# 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. The 2026-08-08 web-search update attempt was skipped because the connector is not enabled and `TAVILY_API_KEY` is empty; the latest successful Tavily pull remains 2026-08-03 18:08 UTC. Gmail, Slack, Notion, and X are not yet configured — see "Adding sources" below.
- **Last update:** see [/.last-update.json](/.last-update.json) — this run is **git-repo-1 update (2026-08-08)** for the Obsidian vault + OpenWiki wiki. Vault HEAD bumped from `1a81e485` (2026-07-29) to `d7df3830` (2026-08-08); 9 new commits landed on `main` in the last 5 days, with 19 untracked files in the working tree (8 of which are the new `02-Clients/Agents/区域-2026-0807.md` distributors-rebuild + the new `_known_associations.md` association index). The 2026-08-07 distributor refresh (Hermes hook 4) replaces the 2026-07-24 baseline (261 dealers → 259 dealers: 华北 74 → 72) and identifies **济南成全生物科技有限公司 (曹沛起)** as the only CelVivo ClinoStar-listed agent in the 259-dealer list (cross-region: 华北 + 山东); the same hook also maps FemtoBiomed CellShot → 9X Bio (汇佰生物) → TriArm Therapeutics (翁靖傑, 128 万 Phase1 / 8-10 至 8-14 现场 demo), and finds 3Brain / Cellink / FemtoBiomed direct agents → 0 in the 259 baseline. Wiki edits this run: (a) `/sources/git-repo.md` — fully rewritten from the 2026-08-03 stale state to the 2026-08-08 fetch (vault HEAD `d7df3830`, 9 new commits, 19 untracked files, 4 vendor-paper deep-reads since 2026-08-03, 8 distributors-rebuild + association index); (b) `/sources/distributors-china-2026.md` — replaced 2026-07-24 baseline with 2026-08-07 baseline (259 dealers; full per-region Δ table; new `_known_associations.md` index table); (c) `/sources/literature.md` — added Rosero 2026 Microbioreactor + Fernandez Vallone 2026 Cells THSDC papers to the 30-day table; (d) `/themes/05-robin-research.md` — vault HEAD updated to `d7df3830`; CRM section updated to reflect 2026-08-07 `_known_associations.md` partial resolution for 董慧群 → 济南成全; distributor map section updated with 8-07 baseline numbers + 4-vendor break-out partial resolution; 30-day research output table extended with 2026-08-06 Parfitt (DJ1 LOF midbrain organoid PD) + 2026-08-08 Rosero (Microbioreactor Mini Review) + 2026-08-08 Fernandez Vallone (Cells THSDC); (e) `/open-questions.md` — updated `agent-dong-huiqun-celvivo` with 2026-08-07 partial resolution (济南成全 candidate); added 2 new questions: `chengdu-baile-vs-lidesai-for-ou-xianhong` (成都 dealer 2选1 for 西南医大殴贤红), `distributors-3brain-cellink-zero-coverage` (259 dealer list shows 0 三Brain / 0 Cellink / 0 FemtoBiomed direct agents — channel gap or xlsx gap?); (f) `/commitments.md` — added 2 new commitments: `dong-huiqun-ji-nan-chengquan-link` (confirm 董慧群 ↔ 济南成全 link), `distributors-2026-08-07-refresh` (落地 2026-08-07 distributor baseline to wiki + 跨工具). Prior run was **web-search-1 update attempt (2026-08-08)** — **skipped** because the connector is not enabled and `TAVILY_API_KEY` is empty; no raw Tavily evidence was written and no CelVivo / 3Brain / Cellink findings were added to `/themes.md`, `/commitments.md`, `/open-questions.md`, or `/personal-logistics.md` from this source attempt. Wiki edits in that prior run were limited to: (a) `/sources/web-search.md` — added a "2026-08-08 attempted update — skipped" section recording the connector status + the missing API key + the absence of new 24-hour evidence; replaced the `openwiki_generated` placeholder front matter with explicit `type` / `title` / `description` / `tags`; (b) `/sources/README.md` — moved Web Search from "not configured" to "active" with the latest-successful-pull and skip note; refreshed the connector roll table with the same status; replaced placeholder front matter; (c) `/themes.md` — replaced placeholder front matter; repaired six broken internal-link markers in the theme table (the heading anchors `2026-07-27-1804-pull`, `2026-08-08`, `china-cde-cell-gene-therapy-classification-source-backed`, `MiniMax-m3-watchlist`, `hermes-agent-best-models-eval-source-backed-workflow-tooling-low-priority`, `MiniMax-h3-launch-cluster-refreshed-this-run` did not match the current headings in the source pages); no theme rows were added or promoted (no new Tavily evidence); (d) `/quickstart.md` (prior run) — added a "Latest update — web-search-1 attempted 2026-08-08 skipped" paragraph ahead of the existing hackernews / literature / web-search prior-run history; updated the wiki state note to mention the 2026-08-08 skip; updated the Web Search connector row in "Adding sources" with the missing-API-key caveat. Prior successful source run was **hackernews-1** (`2026-08-08T18:00:44Z`) — third consecutive "no promotable hits" pull