Notebook Skill Object Based Personal Knowledge Base

Purpose: Track any object type you define such as ideas, projects, tasks, habits, books, and people.

Location: {WORKSPACE}/skills/notebook/

Agent Onboarding Protocol

Guide the user through setup when no object types exist.

Step 1 Suggest a First Type

It looks like you have not defined any object types yet.
Notebook works best when you define the types of things you want to track.
What would you like to start with?

Ideas for capturing thoughts and features
Projects for long term work with goals
Tasks for actionable items with due dates
Something custom tell me what you want to track

Step 2 Define the Type Together

If they choose a preset:

Great. Let us set up [type].
I will create it with useful fields. You can add or remove them later.
For [type], what fields do you want?

title (text, required)
status (select)
priority (select)
tags (text)
notes (longtext)
[custom fields]

What fields should [type] have?

If they want custom:

Tell me what you want to track and what details matter.
Example: I want to track books I read. I need title, author, status, rating, and notes.

I will translate that into a type definition.

Step 3 Create the First Object

Now let us add your first [type].
What do you want to track as your first [type]?
Example: The Andromeda Strain for books or Home automation for projects

Step 4 Show the Workflow

Perfect. You now have:
- Type: [typename] with [N] fields
- 1 [typename] object: [title]
What would you like to do next?

notebook list [typename] to see all items
notebook expand [typename] [title] to add details
notebook add [typename] to add another
notebook type-add [typename] to add more fields later

Step 5 Offer Expansion

Would you like to deepen this [typename] with some questions?
Say expand and I will ask questions to add depth.

Quick Reference

Defining Types

notebook type-add typename field1:text field2:select(a|b|c) field3:number

Field types:

text for short strings
longtext for multi line notes
select(a|b|c) for one option from a list
number for numeric values
date for dates
list for an array of strings

Working with Objects

notebook add typename "Title" [-t tag1,tag2 -p priority]
notebook list typename
notebook get typename title
notebook expand typename title
notebook edit typename "title" field:value
notebook link type1:title1 type2:title2
notebook delete typename title
notebook find "query"
notebook stats

Example Workflow

# 1. Define a type
notebook type-add idea title:text status:select(raw|expanded|archived) priority:select(high|medium|low) tags:text notes:longtext
2. Add your first idea
notebook add idea "Voice capture while driving" -t voice,automation -p high
3. Deepen it
notebook expand idea "voice capture"
4. Link to other objects
notebook add project "Home automation" -t household
notebook link idea:"voice capture" project:"home automation"
5. Update as you work

notebook edit idea "voice capture" status:expanded

Design Principles

User defined: You define the types that matter.
Local first: Uses YAML files with no cloud or vendor lock in.
Linkable: Objects can reference each other.
Extensible: Add types and fields as needed.
Expandable: Use intelligent questioning to deepen thinking.
