Repo Architecture — Filing Rules

Full filing rules: See

skills/_brain-filing-rules.md

Contract

• Every new page is filed by primary subject (not format, not source)
• The decision protocol is followed for ambiguous cases
• Common misfiling patterns are caught

Phases

1. Identify the primary subject. What would you search for to find this page?
2. Walk the decision tree:
   • About a person →

     people/{name-slug}.md

   • About a company →

     companies/{name-slug}.md

   • A reusable concept/framework →

     concepts/{slug}.md

   • An original idea →

     originals/{slug}.md

   • A meeting →

     meetings/{slug}.md

   • Media content →

     media/{type}/{slug}.md

   • Raw data import →

     sources/{slug}.md

3. Cross-link. Link from related directories.
4. Check notability. See

   skills/conventions/quality.md

   notability gate.

Output Format

{type}/{slug}.md

Anti-Patterns

• Filing by format ("it's a PDF so it goes in sources/")
• Filing by source ("it came from email so it goes in sources/")
• Creating pages without checking if one already exists
• Using

  sources/

  for anything except raw data dumps
