes note content to classify entries automatically, enabling organized tracking of papers to read, hypotheses, and data quality issues.

What is the best way to track stale tasks and data issues during a research project?▼

The best way to track stale tasks is to review the pinboard grouped by category, which automatically flags items older than 7 days as potentially stale. This hygiene feature supports marking items done and clearing outdated project notes.

How do I safely clear completed items from my project pinboard?▼

You can safely clear completed items from the pinboard using confirmation-gated destructive actions. This mechanism requires explicit confirmation before removing any entries, preventing accidental data loss during research workflow maintenance.

Does the pinboard note system require any external dependencies or components to function?▼

No, the pinboard note system requires zero external dependencies or components to function. It operates independently by reading and appending to PINBOARD.md directly in your project root, ensuring frictionless task capture without environment setup.
