SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Maintaining a structured life context system (goals, beliefs, books, lessons) and turning scattered project notes and interview transcripts into executive-ready analysis is manual and inconsistent. Telos centralizes personal life tracking and automates organizational analysis, narrative generation, and report production. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Personal TELOS Management: Update life context files (GOALS.md, BELIEFS.md, BOOKS.md, WISDOM.md, etc.) with automatic timestamped backups and a changelog via the Update workflow. - Interview Extraction: Parse interview notes into 13 categorized output files (findings, blockers, gaps, recommendations, metrics) with source attribution. - Narrative & Report Generation: Create story-driven consulting narratives (CreateNarrativePoints) and McKinsey-style web reports (WriteReport) with a dark-themed Next.js template. - Project Dashboards: Analyze any project directory's Markdown/CSV files and build interactive Next.js dashboards with dependency graphs and metrics. - Use Case: After conducting 12 stakeholder interviews, ask Telos to extract the content, generate a narrative, and produce a board-ready report with role-anonymized sources. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze a project directory with TELOS, for example by saying: analyze ~/Projects/MyApp with TELOS and build a dashboard.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update my TELOS goals or beliefs files?

Use the Update workflow by saying something like "add a goal to TELOS" or "update my beliefs". The workflow runs the UpdateTelos script, which creates a timestamped backup, appends your content, and logs the change in updates.md.

How do I extract insights from interview transcripts?

Run the InterviewExtraction workflow by saying "extract interviews" with a target directory. It scans all Markdown and text files, classifies content into 13 categories like blockers, gaps, and recommendations, and writes one output file per category with source attribution.

What file formats does TELOS project analysis support?

Project TELOS scans directories for Markdown (.md) and CSV (.csv) files regardless of folder structure. It extracts entities, relationships, and dependencies from these files to produce reports, dashboards, or JSON exports.

Can TELOS generate a McKinsey-style consulting report?

Yes, the WriteReport workflow generates a dark-themed Next.js web report using the bundled ReportTemplate. It consumes JSON artifacts from prior analysis, maps them to McKinsey report sections, and supports print-friendly light mode output.

Where are personal TELOS files stored and are they backed up?

Personal TELOS files live in the user's TELOS directory (e.g., ~/.claude/Aurora/USER/TELOS/). Every update through the Update workflow creates a timestamped backup in the backups folder and logs the change in updates.md.

Does the TELOS dashboard require an API key?

The DashboardTemplate's AI chat page uses the Anthropic API and requires an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set in a .env file. The dashboard pages themselves (projects, teams, vulnerabilities) render local data without an API key.
