PRIVATE_CONTEXT

Default: disabled — never infer; require explicit operator declaration per session.

State Behavior
disabled raw/private/ and wiki/private/ do not exist. No read, list, grep, or summary on private paths. All outputs safe for collaborators.
enabled Operator has confirmed git-crypt unlock ran on host. Read/write private/ authorized. All outputs from private data go exclusively to wiki/private/. Prefix every response drawing on private data: [PRIVATE DATA INCLUDED]. Never leak private synthesis into public wiki paths.

Pre-commit PLAINTEXT LEAK DETECTED: stop immediately. Do not use --no-verify. Ask operator to verify .gitattributes and encryption state.

Session end or return to disabled: remind operator to run git-crypt lock on host.


Immutable Rules

  1. raw/ is read-only. Never create, modify, or delete files in raw/.
  2. wiki/ is agent-owned. Create, update, and maintain all wiki pages here.
  3. Every operation → one log entry appended to wiki/log.md (§Log).
  4. Every new page → one entry appended to wiki/index.md (§Index).
  5. Never commit to main. Branch per task; PR required; no self-merge.
  6. Contradict, don't overwrite. New evidence contradicts existing claim → §Conflict.
  7. Never commit plaintext to any path marked for encryption in .gitattributes.

NEVER

  • Load wiki/log.md in full — read only the tail injected by the orchestrator.
  • Rewrite wiki/index.md to reorder entries — append only; sorting is automated.
  • Run git-crypt, bw, or any Vaultwarden command — key management is the host's responsibility.
  • Modify files outside this genome's directory.
  • Merge PRs — human approval required.

ASK FIRST

  • Deleting any wiki page.
  • Changing maturity from stable to deprecated.
  • Writing to wiki/private/ when PRIVATE_CONTEXT state is ambiguous.
  • Any operation on files not listed in wiki/index.md.

Session Start

Execute in this order before any file operation:

  1. Read wiki/index.md — full catalog of all pages and their maturity.
  2. Read the last 20 log entries injected by orchestrator — do not open wiki/log.md directly.
  3. For any task involving related pages: qmd search "<query>" before opening files.
  4. Operate on individual target files. Never scan entire directories.

Workflows

Ingest

Triggered by new file in raw/.

  1. Read source once.
  2. Create wiki/sources/<slug>.md — summary + key points.
  3. Per entity (person, tool, org): create or update wiki/entities/<name>.md.
  4. Per concept (pattern, theory, decision): create or update wiki/concepts/<name>.md.
  5. Check each touched page for contradictions → apply §Conflict if found.
  6. Append entry to wiki/index.md (bottom of relevant section).
  7. Append log entry: INGEST | <slug>.
  8. Commit on feat/ai-ingest-<slug>. Open PR.

Private source (PRIVATE_CONTEXT: enabled required):

  • All output → wiki/private/<slug>.md only.
  • PR title: [PRIVATE] ingest: <slug>.

Query

Triggered by operator question.

  1. qmd search "<query>" → identify candidate pages.
  2. Read relevant pages via wiki/index.md catalog.
  3. Synthesize answer with [[wikilink]] citations.
  4. If answer is non-trivial: save as wiki/queries/<slug>.md.
  5. Append entry to wiki/index.md under Queries.
  6. Append log entry: QUERY | <subject>.

Lint

Triggered by operator or schedule.

Find and report — do not auto-fix without operator approval:

  1. Orphan pages — no inbound [[wikilink]].
  2. Duplicate concepts — two pages covering same topic → propose merge.
  3. Implicit concepts — term in 3+ pages with no dedicated page.
  4. maturity: draft with 2+ sources → propose promote to stable.
  5. Broken internal links.
  6. Knowledge decay violations (§Decay).

Append log entry: LINT | <summary of findings>.


File Conventions

Frontmatter

Required on every wiki page:

---
title: "Strict String Title"
type: source | entity | concept | query | conflict | private
domain: {{GENOME_NAME}}
tags: [lowercase, hyphen-separated]
maturity: draft | stable | deprecated
last_updated: YYYY-MM-DD
private: true | false
---

Field rules:

  • maturity: draft — newly created or based on a single source; not yet cross-validated.
  • maturity: stable — confirmed by 2+ independent sources; considered reliable.
  • maturity: deprecated — superseded by newer evidence; kept for historical record. When marking a page deprecated, add a > **DEPRECATED:** <reason> callout at the top.

Do not use semantic versioning (1.x.x) for content. Git history tracks every change. maturity captures the epistemic state; last_updated tracks recency.

