Ariadne Knowledge Capture
Compile material after its destination and write set are known. This skill does not select a research scope, create research topology, classify evidence independently, or judge synthesis disposition.
Authorization
- Require a known destination and explicit
allowed_write_set before writing. In a multi-scope vault, the target must be named or confirmed in the current turn.
- Read root instructions and every ancestor scope instruction through the target.
- Read relevant indexes, agent navigation, routing, local ingest workflow, and folder hubs progressively.
- Keep every mutation inside the write set. Parent/root navigation, sibling scopes, and downstream destinations require individually named paths.
For research, consume the full ariadne:research-ingest handoff envelope without changing it:
target_scope
research_boundary
allowed_write_set
source_type
evidence_role
derived_from
inquiry_links
pipeline_state
requested_operation
If a research envelope is missing, ambiguous, or requests paths outside the set, return to ariadne:research-ingest. Route missing topology to ariadne:research-pipeline rather than creating it silently.
Capture And Compile
- Capture one canonical raw artifact when the source must remain inspectable. For research, preserve
source_type, evidence_role, derived_from, and research_boundary exactly from the handoff. Map handoff inquiry_links to artifact field inquiries; use an empty flat list when no inquiry is known.
- Separate observed or source claims from interpretation.
- Compile the smallest durable note or notes supported by the material.
- For compiled research, map handoff
inquiry_links to canonical frontmatter field inquiries without inventing an inquiry, and link artifacts downstream to upstream with derived_from.
- Link artifacts from authorized local hubs. Report any out-of-set navigation obligation instead of expanding scope.
- Add follow-up items only inside the allowed write set.
- If compiled research may affect current understanding, hand it to
ariadne:research-synthesis. This skill does not judge synthesis disposition.
Generated analysis and derivative copies retain upstream provenance and do not count as independent corroboration. Capture cross-scope material once; do not duplicate raw evidence.
Minimum Research Raw Schema
Write research raw artifacts with at least this flat schema, plus local title, origin, locator, and date fields required by ancestor instructions:
type: raw-source
research_boundary: "[[Domains/Example/Research/00 Example Research Boundary]]"
source_type: meeting
evidence_role: first-party-evidence
origin: Product interview
locator: not-applicable
captured: 2026-07-15
compilation_status: pending
derived_from: []
inquiries: []
Allowed compilation states are pending, compiled, source-only, or needs-review. Use compiled only when at least one derived note links back to the raw artifact. Do not change the handoff classification merely to satisfy a local template.
Promotion Writes
Accept a promotion candidate from ariadne:research-synthesis only when its destination is named or confirmed in the current turn and included in the write set. Create or update the destination note with research_basis or equivalent derived_from links. Do not move, duplicate, or silently rewrite the canonical research.
Validation
Before finishing, confirm that every write was authorized, raw material is compiled or intentionally source-only, provenance is present, claims and interpretation remain distinct, important artifacts are locally discoverable, and focused validation passes or its warnings are reported.
Use ariadne:research-ingest for research target resolution and classification, ariadne:research-pipeline for topology, ariadne:research-synthesis for dispositions, ariadne:navigation for separately authorized structural routes, and ariadne:maintenance for broad vault health.
