OrbitOS — My Vault

A self-contained iterative daily working AI-collaborative repo. Everything orbits around me — projects, knowledge, and daily tasks stay in motion and connected. AI handles the organizing; I focus on thinking.

Folder Structure

10_Daily/         → Daily logs. /start-my-day generates these. Captures land here via /daily-note-addition.
20_Project/       → Active projects (flat, linked to areas via frontmatter).
30_Research/      → Deep dives — physics reference notes, supervisor research profiles.
40_Wiki/          → Atomic concepts — ~195 notes across 9 topic clusters, heavily linked.
50_Resources/     → Curated feeds, literature, attachments, meeting outlines.
90_Plans/         → Execution plans, archived when done.
99_System/        → Templates, prompts, bases dashboards, archives.

How I Use the Commands

When I want to...	I run	What happens
Start my morning	/start-my-day	Reviews yesterday, surfaces active projects, generates today's daily note
Turn an idea into a project	/kickoff	Structures it with C.A.P. layout (Context, Actions, Progress), asks clarifying questions
Deep-dive a topic (new ML paper, visa pathway, TPC technique)	/research <topic>	Two-agent workflow: researches, then organizes into 30_Research/ and 40_Wiki/ with wikilinks
Get a quick answer without creating notes	/ask <question>	Direct answer, optionally saves to wiki
Explore an idea before committing	/brainstorm	Interactive session, can optionally become a project
Clean up finished work	/archive	Moves completed projects to 99_System/Archives/
Catch up on AI news	/ai-newsletters	Curates TLDR AI, The Rundown AI into 50_Resources/
See what's shipping in AI	/ai-products	Product Hunt, HN, GitHub, Reddit roundup
Break down complex tasks	/breakdown-tasks <task>	Stratified decomposition with estimates and dependencies, inserted into daily note
Estimate daily workload	/estimate-time	Reasoning-based time estimates for today's tasks at subtask resolution
Create an atomic wiki note	/atomic-note	Creates a single-concept note in 40_Wiki/ with auto-linking and wikilink discovery
Hand off work to another session	/handoff-prompt	Generates a constraint-based handoff prompt without over-prescribing implementation
Review wiki knowledge	/wiki-review	Spaced-repetition review of Wiki notes using forgetting-curve scheduling
Derive a formula step-by-step	/guide-derivation	Guided derivation of physics/math formulas with scaffolded steps
Explain a concept simply	/Feynman-Technique	Feynman-style explanation as if teaching a 12-year-old
Annotate a confusing note	/insert-Feynman	Inserts Feynman explanation callouts directly into the note file
Polish English writing	/phrasing-refining	Grammar, idiom, and naturalness review with terse inline corrections
Stress-test an idea	/idea-debate-team	Multi-agent debate from distinct lenses to expose blind spots
Self-critique current work	/reflect	Adversarial review of current session trajectory
Park a quick thought in today's note	/daily-note-addition	Adds flat checkbox captures to the daily note without full triage
Dispatch parallel agents (heavyweight)	/orchestrate	Decomposes a task, dispatches sub-agents, reviews, synthesizes results
Dispatch parallel agents (lightweight)	/dispatch	Fast sub-agent dispatch — skips decomposition, restatement, and formal review
Extract web page content	/defuddle	Clean markdown extraction from URLs, removing clutter
Wrap up my day	/end-my-day	Evening review, deferred task identification, wind-down
Create a diagram	/excalidraw-diagram-generator	Generates Excalidraw diagrams from natural language
Build an MCP server	/mcp-builder	Step-by-step guide for creating MCP servers (Python/Node)
Create a NotebookLM podcast	/notebooklm	Full Google NotebookLM API — notebooks, sources, artifacts
Evolve skill definitions	/evolve-skills	Persists session lessons into per-skill evolution.md files
Anchor to my game framework	/anchor-game-framework	Surfaces identity statement, 1-year goal, daily levers

C.A.P. Project Layout

Every project follows:

• Context — What am I trying to achieve? What does success look like?
• Actions — Phased task checklists
• Progress — Timestamped updates linking back to daily notes

Linking Convention

[[NoteName]]                  # Link to another note
[[NoteName|Display Text]]     # Link with custom label
![[NoteName]]                 # Embed entire note inline
![[NoteName#Section]]         # Embed a specific section

Link liberally. The AI creates connections automatically, but manual links are just as valuable.
