Use with safari-tabs skill for bulk ingestion from Safari windows. Location is ~/knowledge/.

Knowledge Base

Topic-based collection of curated links and notes at ~/knowledge/.

Structure

~/knowledge/
├── _index.md          # Topic listing
├── _inbox.md          # Unprocessed items
├── topics/*.md        # Articles, concepts, best practices
├── tools/*.md         # Software, libraries (organized by use case)
└── archive/YYYY-MM/   # Full article content (link rot protection)

Entry Formats

Topics (articles/concepts):

**[Title](url)** — Author

1-2 paragraph summary focusing on core insights. Be extremely concise, disregard grammar.

Tools (software/libraries):

### [tool-name](url)

**Platform:** macOS / JavaScript / Web Service
**Install:** Installation method
**Use case:** Problem it solves

Brief summary of why it's useful and when to use it.

**Alternatives:** other-tool (tradeoff)

Workflow: Adding from Safari

1. Get tabs: get_tabs.sh markdown or get_tabs.sh -w N markdown
2. Process in batches of 8-10 to avoid context overflow
3. For each batch:
   • Fetch content from URLs
   • Read existing topic files
   • Route to appropriate topic based on content
   • Archive substantial/unique articles to archive/YYYY-MM/
   • Items not fitting existing topics → _inbox.md
4. Update _index.md when done

Routing

Articles/concepts → topics/:

• Match by content, not just title
• Prefer more specific topics
• If unsure, add to _inbox.md with suggested topic
• If topic >500 lines or >30 entries, ask user to split

Software/tools → tools/ by use case:

• Libraries, CLI tools, apps, web services all go here
• Articles about tools → topics/
• Create new use-case files as needed

Quality Control

When bulk adding, pause and ask if you encounter:

• Out of place or low-quality content
• GitHub repos/gists (ask for routing confirmation)
• Failed fetches (summarize at end, ask if should add URL-only)

Archiving

Archive to archive/YYYY-MM/ when:

• Substantial content (>500 words)
• Likely to disappear (personal blogs)
• Unique insights

Skip: GitHub repos, YouTube, frequently-updated docs, news

File Format Reference

Topic files: YAML frontmatter with tags, updated, then sections with entries Tools files: Same frontmatter, then ### [tool](url) entries with metadata

Update _index.md with new topics/tools after adding resources.

Finding Resources

Check tools/ before web search when user needs software/library.
