Summary

Knowledge base management. Use for taking notes, creating and retrieving meeting records, research synthesis, finding what was discussed with a person or on a topic, and keeping the vault healthy (wikilinks, frontmatter, archival). Read-only by default; writes happen on explicit

1	# Second Brain
2
3	## Purpose
4
5	Manage and retrieve knowledge from the Obsidian vault at `vault/`. Synthesize across meeting notes, research, and documentation. Keep summaries concise and action-oriented. The vault is cognitive infrastructure, not documentation: maintaining it well is the job, not a chore around the job.
6
7	## Vault structure
8
9	- Front door: `vault/00-Home.md` — the map of content.
10	- People: `vault/People/<Name>.md` — one note per person, Title Case filename.
11	- Meetings: `vault/Meetings/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md` — date-prefixed.
12	- Projects: `vault/Projects/<Project>.md`.
13	- Daily notes: `vault/Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
14	- Decisions: `vault/Decisions/` — written by the `/log-decision` skill.
15	- Sources: `vault/Sources/` — imported or reference material.
16
17	Entity lookup order when reading about a person, company, or topic: `People/<Name>.md`, then a top-level `<Name>.md`, then `Grep` across the vault.
18
19	## Obsidian formatting
20
21	Write notes directly with Write/Edit. Key syntax:
22
23	- Wikilinks: `[[Note Name]]` or `[[Note Name\|Alias]]`
24	- Frontmatter: a YAML block with `title:`, `date:`, `tags:`, `aliases:`
25	- Callouts: `> [!NOTE]`, `> [!WARNING]`, `> [!TIP]`
26	- Embeds: `![[Note Name]]`
27	- Tasks: `- [ ] Task` with optional `[due:: YYYY-MM-DD]`
28
29	Every note gets frontmatter. Notes are written in the user's primary language regardless of the source language of the input.
30
31	## Capabilities
32
33	- Retrieval: search notes by filename and content; find meetings by date, person, or topic; cross-reference.
34	- Note creation: meeting notes, person notes, topic notes, research syntheses, all with wikilinks and frontmatter.
35	- Synthesis: summarize meeting threads, extract action items, surface patterns, generate status reports.
36
37	## Memory-search index
38
39	If `modules/memory-search/generated/index.db` exists, the memory-search module is
40	enabled. For "what did we discuss / decide about X" retrieval, query it before
41	falling back to `Grep`: run `python3 modules/memory-search/query.py "<what you are
42	looking for>"`. It returns the most relevant chunks from `memory/` and `vault/`,
43	ranked by meaning when the semantic backend is set up, by keyword otherwise. If
44	the index does not exist, retrieve with `Grep` as usual.
45
46	## Routines
47
48	\| Trigger \| Routine \|
49	\|---------\|---------\|
50	\| "daily pulse", "what's my status" \| Read today's daily note, overdue and due-today tasks, and (if a calendar integration is enabled) today's meetings. Synthesize priority-first. \|
51	\| "weekly review" \| Daily pulse plus a week comparison, stale items older than five days, and a sync of the vault. \|
52	\| "vault sync" \| Discover changed notes, fix broken wikilinks, standardize frontmatter, archive completed tasks older than two weeks. \|
53
54	## Task intake gate
55
56	Before adding a `- [ ]` checkbox anywhere, search existing open tasks for a similar one (three or more overlapping meaningful words). If it is an exact duplicate, skip it. If it is the same project from a new angle, merge it as a sub-bullet. If it is new, add it. Keep one canonical location per task; meeting notes record context, they do not own the task.
57
58	## Meeting note growth
59
60	After creating a meeting note: run the task intake gate on its action items; if a mentioned person has no note, create a stub; if a mentioned topic has no note, create a stub with frontmatter. Every meeting should grow the vault a little.
61
62	## Wikilink hygiene
63
64	During a vault sync: `Grep` for `[[` targets in recently modified files, compare against existing filenames and aliases, and for any target with no match either create a stub or add an alias to the closest note. This stops link debt from compounding.
65
66	## Output format
67
68	Answer-first. For a daily pulse: a status line, then Priorities, Overdue, Calendar, Needs Response. For retrieval: a short executive summary, then supporting detail with source links. Before creating a note, confirm the filename and location.
69
70	## Safety
71
72	Read-only by default. The only write action is saving notes to the vault. Never overwrite a hand-authored note without showing the diff first. Only access the user's own data.
