    Make useful work repeatable

A foundation you can inspect

Understand each part.
Add it deliberately.

A small Markdown foundation brings knowledge, instructions and repeatable work together. Explore a clear structure, then shape it around your own notes and ways of working.

01

Context

Keep short- and long-term knowledge in Markdown, organised by Domain. Optional character and voice guides are part of that context: lightweight roles using the same knowledge, without separate bots or a character for every Domain.

Domains, routing + optional character/voice guides included

02

Connections

Connections are pipelines: environment configuration and Python scripts that import material. Start with one deliberate local import. Add live services only after their access and behaviour are understood.

Local Markdown importer included; live connectors excluded

03

Skills

Save a short learning note, close actions only when evidence supports it, reformat Markdown, orient from sources and leave a useful handoff. Read, edit or extend the skill files yourself.

Editable skills + choose/use/edit/create guidance

One small working loop

Pick up a project.
Leave a useful handoff.

Ask your assistant to read the project source, show the evidence and suggest one next step. When you finish, request a handoff that records what changed and what is still open.

Project decisions stay in your vault. Build instructions and engineering history stay in their repositories, linked from the project.

Fictional example / project.md

Context
A one-page guide for a community reading group.
Decision
A single Markdown page is proposed. Approval pending.
Next step
Agree the outline scope before drafting.

Know what you are getting.

  • An editable Markdown structure, local setup, record formats and support guidance.
  • Editable skills, fictional walkthroughs and local Markdown import guidance.
  • No private notes, credentials, plugins, dashboard or scheduled background work.

Will it fit your setup?

For people willing to shape a small file-based system and work with an assistant that can read local files. Use Obsidian or a Markdown editor. Python 3.10+ is optional for local imports. AI subscriptions are separate.

Your assistant needs explicit access to the selected files and must read the instructions. File-based context does not promise identical behaviour across assistants.

Your notes. Your way of working.
