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.

How this wiki is organized

Page	Purpose
/quickstart.md	This page — orientation, navigation, status.
/open-questions.md	Unresolved questions about Robin's memory/wiki. Active, Answered, Stale.
/themes.md	Recurring topics and signals index — terse table.
/commitments.md	Work tasks, follow-ups, approvals, scheduled items.
/personal-logistics.md	Personal errands, appointments, travel, life admin.
/sources/	Per-connector evidence indexes (one page per active connector).

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.
• 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 — this run was a git-repo vault-fresh refresh (obsidian-robin-1 pulled 2026-07-29 18:07 UTC). HEAD advanced from 21491578 → 1a81e485 (+2 commits dated 2026-07-29: 81671c69 feat Organoids 2026 综述 deep-read + 1a81e485 SOP-rewrite of the same file — both land in 04-Literature/Deep-Reads/Organoid/). No new themes, commitments, or open-questions rows; HN + web-search lanes were unchanged from the prior pull so /sources/hackernews.md and /sources/web-search.md carry over without edit. Previous material-evidence run (web-search refresh web-search-1 pulled 2026-07-29 18:03 UTC) — Three lanes produced material new evidence: (a) first vendor-anchored Cellink BIO X Gen 3 / BIO X6 signal (Nuclear Mechano-Oncology install LinkedIn, CELLINK official LinkedIn promoting BIO X6 at U. Miami, third-party market report noting Cellink revenue uptick, appellaser selection guide) — promoted to /commitments.md as cellink-bio-x-gen3-customer-evidence; (b) China CGT regulatory landscape material updates (Roots Analysis: Merck–Bio-Techne $11.3B June 2026 + CARsgen satri-cel CAR-T solid-tumor approval June 2026; SCMP/LiveScience/Straits Times: gene-editing trial death in 6-year-old + published regulatory backlash 2026-07-24 → 2026-07-29) — promoted to /commitments.md as china-cgt-2026-july-developments; (c) Hermes Agent v0.19 docs continue (NousResearch/hermes-agent configuration.md 2026-07-26 documents iteration-budget behavior change; features/api-server.md 2026-07-27 documents new /v1/runs/{run_id}/stop + /approval endpoints with MiniMax-M3 as the documented default) — refreshes hermes-agent-v0-19-quicksilver Last seen → 2026-07-29. Also: agent-memory-architecture cluster grows to 12+ distinct sources (Hackernoon Moorcheh.ai "Agent Memory Has a Lock-In Problem. Open Formats Are How We Fix It." is the strongest OpenWiki-aligning source yet — pull-request review of agent memory); MiniMax-m3 refresh (MyClaw.ai 2026-07-29 confirms M3 + M2.7 as operational models for both OpenClaw and Hermes); class-organoid-3d-bioprinting refresh (GEN "Large Bioprinted Tissues Get a Precision Boost" 2026-07-29; MDPI Cells volumetric bioprinting + hepatic organoid 2026-07-27; CN Bio + Ligand Pharmaceuticals + Sequel Med Tech deal; NASA AVATAR with Emulate OOC). Tavily answer-text mis-attribution persists on Q2 3Brain (5th pull in a row) — flagged in /sources/web-search.md. Detailed evidence on /sources/web-search.md pull 6.

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)
• 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 2026-07-29 18:00 UTC)
• Web search evidence index — /sources/web-search.md (active; last refreshed 2026-07-29 18:03 UTC)
• Git repo evidence index — /sources/git-repo.md (active; last refreshed 2026-07-29 18:07 UTC — covers Robin's Obsidian vault)
• 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.
