Guides day-to-day dodder and der operations including creating zettels, querying and filtering objects, checking out working copies, organizing content, syncing with remotes, and managing tags, types, and dormant objects. Activated by requests to create, edit, organize, query, show, checkout, checkin, push, pull, sync, tag, or otherwise operate on dodder repositories.
Use when working with object genres, adding genre filters to queries, parsing sigils like :z :t :e :k :b, or modifying genre-based dispatch. Also applies when encountering Genre byte type, genre bitwise operations, MakeGenre, or optimizedQueries maps.
Introduces dodder, a distributed zettelkasten and content-addressable blob store. Covers core concepts (zettels, object IDs, tags, types, blobs, the store), installation via Nix, a first-steps walkthrough including repository initialization and zettel creation, and the mental model for working with dodder. Activated when a user is new to dodder, asks what dodder is, wants to get started, install, set up, or learn how dodder works.
Use when working on the ZettelId internals
Use when working on the dodder/madder blob-store internals
Use when creating, querying, or sharing dodder blob stores at the command line
Use when interacting with dodder ZettelIds (two-part IDs like `ceroplastes/midtown`), seeding a new repo via `dodder init -yin` / `-yang`, choosing predictable or random ID allocation, or interpreting "zettel ids exhausted" errors at the command line.
Use when writing or modifying Go code in the dodder repository - enforces project-specific naming, formatting, and structural conventions that differ from standard Go style
