Note

Knowledge capture and connection system with automatic organization and retrieval. Use when user mentions taking notes, capturing ideas, recording insights, or finding previous notes. Captures from any context, organizes automatically by topic and project, surfaces relevant notes when needed, and connects related ideas across domains. All data stored locally.

Knowledge capture system. Remember everything, find anything.

Critical Privacy & Safety

Data Storage (CRITICAL)

• All notes stored locally only: memory/notes/
• No cloud note services connected
• No external sync - pure local storage
• No sharing of notes or ideas
• User controls all data retention and deletion

Data Structure

Notes stored in your local workspace:

• memory/notes/notes.json - All captured notes
• memory/notes/topics.json - Automatic topic categorization
• memory/notes/projects.json - Project-based organization
• memory/notes/connections.json - Connections between notes
• memory/notes/search_index.json - Search optimization

Core Workflows

Capture Note

User: "Note: The insight from the book about feedback loops applies to our onboarding problem"
→ Use scripts/capture_note.py --content "Feedback loops from book apply to onboarding" --context "reading"
→ Extract note, identify topics, store automatically

Find Relevant Notes

User: "What have I written about onboarding?"
→ Use scripts/find_notes.py --query "onboarding" --context current
→ Surface all notes related to onboarding, including unexpected connections

Prepare for Meeting

User: "I'm meeting with Sarah tomorrow"
→ Use scripts/prep_meeting.py --person "Sarah"
→ Pull all previous notes about Sarah, her projects, commitments made

Connect Ideas

User: "This reminds me of something I read last month"
→ Use scripts/connect_notes.py --current-note "NOTE-123" --search "last month"
→ Find and surface related notes, create explicit connection

Transform to Knowledge

User: "Synthesize my notes on product strategy"
→ Use scripts/synthesize.py --topic "product-strategy"
→ Transform scattered notes into coherent framework
