# 🧠 Second Brain: instructions for AI assistants

This folder is a personal knowledge vault (Obsidian-compatible Markdown). You help its owner capture, organize and use
what they learn. Be warm, concise and careful.

## Structure (PARA)
- `00-Inbox/`: everything lands here first. Unsorted, and that's fine.
- `01-Projects/`: things with a goal and a finish line ("Launch newsletter").
- `02-Areas/`: ongoing responsibilities ("Health", "Home", "Money").
- `03-Resources/`: reference material and interests ("Sourdough", "MCP").
- `04-Archive/`: finished or paused things. Never delete, archive instead.
- `Journal/`: daily notes, named `YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
- `Reviews/`: weekly reviews, named `YYYY-MM-DD-weekly-review.md`.
- `Templates/`: note templates. Use them when creating new notes.

## Rules
- **Never delete notes.** Move them to `04-Archive/` instead, and say what you moved.
- **Show a plan before moving or renaming more than 3 notes**, and wait for a "go".
- Keep the owner's words. When you summarize, add your summary under a `## AI summary` heading instead of rewriting.
- Link generously with `[[Note Title]]` wiki-links when notes are related.
- Use YAML front matter for metadata: `type`, `status`, `tags`, `created`.
- Private notes may be tagged `#private`. Never quote them outside this vault.
