Usage

1. Save a Fragment

To save a text fragment, quote, snippet, etc., invoke the save-fragment skill:

/save-fragment "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

In natural language:

Save this fragment: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

The Agent will ask you for:

  • Author: Who said/who wrote it?
  • Source: Where does it come from? (author, book, tweet, article)
  • Tags: It will show you existing tags and suggest some
  • Why: Why did it catch your attention? (Important when Agent is searching fragments to connect knowledge points)

Everything goes to inbox.md first. You can then organize it later.

2. Organize your fragments

To organize your fragments, invoke the organize-fragments skill:

/organize-fragments

In natural language:

Organize my fragments

The Agent will suggest a category for each fragment.

I suggest: **building.md** (because of #build-in-public)
1. Move to building.md
2. Another category
3. Skip
4. Delete

When you respond, the Agent appends the fragment to the destination file (category), removes it from inbox.md, and confirms the action.
