Personal Operating System

The wiki should fit into life as a low-friction operating layer, not as another project that demands constant upkeep.

Working Principles

• The human curates inputs and makes judgment calls.
• The LLM performs filing, synthesis, cross-linking, and cleanup.
• The CLI automates repeatable mechanics.
• The wiki should improve decisions and recall, not become a productivity shrine.

Early Design Bets

• Start with Markdown and local files.
• Use Obsidian for browsing and graph navigation.
• Use Git for history once the structure stabilizes.
• Add search infrastructure only after plain text search becomes insufficient.

Open Questions

• Which source streams are worth ongoing capture?
• What should be private forever versus deployable?
• What is the smallest daily or weekly workflow that compounds?
