SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of fragmented, short-lived notes by turning them into a durable, storage-agnostic knowledge base that compounds over time instead of resetting each session.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Durable knowledge compilation: converts raw inputs (notes, chats, docs, research, code repos, PDFs, images, and links) into maintained canonical wiki pages with provenance.
  • AFS-aligned structure (storage-agnostic): enforces discoverable brain boundaries via BRAIN.md and uses an AFS-style layer model (raw intake → compiled knowledge → operational artifacts) without requiring any specific tool like Obsidian.
  • Incremental compound learning loop: supports a six-phase workflow (brainstorm → plan → confidence → review → work → compound) to synthesize learnings, surface contradictions, and update the wiki continuously.

Quick Start

Use this skill to ingest a folder of saved notes and documents, compile them into canonical knowledge pages, and update the knowledge base index for future retrieval.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compile scattered notes into a living wiki for research synthesis?

You can compile scattered notes by ingesting raw inputs like chats, docs, and PDFs to generate canonical wiki pages with provenance tracking. This converts fragmented information into a durable knowledge base that compounds over time through incremental synthesis and contradiction surfacing.

What is provenance tracking and contradiction detection in a knowledge base?

Provenance tracking and contradiction detection in a knowledge base identify the origins of ingested information and surface conflicting details across sources. This ensures compiled wiki pages maintain evidence-backed integrity while highlighting open threads for further research synthesis.

Can I build a storage-agnostic knowledge base without using Obsidian?

Yes, you can build a storage-agnostic knowledge base without tools like Obsidian by using an AFS-aligned structure anchored by BRAIN.md. This approach organizes raw intake into compiled knowledge and operational artifacts independently of specific note-taking platforms.

How do I maintain session-to-session continuity in a personal learning system?

Maintain session-to-session continuity by applying an incremental compound learning loop across six phases: brainstorm, plan, confidence, review, work, and compound. This workflow continuously synthesizes new learnings and updates your durable wiki across multiple sessions.

What is the best way to ingest multi-source research documents into a wiki?

The best way to ingest multi-source research documents is using a structured workflow that compiles raw inputs like PDFs, images, and links into canonical pages with evidence. It supports multi-source ingestion workflows to transform diverse formats into a unified knowledge base.
