Below is a concise yet comprehensive set of outputs you can drop straight into your vault:

---

## 1. Executive “TL;DR”

**Vision:**  
New Cognition will ship a _suite_ of AI‑enabled “thinking‑technology” tools (Surf, Transform, Branching, Dash, Revise, etc.) and a markdown‑first knowledge architecture (Core ↔ Cognition OS).  
**Strategy:**

- Start _very_ small for the upcoming Uni competition → deliver one or two polished, intuitive demos (Surf + Branching are the current front‑runners).
- Use an **Obsidian vault under Git** as the single source‑of‑truth for _all_ internal knowledge; Discord for day‑to‑day chatter; Notion only for light sprint/burndown tracking.  
  **Timeline (competition “sprint 0”):**  
  | Week (Mon–Sun) | Major output | Owner(s) |  
  | --- | --- | --- |  
  | 28 Jul – 3 Aug | Vault skeleton, Git workflow doc, first Surf wire‑frame | Nathan (+Sam for wiring) |  
  | 4 Aug – 10 Aug | Surf clickable prototype, Branching UI mock‑up | Nick, Sam |  
  | 11 Aug – 17 Aug | 3‑min pitch video script + storyboard | Yosh (+team reviews) |  
  | 18 Aug – 24 Aug | Record & edit video, collect B‑roll of prototype | Nick (+PJ for editing) |  
  | 25 Aug – 31 Aug | Final polish, dry‑run Q&A deck | Whole team |  
  | **5 Sep** | **Video submission deadline** | — |

| #   | Task                                                                                  | Owner  | Due    | Notes                                                          |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1   | **Create shared vault** (`new‑cognition-core`) + push starter repo; share invite link | Nathan | 29 Jul | Include `.obsidian/plugins/obsidian‑git` folder pre‑configured |
| 2   | Draft **markdown note template** (see §3) & add to `/templates`                       | Nathan | 30 Jul | Use YAML keys: `type, date, participants, tags, summary`       |
| 3   | **Back‑import transcripts** you posted today:                                         |

 • `2025‑07‑24_General.md`  
 • `2025‑07‑27_General.md` | Sam | 31 Jul | Store raw text under `/raw/transcripts/`; create a short summary note in `/meetings/` that embeds the full transcript via `![[...]]` |
| 4 | **Surf prototype** – implement multilevel summariser stub (section → para → sentence) | Nick | 10 Aug | Use any LLM locally; hard‑code sample article |
| 5 | **Branching UI Figma**: highlight‑to‑branch interaction & zoomable node view | Yosh | 10 Aug | Can be low‑fidelity wire‑frame |
| 6 | **Pitch video script** – 450‑word “pain → tool demo → vision” arc | Yosh | 15 Aug | Target length ≈ 2 min narration, 1 min demo footage |

## 3. Recommended Obsidian meeting‑note template

```markdown
---
type: meeting
title: NUU Core Meeting
date: 2025-07-24
participants: [Nathan, Nick, Sam, ...]
tags: [core, strategy, vault, competition]
---

# Summary

- **Goal:** Agree on minimal knowledge infrastructure and product focus.
- **Key decisions:**
  1. Use a _folder‑less_ Obsidian vault, synced by Git; no databases for now.
  2. Ship Surf (text) + Branching (chat UI) as the _MVP demos_ for the Uni competition.
  3. Manual transcript import is acceptable short‑term; automation (“contexter”) will follow.

# Discussion log

(→ Collapse raw log or embed full transcript)

![[raw/transcripts/2025-07-24_NUU-Core.txt]]

# Action items

- [ ] Nathan → set up repo and push vault skeleton (by **2025‑07‑29**)
- [ ] Sam → back‑import transcript (by **2025‑07‑31**)  
      ...
```

> **Tip:** keep _raw_ transcripts in `/raw/transcripts/` and place every summarised note in `/meetings/`; link across folders with `[[…]]`. That keeps daily work uncluttered but preserves full fidelity for later retrieval tools.

