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 — the current run covers 3 connectors (hackernews-1 2026-07-31 18:00, web-search-1 2026-07-31 18:04, git-repo 2026-07-31 18:08). Today's three pulls are an ingestion-outage day, not a content day: HN returned an empty payload (feeds: [], queryResults: [] — connector completed normally with no items), Tavily fully failed (all 10 queries returned structured "error": "fetch failed" — first fully-failed Tavily pull since the lane activated on 2026-07-26), and git-repo HEAD is unchanged at 1a81e485 with a single new untracked directory — 03-Resources/ITX-24h-Host/ (Robin's 24h ITX Hermes-host build config, ¥2,985.82 budget, 10/11 parts arrived, mATX + i5-12400 + DDR4-2666 32G + 双网卡 NAS 隔离) — already promoted to /commitments.md as itx-24h-host-build-2026-q3. No theme row Last-seen was refreshed (none of the three pulls surfaced new in-scope evidence); the source-backed rows (class-organoid-3d-bioprinting, hermes-agent-v0-19-quicksilver, agent-memory-architecture, china-cde-cell-gene-therapy-rules-2026, china-order-no-818-clinical-translation, MiniMax-m3) keep their 2026-07-30 / 2026-07-29 Last seen. No new commitments beyond the ITX row that already sits on the page; no new open questions, no personal-logistics items. Operational note: if the next pull also returns empty / error, check HN connector config + TAVILY_API_KEY validity + Tavily status before continuing to schedule the lane. Previous material-evidence run was the 2026-07-30 cycle documented on /sources/web-search.md pull 7 — the day the first clean 3Brain Tavily evidence, CelVivo ClinoStar 2 NAMs snippets, FDA NAMs framework, and the agent-memory-architecture cluster growth to 14+ sources landed.

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.
