# Robin's Local Knowledge Base

> This is Robin's personal OpenWiki — a local, growing knowledge base that synthesizes notes, recurring themes, open questions, commitments, and personal logistics from configured sources.

## What this wiki is

- **Personal brain** — durable notes about Robin's life, work, people, projects, and recurring patterns.
- **Synthesis layer** — OpenWiki connector ingestion writes raw data under `~/.openwiki/connectors/<connector>/raw`; this wiki is the opinionated, deduplicated map on top of that evidence.
- **Living document** — pages evolve as new connector data lands. Each update run reviews `open-questions.md` and refreshes the relevant canonical pages.

## Current status

- **Wiki state:** initialized — Hacker News, the local Obsidian vault, and Tavily web search are active and feeding `/sources/hackernews.md`, `/sources/git-repo.md`, `/sources/web-search.md`, and `/themes.md`. All 5 synthesis themes (`/themes/01-organoid-equipment.md`, `/themes/02-bioprinting.md`, `/themes/03-ai-agents.md`, `/themes/04-local-llm.md`, `/themes/05-robin-research.md`) are now generated.
- **Connectors:** Hacker News, git-repo, and web search active. Gmail, Slack, Notion, and X are not yet configured — see "Adding sources" below.
- **Last update:** see [/.last-update.json](/.last-update.json) — the latest source run is **hackernews-1** (`2026-08-07T12:30:21Z`). HN ran on the source-specific LLM-agent topic set (`organoid`, `CelVivo`, `3Brain`, `Cellink`, `openwiki`, `deepagents` — 6 queries, replacing the prior 24-query life-science + workflow lane per the source-specific instruction "Track organoid / CelVivo / 3Brain / Cellink / openwiki / AI agent stories"). Pull produced 21 unique top + best feed items (17 top + 10 best − 6 overlap) + 13 Algolia hits, **zero promotable in-scope signal**: `CelVivo` returned 0 hits; `3Brain` returned 6 string collisions on "brain"; `Cellink` returned 5 string collisions on "cell"/author-name fragments; `organoid` returned 2 string collisions on "organiz-"/"organize"; `openwiki` returned 0 (the `langchain-ai/openwiki` 96 pts brand signal from 2026-07-16 remains the only positive item and stays pinned at `themes.md` `openwiki-brand` Last seen 2026-07-16); `deepagents` returned 0. The four high-engagement top/best items that touch the AI-infrastructure lane are all **adjacent-not-promoted** per the brief's "Workflow tooling (priority LOW) — surface story-worthy changes only" rule: `49201970` "AMD acquires Taalas to boost inference performance by etching models in silicon" 731 pts (custom-inference-silicon acquisition, topical alignment with `MiniMax-m3` row + `/themes/04-local-llm.md` fleet, but no direct change to Robin's named stack — adjacent-only, noted on source page); `49200652` "Qwen3.8 Max now ranked as the best overall model by agentic index" 508 pts (off-scope — open-weight model never earns a `themes.md` row per brief); `49202716` "Bioengineered chewing gum may offer a way to fight HPV and other microbes" 146 pts (off-scope — life-sciences news but outside Robin's 4 application domains); `49199357` "Improving GPT-5.6 Sol in ChatGPT, expanding GPT-5.6 Luna access for free users" 258 pts (off-scope — OpenAI's own product, not Robin's named stack). No `/themes.md` refresh, no `/commitments.md` row, no `/open-questions.md` row, no `/personal-logistics.md` row. The prior run was **web-search-1** (`2026-08-03T18:08:50Z`). Tavily **recovered from the 3-day outage streak** (pulls 8/9/10 on 2026-07-31 / 2026-08-01 / 2026-08-02 all returned `"error": "fetch failed"`); pull 11 is the first successful pull after the streak and surfaces three scope-aligned findings: (a) **CELLINK × Volumetric "new Lumen X" release** (3DPrint.com 2026-07-28, score 0.819) — first credible direct Cellink product / partnership release on the Robin portfolio after 10 prior Tavily pulls of mis-attribution or BIO X Gen 3 / BIO X6 customer evidence — promoted to a NEW `/commitments.md` item `cellink-volumetric-lumen-x-release` per the brief's vendor-news escalation rule; (b) **3Brain Utrecht Summer School "Human Brain Models" course** LinkedIn post 2026-07-29 (score 0.808) — the first Tavily pull where the 3Brain answer text is correct instead of mis-attributing an EEG-headset paper; (c) **CelVivo ClinoStar 2 + Thailand Lab 2026** (labindia-analytical.com News & Events 2026-07-31, score 0.696) — independent non-Instagram confirmation of `ClinoStar 2` product naming with oxygen regulation and CelVivo's Bangkok booth (2026-09-02 → 2026-09-04). `/themes.md` updates from the Tavily pull 11: `class-organoid-3d-bioprinting` Last seen → 2026-08-03 (third vendor-anchored Cellink signal: CELLINK × Volumetric new Lumen X); `agent-memory-architecture` Last seen → 2026-08-03 (akitaonrails/ai-memory research write-up adds to the cluster, now 15+ distinct sources); `hermes-agent-v0-19-quicksilver` evidence count → 10 (Hermes Agent 0.19.1 GitHub bug report 2026-08-02 adds same-week artifact on the v0.19.x track between Quicksilver and v0.20.0); `MiniMax-m3` evidence count → 8+ (unsloth/MiniMax-M3-GGUF + benchlm.ai M3 vs DeepSeek V4 Flash 2026-08-01). No new theme rows added (the Cellink Lumen X release is a single news event, not a recurring signal — keeps commitment-only per the brief's row-count discipline). Existing `3brain-coreplate-2026-conference-positioning` and `celvivo-clinostar-2-nams-demo-2026` commitment Notes are extended with the new evidence rather than spawning new commitments. No new open questions. No new personal-logistics items. The HN pull from 2026-08-03 (`18:00:48Z`) which recovered from the prior 3-day HN empty-pulls streak and surfaced Hermes Agent v0.20.0 + MiniMax-H3 launch cluster on the workflow-tooling lane is preserved unchanged in `/sources/hackernews.md` (now the second-most-recent HN entry). Tavily answer-text quality improved on 3Brain and Cellink this pull but remained partially fabricated on the Hermes/M3 lane ("release date of June 1, 2026") — treat Tavily answer text as untrusted; trust the underlying URL + score + published_date.

