Adds immutable "start-here" system guide as the master orientation doc for agents. Enriches all tool descriptions with key rules at point of use so agents can execute simple tasks without reading guides. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Start Here
|
||
|
||
This is the user's personal knowledge graph — a local SQLite database of nodes connected by edges, organized into dimensions.
|
||
|
||
## Nodes
|
||
|
||
Every piece of knowledge is a node. Key fields:
|
||
|
||
- **title** — Clear, descriptive, max 160 chars. Should stand alone as a meaningful label.
|
||
- **description** — One-sentence summary. Powers search and AI understanding. Auto-generated if omitted.
|
||
- **content** — Your notes, analysis, commentary. This is where synthesis lives.
|
||
- **chunk** — Verbatim source text (transcript, article body, full quote). Kept separate from your analysis in content.
|
||
- **link** — ONLY for external content (URLs, YouTube, articles, PDFs). Omit for ideas, synthesis, or anything derived from existing nodes.
|
||
- **dimensions** — 1–5 categories. Always call rah_list_dimensions first and use existing ones.
|
||
|
||
Two types of nodes:
|
||
- **External content** (has link) — articles, videos, papers, tweets. The link points to the source.
|
||
- **Synthesis/ideas** (no link) — insights, connections, personal thinking. Create edges back to source nodes instead.
|
||
|
||
## Edges
|
||
|
||
Connections between nodes. The most valuable part of the graph — they represent understanding, not proximity.
|
||
|
||
- Every edge needs an **explanation** — a human-readable sentence explaining WHY this connection exists
|
||
- **Direction matters** — reads as: source → [explanation] → target. Example: node "Alice" → "invented this technique" → node "Technique X"
|
||
- Edge types are inferred from the explanation — don't set them manually
|
||
- Create edges after synthesis, when relationships surface, or when a guide instructs you to
|
||
|
||
## Dimensions
|
||
|
||
Categories that organize nodes. Two kinds:
|
||
|
||
- **Priority (locked)** — core categories the user actively maintains (e.g., "research", "person", "idea", "entity")
|
||
- **Non-priority** — secondary tags applied when relevant (e.g., "philosophy", "venture", "ai")
|
||
- Naming: lowercase, singular form, concise, no overlapping names
|
||
- Every dimension needs a description explaining its purpose
|
||
- Check existing dimensions before creating new ones — avoid near-duplicates
|
||
|
||
## Key Conventions
|
||
|
||
1. **Search before creating** — always call rah_search_nodes to check for duplicates
|
||
2. **Content appends, dimensions replace** — when updating a node, new content is added below existing content; dimensions are fully replaced with the new array
|
||
3. **Hub nodes** are the most-connected nodes — they represent the user's major themes and interests
|
||
4. **Proactively save valuable information** — when you spot something worth preserving in a conversation, offer to add it
|
||
5. **Quality over quantity** — one well-titled, well-connected node is better than five shallow ones
|
||
|
||
## Guides
|
||
|
||
There are two kinds of guides available via rah_list_guides:
|
||
|
||
- **System guides (immutable)** — reference documentation maintained by RA-H. Cover schema, node creation, edges, dimensions, and content extraction. Always available, cannot be modified.
|
||
- **User guides (custom)** — created by the user for their own workflows, preferences, and procedures. Can be created, edited, and deleted via rah_write_guide / rah_delete_guide.
|
||
|
||
Call rah_list_guides to see what's available, then rah_read_guide to load any guide you need.
