Reflection Weaver

Turn a reflection, draft essay, or voice-note transcript into a woven knowledge object by preserving the voice, extracting stable concepts, and strengthening backlinks.

Use this skill when writing enters your knowledge base as lived material rather than already-normalized concepts.

Core job

1. Decide what the text is:
   • reflection / essay
   • concept note seed
   • synthesis seed
   • some combination of the above
2. Preserve the reflection as writing first.
3. Extract only the concepts that are genuinely stable and reusable.
4. Weave natural links into the reflection body.
5. Strengthen rediscovery through backlinks from surrounding notes.

Non-negotiable rules

• Do not turn a reflection into a hub note.
• Do not replace singularity with general theory.
• Do not add explanatory prose inside the reflection unless the user asks.
• Prefer light embedded links in the reflection body and stronger backlink work elsewhere.

Splitting policy

If a single draft is doing multiple jobs, split it into:

• reflection / essay
• concept note(s)
• synthesis or cluster note if needed

The essay remains canonical for the lived material.

Good extraction targets

• phrases that name a mechanism
• repeated patterns that appear elsewhere in the vault
• tensions that are broader than a single incident

Do not extract every good line.

Linking policy

• Use meaningful nouns and pressure phrases.
• Avoid visible overlinking.
• The note should still read as prose with links turned on.

Output goal

The result should feel like:

• preserved writing
• clearer graph structure
• no loss of voice