---

## 4. Information‑architecture quick rules

| Item           | Convention                                                                                 |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **File name**  | `YYYY‑MM‑DD_<slug>.md`                                                                     |
| **Folder**     | `/meetings/`, `/product/<product‑name>/`, `/research/`, `/raw/transcripts/`, `/templates/` |
| **Links**      | Prefer `[[Exact Title]]`; use _aliases_ when re‑labelling, not duplicates                  |
| **Embeds**     | Use `![[…]]` only for long content (transcripts, specs) to avoid context bloat             |
| **Versioning** | Commit often; one logical change per commit; let Obsidian‑Git auto‑pull at start‑up        |

---

## 5. Immediate recommendations

1.  **Automate transcript cleaning** early – even a 20‑line Python script that removes timestamps & speaker fillers will save hours.
2.  **Lock Sunday 2 pm‑4 pm AEST** as the standing weekly on‑site sprint checkpoint (fits Yosh’s availability).
3.  Spin up a **private GitHub Project** board linked to the repo so that closed PRs auto‑progress tasks.
4.  Record _all_ design sketches (whiteboards, Figma links) in the vault – even half‑baked ideas have retrieval value later.
5.  Respect the **communication‑cost framework** raised in the 27 Jul meeting: surface low‑confidence, low‑impact intuitions as “concerns” and reserve full debates for high‑impact, high‑confidence clashes.

---

With the structure above you can:

- paste the template,
- drop each transcript into `/raw/transcripts`,
- create clean, link‑rich meeting summaries in `/meetings`, and
- watch the vault become the living backbone of New Cognition.

Let me know if you’d like a quick bash script to automate the transcript‑to‑markdown conversion or any tweaks to the file taxonomy.

## Prompt:

Okay for NUU core, I want to create a syntaxical system both in the files and in the naming and structure of the format such that i can create th ecli frameowkr easliy. SO obsidian has different layers of structure.

Hyperlinks
Tags
Yaml
Heading parsing
Heading referencing

Etc. These are dimenisons in whihc features can be implemented

Core CLI is a python cli tool that does all markdown relate doperations

One is core fetch file.md, will fetch the ocntets and also the 1 layer deep (which can be chanegd) of hyperlinks and put it into clipboard organised way.

Also, ofcse it will the lci program will have its own parsing system etc Expand on thisa

It's minimalistic and viewable, file titles ARE the ID.

bwt each folder has a file the same name as the folder which descirbes the folder

Below is a **practical specification** you can drop straight into the vault → when followed it lets you build the first‑pass _core CLI_ quickly **without locking yourself into a complicated schema**.

---

## 1  Guiding principles

| Principle                                 | Why it matters for the CLI                                                 |
| ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **File title = primary ID**               | Keeps every reference human‑readable; no opaque UUIDs needed.              |
| **Everything is Markdown + YAML**         | One parser, one AST. No bespoke syntax to maintain.                        |
| **One‑file‑per‑concept**                  | Hyperlink graph stays shallow; `core fetch` can walk it deterministically. |
| **Folders are only buckets**              | The _folder file_ (`<folder>.md`) is the _real_ node the graph points to.  |
| **Zero required plugins inside Obsidian** | Vault remains portable; the CLI owns all automation.                       |

---

## 2  Folder & file conventions

```text
📁 /              # vault root
├── 01 Vault/     # long‑lived semantic notes
│   └── 01 Vault.md       # describes purpose of folder
├── 02 Journal/
│   ├── 02 Journal.md
│   └── 2025‑07‑27.md     # daily note
├── 03 Records/           # raw meeting dumps, transcripts, logs
├── 04 Sources/           # citations, PDFs, web clippings
├── 05 Media/             # images/video with .md wrappers
├── 06 Extras/            # scratch, experiments
└── 09 Exports/           # anything generated for outside the vault
```

- Folder index files _share the exact folder name_ so you can jump with “Go to file”.
- Daily/journal files are always `YYYY‑MM‑DD.md` (a sort‑key that needs no additional metadata).

