Vault Intake And Curation

Overview

This skill handles the working part of the vault: capturing raw material, normalizing structure, and curating draft knowledge without crossing into canonical space.

Use For

• source imports
• NotebookLM landing notes
• ProjectRaw/ updates
• topic-folder cleanup
• draft synthesis and topic indexes

Do Not Use For

• direct canonical publication
• archive decisions
• topic merge decisions that require coordinator authority

Workflow

1. Confirm target topic_id
2. Confirm target layer is intake or curation
3. Check registry for existing objects
4. Update or create files in working layers
5. Preserve source references
6. Log important changes
7. If the result looks long-lived, submit a promotion candidate instead of self-promoting

Required Outputs

• updated file path
• preserved source lineage
• registry-consistent topic linkage
• ledger entry for meaningful changes

Common Mistakes

• moving raw notes into canonical directories
• dropping source references during cleanup
• restructuring topic folders without updating registry
• silently changing topic identity
