clotho_init(path: "/path/to/project")
This creates .clotho/ with: content/, data/, graph/, index/, config/.
Use clotho_create_entity for all 15 entity types:
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "program", title: "Technical Education")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "responsibility", title: "Team Mentorship")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "objective", title: "Reduce deploy time", parent_id: "<program_id>")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "workstream", title: "API Redesign")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "task", title: "Write RFC")
clotho_create_note(title: "Meeting Notes", content: "# Notes\n...")
clotho_create_reflection(period: "weekly")
clotho_capture(file_path: "/path/to/transcript.md", entity_type: "transcript")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "person", title: "Alice", email: "alice@example.com")
Responsibilities represent ongoing obligations that never complete. They serve as organizational anchors in the navigator — entities linked to a responsibility via belongs_to appear nested under it.
Direct Reports — Create a responsibility for managing direct reports. Link 1:1 meeting notes, performance notes, and related tasks to it:
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "responsibility", title: "Direct Reports")
clotho_create_note(title: "1:1 with Alice - 2026-03-28", content: "...", parent_id: "<direct_reports_id>")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "task", title: "Write Alice's performance review", parent_id: "<direct_reports_id>")
This produces a navigator tree like:
▾ Responsibilities
▾ Direct Reports
1:1 with Alice - 2026-03-28
1:1 with Bob - 2026-04-01
Write Alice's performance review
Per-person responsibilities — For heavy management load, create a responsibility per person:
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "responsibility", title: "1:1s — Alice Chen")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "responsibility", title: "1:1s — Bob Martinez")
Other common responsibilities:
People entities are separate from responsibilities. To connect them:
clotho_create_relation(source_id: "<person_id>", relation_type: "relates_to", target_id: "<responsibility_id>")
This doesn't nest them in the navigator (only belongs_to does that) but makes the relationship queryable in the graph.
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "decision", title: "Go with option B")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "risk", title: "Rate limiting at scale")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "blocker", title: "Shared database coupling")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "question", title: "How to handle session store?")
clotho_create_entity(entity_type: "insight", title: "Strangler fig pattern works well")