---

## 3  Per‑file YAML front‑matter

```yaml
---
title: "NUU Core Meeting"
date: 2025-07-24
type: meeting # meeting | concept | spec | record | …
participants: [Nathan, Nick, Sam]
tags: [core, strategy, competition]
aliases: ["Core Mtg 24‑Jul"] # Optional Obsidian alias list
depth_default: 1 # CLI default fetch depth for this note (over‑ride ‑d flag)
---
```

### Parsing rule‑of‑thumb

- Only fields in **lower‑snake‑case** are treated as reserved words by the CLI.
- Unknown keys are passed through untouched; the tool never deletes or rewrites them.

---

## 4  Heading & hyperlink grammar

| Feature           | Syntax in vault                  | Note for parser                                             |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Section IDs**   | `## Phase 1 {#phase1}`           | Markdown‑It leaves `{#id}` intact → easy anchor extraction. |
| **Heading links** | `[[Surf#API design]]`            | Split on first `#`, then normalise heading with slugify.    |
| **Aliased links** | `[[NUU Suite                     | full suite]]`                                               | Everything before first \` |
| **Tag hierarchy** | `#product/surf`, `#status/draft` | Keep exactly one `/` depth so the set remains enumerable.   |

---

## 5  CLI design sketch (Python ≥ 3.11)

### 5.1 Package layout

```text
core_cli/
├── __main__.py     # entry‑point: `python -m core_cli`
├── commands/
│   ├── fetch.py
│   ├── graph.py
│   ├── new.py
│   └── utils.py    # parsing helpers
├── parser.py       # thin wrapper on markdown-it-py
└── clipboard.py    # cross‑platform copy (pyperclip fallback)
```

Use **`typer`** (built on Click 8) for ergonomics:

```python
import typer, yaml, markdown_it
app = typer.Typer()

@app.command()
def fetch(
    file: str,
    depth: int = typer.Option(1, "-d", help="Link depth"),
    headings: bool = False,
    copy: bool = True
):
    ...
```

### 5.2 Core algorithms

| 2 **Parse Markdown**                                                                                                                    | Run `markdown_it.MarkdownIt("commonmark").enable("front_matter")` → get combined AST & YAML dict.               |
| 3 **Collect outbound links**                                                                                                            | First pass: grab `links` list from AST tokens.                                                                  |
| 4 **Recursive crawl (`depth`)**                                                                                                         | BFS until depth exhausted, _skipping_ notes tagged `#status/private`.                                           |
| 5 **Materialise clipboard**                                                                                                             | Assemble as:                                                                                                    |

| 6 **Copy / print**                                                                                                                      | If `copy=True` → `pyperclip.copy()`; else stream to stdout for piping.                                          |

### Extensible config

A vault‑root file `.core.yml` overrides defaults:

```yaml
ignore_tags: [status/private]
max_depth: 2
editor_command: "obsidian://open?path={path}"
```

The CLI loads it once and merges with CLI flags (`--depth` etc.).

## 6  Future sub‑commands (stub)

| Command                                     | Purpose                                                    |
| ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `core new concept "Surf"`                   | Scaffold note from `/06 Extras/09 Templates/Concept.md`.   |
| `core graph Surf --show 2`                  | ASCII or HTML link‑graph for quick visual check.           |
| `core rename "Company.md" "NUU Company.md"` | Safe rename & auto‑update all backlinks.                   |
| `core lint`                                 | Report orphan notes, duplicate titles, heading collisions. |
| `core export Surf --pdf`                    | Pandoc pipe for publishing to `/09 Exports/`.              |