## How to use this wiki

- **Ask questions about the wiki** — Robin can ask things like "what's on my plate this week?" or "what recurring themes have you noticed?" and answers come from these pages first.
- **Update on demand** — `openwiki personal` opens the personal chat; `openwiki personal --update "<message>"` ingests configured connectors and refreshes synthesis pages.
- **Trust labels** — facts use `confirmed`, `source-backed`, `watchlist`, or `saved-context` so Robin can see how solid each claim is.

## Adding sources

When Robin is ready, configure connectors to start populating the wiki:

- **Gmail** — `openwiki auth google` (needs Google OAuth refresh token)
- **Slack** — `openwiki auth slack` (needs Slack user token with `search:read` for definitive self-message search)
- **Notion** — configure Notion MCP via `~/.openwiki/connectors/notion/`
- **X / Twitter** — `openwiki auth x` (needs `OPENWIKI_X_ACCESS_TOKEN`)
- **Web Search** — set `TAVILY_API_KEY` (active; see [/sources/web-search.md](/sources/web-search.md))
- **Hacker News** — public feeds, no auth needed
- **Local git repo** — point the `git-repo` connector at a repo path

Auth instructions and env var names live in the OpenWiki operations docs and `~/.openwiki/skills/write-connector.md`.

## Backlog

Deferred until Robin configures connectors or asks for specific documentation:

- **Gmail evidence index** — `/sources/gmail.md` (no Gmail connector configured yet)
- **Slack evidence index** — `/sources/slack.md` (no Slack connector configured yet)
- **Notion evidence index** — `/sources/notion.md` (no Notion MCP configured yet)
- **X / Twitter evidence index** — `/sources/x.md` (no X connector configured yet)
- **Hacker News evidence index** — `/sources/hackernews.md` (active; last refreshed 2026-08-07 12:29 UTC — source-specific LLM-agent topic set (`organoid`, `CelVivo`, `3Brain`, `Cellink`, `openwiki`, `deepagents`) replaces the prior 24-query lane; no promotable in-scope hits — zero vendor-anchored life-science items, zero positive `openwiki` hits, four high-engagement top/best items (AMD acquires Taalas 731 pts, Qwen3.8 Max agentic ranking 508 pts, GPT-5.6 Sol/Luna expansion 258 pts, GitHub Actions/Pages degraded 425 pts) are adjacent-only and stay off `/themes.md` per the brief's "Workflow tooling (priority LOW) — surface story-worthy changes only" rule, see HN source page)
- **Web search evidence index** — `/sources/web-search.md` (active; last refreshed 2026-08-03 18:08 UTC — first successful pull after the 3-day outage streak; CELLINK × Volumetric new Lumen X + 3Brain Utrecht Summer School + CelVivo ClinoStar 2 / Thailand Lab 2026 surfaced, see source page)
- **Git repo evidence index** — `/sources/git-repo.md` (active; last refreshed 2026-08-03 18:13 UTC — covers Robin's Obsidian vault; 5 consecutive unchanged fetches since the 2026-07-29 SOP-rewrite commit, no new commits / untracked files in the last 24 hours)
- **Project / people / company pages** — only created when durable entities emerge from ingested data

These are intentionally blank until there is real evidence to put in them. Populating them with placeholders would dilute the synthesis layer.