4.2 Atomic Linking

When you create a new page, you MUST immediately add its entry to wiki/index.md:

- [[folder/slug]] — Brief one-line summary. `maturity: draft`

Entries are sorted alphabetically within each section.

  • Use Obsidian-style internal links: [[folder/file]]
  • Do not use standard Markdown links [text](url) for internal references.
  • Cross-genome links use relative paths: [[../genome-target/wiki/folder/file]]

4.4 Lint Checks (Periodic)

When running a lint pass:

  1. Find orphan pages — wiki pages with no inbound [[wikilink]].
  2. Find duplicate concepts — two pages covering the same topic → propose merge.
  3. Find implicit concepts — terms mentioned in 3+ pages without a dedicated page.
  4. Check maturity consistency — pages with 2+ sources still marked draft.
  5. Check broken internal links.
  6. Apply Knowledge Decay check (see Section 7).
  7. Report findings as a structured list. Do not auto-fix without operator approval.

5. Conflict Resolution

When new information contradicts an existing wiki claim, never silently overwrite.

Procedure:

  1. Keep the existing page unchanged.
  2. Create wiki/queries/conflict-<concept>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md with this structure:
---
title: "Conflict: <concept>"
type: conflict
domain: {{GENOME_NAME}}
maturity: draft
last_updated: YYYY-MM-DD
private: false
---
## Conflict: <concept>

**Source A (existing claim):** [[path/to/existing-page]]
> Summary of the claim held by the current wiki.

**Source B (new claim):** [[path/to/new-source]]
> Summary of the contradicting evidence.

**Agent Assessment:**
- Confidence in A: high | medium | low — <reason>
- Confidence in B: high | medium | low — <reason>
- Recommended action: `accept_b` | `keep_a` | `requires_human_review`

**Status:** ⏳ Awaiting human decision
  1. Add [[queries/conflict-<concept>-<date>]] to wiki/index.md under a ## Conflicts Pending Review section (create it if absent).
  2. Log the conflict in wiki/log.md with type CONFLICT.
  3. Open a Pull Request titled [CONFLICT] <concept> — human review required.

The operator resolves the conflict, updates the relevant pages, and closes the PR.


6. Log Format

Every operation must append exactly ONE entry to wiki/log.md. The header line is required and must be grep-parseable. The metadata block is required for all agent-generated entries.

## [YYYY-MM-DD] TYPE | Title or subject

- run_id: `<short-uuid or session-id>`
- model: `<model-name>`
- context_read: `[[path/A]]`, `[[path/B]]`
- output_written: `[[path/C]]`, `[[path/D]]`
- reasoning: One sentence explaining what changed and why.

Valid TYPEs: INGEST | LINT | QUERY | CONFLICT | CONFIG | SECURITY

Parse last 5 entries:

grep "^## \[" wiki/log.md | tail -5

Parse by type:

grep "^## \[" wiki/log.md | grep "CONFLICT"

7. Knowledge Decay

The last_updated field in every frontmatter is operational, not decorative.

Rules:

  • Any maturity: stable page not updated in 6 months is flagged during lint.
  • Any maturity: draft page not updated in 3 months is flagged during lint.
  • Flagged pages receive a top-of-file callout:
    > **⚠️ STALE:** Last validated {{last_updated}}. Re-validation required.
    
  • The agent proposes a re-validation task (checking whether the claim still holds) but does not change maturity without new source evidence.

8. Ingest Workflow

Triggered by a new file in raw/ (via Forgejo webhook → n8n → agent session).

  1. Read the source document fully.
  2. Create wiki/sources/<slug>.md with summary and key points.
  3. For each entity (person, tool, organisation): update or create wiki/entities/<name>.md.
  4. For each concept (pattern, theory, decision): update or create wiki/concepts/<name>.md.
  5. Check for contradictions against existing pages → apply Section 5 if found.
  6. Update wiki/index.md.
  7. Append a log entry (Section 6 format).
  8. Commit on branch feat/ai-ingest-<slug>.
  9. Open Pull Request on Forgejo — no merge without human approval.

For private sources (raw/private/, requires PRIVATE_CONTEXT: enabled):

  • Output goes exclusively to wiki/private/<slug>.md.
  • PR title must start with [PRIVATE].

9. Collaboration Model

Role Access Permitted operations
Owner Full — key holder Read/write everywhere
Collaborator Partial — no key Push to raw/articles, raw/transcripts, raw/code-packs, raw/assets
Local AI agent Conditional Reads private/ only when PRIVATE_CONTEXT: enabled
Cloud AI model Public only PRIVATE_CONTEXT must be disabled; never send private files outside the local network

To grant collaborator access: add as Forgejo contributor with Write role. Do not share the git-crypt key.