---

## 7  Example workflow

```bash
# pull latest vault
git -C ~/nuu-core pull

# copy main meeting + first‑level context to clipboard
core fetch "NUU Core Meeting (2025-07-24)" -d 1

# open new scratch buffer and paste into ChatGPT / Gemini prompt
code --new-window

# crawl link graph two levels and open all files in Obsidian
core graph Surf --open 2
```

---

## 8  Implementation order of attack

1.  **Vault indexer** (`core_cli.utils.build_index`)  
    _Walk the tree once, dump `{title: path, tags: [...], links: [...]}` to `.core/index.json`._
2.  **`fetch` command** (MVP)  
    _Reads index → BFS crawl → copies joined document._
3.  **Refactor helpers** (`rename`, `lint`)  
    _Ride on the same index; regex replace inside Markdown._
4.  **`graph` visualiser**  
    _Optional: emit DOT → call Graphviz if present._

Everything else can be layered later without changing the note syntax.

---

### Ready to code?

- Install deps: `pip install typer[all] markdown-it-py pyyaml pyperclip rich networkx`
- Symlink `core` to PATH: `python -m pip install -e ./core_cli`
- Run `core fetch README` to verify the pipeline.

With this structure you can iterate on the CLI while your teammates keep writing notes—no migration pains, no broken links. Ping me when you’re ready for unit‑test scaffolds or a Pandoc export recipe.

DONT YOU SEE

THI SSYSTEM IS A NEW SYSTE MAKRODWN FIRST FILE FIRST INDEX ON TOP RENEWABLE NOT ONLY JUST IN OBSIDIAN BUT ALSO FOR AI AND FUTURE PROOF. DO YOU SEE THIS JUMP THINK DEEPLY also

Title can be a dimension of structure coz youc an have Title (subtitle) {subsubtitle} depending how we depend on the syntax

So like DONT YOU SEE TH EVISION THIS NEW PARADIGMN

## Response:

Request for o3 pro

Reasoned for 1m 35s

I get it — you’re describing far more than a tidy Obsidian workflow.  
What you’re sketching is a **“File‑First, Markdown‑Native Knowledge Substrate”** that any tool (CLI, LLM, future agent) can ingest, mutate and regenerate without platform lock‑in.  
Think of it as _git + Markdown + self‑describing naming conventions_ ⇒ an **operating system for ideas**.

Below I zoom out to the paradigm level, then drill into _how the title‑dimension you proposed (“Title (subtitle) {sub‑subtitle} …”) becomes a first‑class structural axis_ that AI and the CLI can parse.

---

## 1  Paradigm shift, framed

| Traditional KM stack                                                  | Your _File‑First / Index‑On‑Top_ paradigm                                                                                              |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Database or silo behaves as _source of truth_; export ≈ after‑thought | **Markdown file = canonical record**. Everything else (graph DB, embeddings, exports) is _derived_ and therefore disposable/renewable. |
| Internal IDs / block UUIDs / opaque hashes                            | **Human‑readable titles** _are_ the IDs, enriched by syntactic layers (tags, YAML, heading anchors, _and_ title‑suffixes).             |
| Tool vendors own schema & versioning                                  | **Schema lives in the naming & front‑matter conventions** you control; if a tool dies, the Markdown still opens in `cat`.              |
| AI added as a bolt‑on (“chat with my docs”)                           | **AI agents use the same grammar** the CLI does; embeddings are generated straight from the markdown AST and title components.         |
| Backups as blobs                                                      | Git history remains human‑diffable; `core export` can always re‑render to any future format.                                           |

> **⬆ That is the jump:** Moving the _schema_ and _index_ into the _file system itself_ guarantees the knowledge survives tool churn and remains AI‑addressable.

