Source material becomes more valuable when it is turned into durable, linked, cited wiki pages.

Workflow

  1. Add source material or source notes under raw/ or Clippings/.
  2. Read index.md, Source Index, and recent log.md entries.
  3. Extract metadata: title, author, URL, date, license, topic, and status.
  4. Add or update the source row in Source Index.
  5. Identify durable concepts and contradictions with existing pages.
  6. Create or update wiki pages for those concepts.
  7. Add backlinks between source notes, concepts, tools, people, papers, and workflows.
  8. Update index.md.
  9. Append an ingest or compile entry to log.md.

Rules

  • Do not overwrite raw evidence.
  • Do not copy long copyrighted text into public wiki pages.
  • Keep wiki pages synthetic: explain, compare, connect, and cite.
  • Prefer one source note per source.
  • Prefer one wiki page per durable concept.