under the simplified 6-query LLM-agent topic set (after 2026-08-07 12:29 and 2026-08-08 03:15 UTC); 2 feeds (`top`, `best`) → 23 unique items; all 6 queries (`organoid`, `CelVivo`, `3Brain`, `Cellink`, `openwiki`, `deepagents`) returned `nbHits=null` / 0 hits. Zero vendor-anchored life-science items, zero positive `openwiki` hits, three flag-for-traceability items (`49214468` Managing AI Coding Costs at Scale 290 pts best databricks blog, `49220609` OpenAI accidental attack on Hugging Face timeline 192 pts top simonwillison.net, `49215786` Claude Bluetooth-tracking anecdote 100 pts top) are adjacent-only and stay off `/themes.md` per the brief's "Workflow tooling (priority LOW) — surface story-worthy changes only" rule and the "low-engagement items are watchlist by default; promotion requires recurrence, strong engagement, or corroboration" rule. The third consecutive empty-pull under the new 6-query set **confirms the empty-pulls-on-vendor-queries pattern is normal cadence**, not an outage — no config-side intervention needed. `/sources/hackernews.md` updated with a new "Latest update — 2026-08-08 18:00 UTC" section + raw-dump pointer; `openwiki-brand` watchlist row stays at Last seen 2026-07-16 (no positive `openwiki` hits this pull — confirms the absence is normal cadence). Prior run was **literature-flywheel 2026-08-08** (today's flywheel-sync filled in 3 missing sinks: Liu 2026 Nat Biomed Eng shape-conformal porous framework + Miao 2025 Cell v2 vascularized lung/gut organoids + Sharma 2026 Cell Stem Cell vascularized retinal organoids). Wiki index rebuilt: `/sources/literature.md` reorganized with proper frontmatter + the 3 new papers added to "最近 30 天精读" (mtime 倒序) + the "按 Vendor 统计" table extended with 2026-08-08 additions per vendor; three new deep-read synthesis pages created (`/sources/literature-sharma-2026-cell-stem-cell-vascularized-retinal-organoid-rgc-deepread.md`, `/sources/literature-miao-2025-cell-vascularization-v2-deepread.md`, `/sources/literature-liu-2026-nbme-shape-conformal-organoid-deepread.md`); `/themes/01-organoid-equipment.md` CelVivo + 3Brain evidence anchors extended with the 3 new papers + the CelVivo + 3Brain vascularized organoid workflow chain; `/themes/02-bioprinting.md` application-domain evidence extended with Liu 2026 microlattice fabrication evidence; `/themes/05-robin-research.md` 30-day research output table extended with 2026-08-08 additions per vendor; `/themes.md` `class-organoid-3d-bioprinting` row Last seen → 2026-08-08 (Source now includes `literature-flywheel`, Evidence count → 26+). Three new commitments added: `liu-2026-hd-mea-roadmap-implication` (verify with 3Brain whether the Liu 2026 shape-conformal framework is on their product roadmap, HD-MEA rating 5), `miao-2025-celvivo-clinostar-positioning` (fold Miao 2025 vHLPO co-differentiation story into CelVivo ClinoStar sales narrative, ClinoStar rating 5), `robin-picked-papers-nocodb-table` (capture the structural change — Liu 2026 is the first entry in the new NocoDB table `Robin_Picked_Papers`, created 2026-08-08 per Robin instruction). Two new open questions added: `liu-2026-rogers-lab-vs-3brain-relationship` (partnership / licensing / competitive pressure?), `sharma-2026-retinal-organoid-mea-cross-sell` (does the 60-channel MCS MEA route transfer cleanly to 3Brain HD-MEA?). Prior run before that 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); (b) **3Brain Utrecht Summer School "Human Brain Models" course** LinkedIn post 2026-07-29 (score 0.808); (c) **CelVivo ClinoStar 2 + Thailand Lab 2026** (labindia-analytical.com News & Events 2026-07-31, score 0.696). 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; latest successful pull 2026-08-03 18:08 UTC; the 2026-08-08 update was skipped because the connector is not enabled in `~/.openwiki/connectors/web-search/config.json` — 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`.

- **Web search evidence index** — `/sources/web-search.md` (active; last successful pull 2026-08-03 18:08 UTC — first 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; 2026-08-08 update attempt skipped — connector not enabled, `TAVILY_API_KEY` missing)
- **Git repo evidence index** — `/sources/git-repo.md` (active; last refreshed 2026-08-08 18:11 UTC — covers Robin's Obsidian vault (HEAD `d7df3830` 2026-08-08) + OpenWiki wiki (HEAD `c94940c7` 2026-08-08); 9 new commits since 2026-08-03 fetch (Fernandez Vallone 2026 + Rosero 2026 Microbioreactor + Liu 2026 v2-v11 + 4 经销商 hook 升级); 19 untracked files including 8 new `02-Clients/Agents/区域-2026-0807.md` distributors-rebuild + `_known_associations.md` association index)
- **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.