---

## 2  Title‑dimension: formal grammar

```
Title        ::= Core concept string (no parentheses / braces)
Subtitle     ::= '(' … ')'   (optional, 0‑n, ordered)
Subsubtitle  ::= '{' … '}'   (optional, 0‑n, ordered, nested after Subtitle blocks)
FullTitle    ::= Title [Subtitle]* [Subsubtitle]*
```

- All segments remain in the **filename** and the first Markdown H1 line.
- The CLI tokenises `FullTitle` into a list: `["Core concept", "subtitle1", "subtitle2", "subsub1", …]`.

### Why this matters

| Layer        | Example             | Parsed token | How it’s used                                          |
| ------------ | ------------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Title        | `Surf`              | `Surf`       | Primary node ID; backlink slug                         |
| Subtitle     | `Surf (MVP spec)`   | `MVP spec`   | Filter in CLI (`core list Surf --level subtitle`)      |
| Sub‑subtitle | `Surf (API) {v0.1}` | `v0.1`       | Version diffing; embedding metadata for LLM “few‑shot” |

**Rule of thumb:** _earlier segments describe permanence, later segments describe ephemera._  
Your clipboard fetcher can therefore decide:

```python
if seg_level <= user_depth:
    include_section()
```

## 3  Index‑on‑top architecture

```text
                +----------------------------+
                | .core/index.json           |  ← “volatile index” (rebuilt anytime)
                +----------------------------+
                      ▲                ▲
                      | builds from    | feeds
   git-tracked *.md   |                | AST / embeddings
+-----------------+   |            +-----------+
| 01 Vault/       |   |            | /vector/  |  ← FAISS / Chroma etc.
| 02 Journal/     |   |            +-----------+
| ...             |   |
+-----------------+   |
        ▲             |
        | edits       |
+-------------------------+
|  core CLI (Python)      |
|  · fetch / rename / ... |
+-------------------------+
        ▲
        | same AST JSON
+--------------------------+
|  LLM agent / API layer   | ← e.g. LangChain, OpenAI functions
+--------------------------+
```

_Index is always **rebuildable** from raw Markdown_; if it corrupts, `core reindex` walks the tree and regenerates paths, title tokens, heading anchors and tag lists.

## 4  LLM interoperability: prompt contract

```jsonc
{
  "id": "Surf (API) {v0.1}",
  "tokens": ["Surf", "API", "v0.1"],
  "tags": ["product/surf", "status/draft"],
  "yaml": {...},
  "sections": [
     { "anchor":"overview", "text":"..." },
     { "anchor":"endpoint_auth", "text":"..." }
  ]
}
```

- Any agent can ask:
  ```python
  core.fetch(id="Surf", depth=1, json=True)
  ```
  …receive this structure, choose $n$ linked nodes, embed, reason, emit changes, then call
  ```python
  core.patch(id="Surf (API) {v0.2}", diff=delta)
  ```

_Because the grammar is file‑system native, the agent never needs to know Obsidian‑specific APIs._

## 5  Practical next steps

1.  **Lock the title grammar** (above) in a living spec note (`/01 Vault/Markdown Title Grammar.md`).
2.  **Amend the CLI indexer** to parse `FullTitle → [tokens]` and expose:
    - `core find --title "Surf" --subtitle "API"`
    - `core ls --where "tokens[1]=='MVP spec'"`
3.  **Add `depth-map` YAML key** (overrides default depth per note) so `core fetch` respects author intent.
4.  **Write a `core verify` linter** that checks:
    - duplicate `Title` collision in vault
    - illegal characters in any segment
    - subtitle out of canonical order (signals a rename)
5.  **Publish a 200‑word “Why Title Tokens” manifesto** inside `/01 Vault/Cognitive Engineering (Conception).md` – future readers will instantly grasp the paradigm.

### The vision in one line

> **“Every idea is a plain‑text file whose _name itself_ encodes its coordinates in concept‑space; all tooling is ephemeral.”**

I see it, and the spec above turns that vision into code‑reachable reality. Tell me where you want deeper dives — index rebuild algorithm, embedding pipeline, or the linter—and we’ll keep pushing this paradigm forward.
