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
raw/is read-only. Never create, modify, or delete files inraw/.wiki/is agent-owned. Create, update, and maintain all wiki pages here.- Every operation → one log entry appended to
wiki/log.md(§Log). - Every new page → one entry appended to
wiki/index.md(§Index). - Never commit to
main. Branch per task; PR required; no self-merge. - Contradict, don't overwrite. New evidence contradicts existing claim → §Conflict.
- Never commit plaintext to any path marked for encryption in
.gitattributes.
NEVER
- Load
wiki/log.mdin full — read only the tail injected by the orchestrator. - Rewrite
wiki/index.mdto 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
maturityfromstabletodeprecated. - 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:
- Read
wiki/index.md— full catalog of all pages and their maturity. - Read the last 20 log entries injected by orchestrator — do not open
wiki/log.mddirectly. - For any task involving related pages:
qmd search "<query>"before opening files. - Operate on individual target files. Never scan entire directories.
Workflows
Ingest
Triggered by new file in raw/.
- Read source once.
- Create
wiki/sources/<slug>.md— summary + key points. - Per entity (person, tool, org): create or update
wiki/entities/<name>.md. - Per concept (pattern, theory, decision): create or update
wiki/concepts/<name>.md. - Check each touched page for contradictions → apply §Conflict if found.
- Append entry to
wiki/index.md(bottom of relevant section). - Append log entry:
INGEST | <slug>. - Commit on
feat/ai-ingest-<slug>. Open PR.
Private source (PRIVATE_CONTEXT: enabled required):
- All output →
wiki/private/<slug>.mdonly. - PR title:
[PRIVATE] ingest: <slug>.
Query
Triggered by operator question.
qmd search "<query>"→ identify candidate pages.- Read relevant pages via
wiki/index.mdcatalog. - Synthesize answer with
[[wikilink]]citations. - If answer is non-trivial: save as
wiki/queries/<slug>.md. - Append entry to
wiki/index.mdunder Queries. - Append log entry:
QUERY | <subject>.
Lint
Triggered by operator or schedule.
Find and report — do not auto-fix without operator approval:
- Orphan pages — no inbound
[[wikilink]]. - Duplicate concepts — two pages covering same topic → propose merge.
- Implicit concepts — term in 3+ pages with no dedicated page.
maturity: draftwith 2+ sources → propose promote tostable.- Broken internal links.
- 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.
4.3 Link Integrity
- 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:
- Find orphan pages — wiki pages with no inbound
[[wikilink]]. - Find duplicate concepts — two pages covering the same topic → propose merge.
- Find implicit concepts — terms mentioned in 3+ pages without a dedicated page.
- Check
maturityconsistency — pages with 2+ sources still markeddraft. - Check broken internal links.
- Apply Knowledge Decay check (see Section 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:
- Keep the existing page unchanged.
- Create
wiki/queries/conflict-<concept>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.mdwith 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
- Add
[[queries/conflict-<concept>-<date>]]towiki/index.mdunder a## Conflicts Pending Reviewsection (create it if absent). - Log the conflict in
wiki/log.mdwith typeCONFLICT. - 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: stablepage not updated in 6 months is flagged during lint. - Any
maturity: draftpage 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
maturitywithout new source evidence.
8. Ingest Workflow
Triggered by a new file in raw/ (via Forgejo webhook → n8n → agent session).
- Read the source document fully.
- Create
wiki/sources/<slug>.mdwith summary and key points. - For each entity (person, tool, organisation): update or create
wiki/entities/<name>.md. - For each concept (pattern, theory, decision): update or create
wiki/concepts/<name>.md. - Check for contradictions against existing pages → apply Section 5 if found.
- Update
wiki/index.md. - Append a log entry (Section 6 format).
- Commit on branch
feat/ai-ingest-<slug>. - 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.
