This repository is adapted from a code-based "Memory Bank" into a knowledge-driven "Knowledge Bank." We maintain the same file structure (.clinerules-* and .roomodes) but reorient all processes toward capturing, organizing, analyzing, and retrieving knowledge.
- Atomic Notes: Each note captures a single idea or concept. References and links connect notes into a broader map of knowledge.
- PARA Method: Organize content into:
- Projects: Short-term efforts requiring multiple notes or tasks
- Areas: Ongoing responsibilities or domains
- Resources: Topics of interest or references
- Archives: Inactive or past content
- Linking & Cross-Referencing: Use consistent naming or tags to tie notes together. For instance, if a note references another, create a direct link or mention of that note.
- Scalability: This system supports thousands of notes. To keep it agile:
- Keep each note atomic
- Use robust linking
- Rely on curated categories (PARA or similar)
- Modes:
- Architect: Oversee structural organization, create or refine top-level categories
- Ask: Retrieve quick answers, locate references
- Notes (formerly “Code”): Create or edit note content
- Analysis (formerly “Debug”): Correlate multiple notes to derive deeper insights
- Additional modes in
.roomodes
(Collector, Organizer, Archivist) for specialized tasks.
- Initialize: In Architect mode, set up the knowledge-bank/ directory if missing. Create top-level PARA folders or other categories.
- Collect: In Collector mode, ingest new material (web highlights, meeting notes, etc.) as raw notes with minimal classification.
- Organize: In Organizer mode, refine note tags, link them, place them in correct categories.
- Ask: Query the knowledge system for specific facts, references, or short answers.
- Notes: Rewrite or refine the text of existing notes, add or remove content, merge notes, etc.
- Analysis: Dive deep into cross-topic insights or complicated research. Summarize or propose structural changes.
-
Add a New Resource:
- Switch to “Collector” mode.
- Paste your new source or reference as a note.
- Switch to “Organizer” to add tags or links.
- If deeper discussion is needed, ask in “Analysis” or open a new note in “Notes.”
-
Rearrange Topics:
- Start in “Architect” to confirm high-level structure changes are needed (e.g. new project or area).
- Switch to “Organizer” to rename categories, move notes, or unify tags.
-
Find Info:
- Switch to “Ask” mode, ask your question.
- System will locate relevant notes. Possibly switch to “Analysis” if deeper correlation is required.
Enjoy your knowledge system and keep learning!
