Personal Knowledge Management

2026-08-05topicsmastery: unfamiliar#domain/meta#kind/concept

The knowledge-management methodology of this repository itself (domain/meta). Since 2026-08, the systems of three separate repositories have merged into ares-site as one three-pipeline setup:

Pipeline From What it does Entry
Knowledge pipeline all-i-know external content → sources/ capture → wiki/ distillation → challenge against forgetting ingest / cycle
Writing pipeline thought-forge ideas → notes/articles/ → multi-platform distribution write / publish
Skill pipeline iris-work-skills work signals → distillation → SKILL.md drafts → promote distill

The three pipelines share one principle: layered mutability. The raw layer (sources) is immutable, the thinking layer (notes) is append-only, the distilled layer (wiki) merges updates in place, and the output layer (articles) is versioned by git. Layers reference each other through the provenance fields in frontmatter (sources: / wiki_refs:), so any wiki conclusion can be traced back to first-hand material.

The presentation layer is the site itself: imnotares.com/{locale}/knowledge renders the wiki / notes / articles layers directly — merging to main is publishing. The memory layer (memory/), the raw layer (sources/) and pipeline internals (schema/, agents/) stay off the site.
