Knowie Init
Help the user create knowledge/ through conversation. Low pressure: filling one bullet beats an empty file — say so when they hesitate.
Build the structure
The three files (principles / vision / experience) + empty Key Extensions tables + concepts/, history/, draft/.
Route once
"Want me to (a) offer common examples and patterns you react to and extend — less blank-page pressure; or (b) describe it in your own words first, and I only offer examples if you get stuck?"
- Default to (a) example-first for hesitant users or empty files; lead each question with concrete options.
- (b) free-form: go straight to the open questions. Remember the choice.
Per file — layered (ask 2-3, listen, go deeper)
- principles: push for the root — the one belief everything else derives from; don't settle for surface rules. Establish root principles first (very few), then derived ones (cite the derivation chain).
- vision: one-sentence goal → current state → next milestones, each with verifiable success criteria.
- experience: trigger recall with concrete common lessons; convert what resonates into the four-part form (theory said → actually happened → resolved by → lesson).
Invariants
- Write only on confirmation; show the draft first; never overwrite without showing a diff.
- Root principles: few, not many.
- Translate the example options into the user's language — don't leave them in English.
