# {{title}}

_What this vault is for. Keep it short; a brain does not need a charter, just a sentence it can be held to._

## What This Is For

_A few sentences: what you keep here, what you do with it, and what you want to be true because it exists._

## Not This

_The vault you are deliberately not keeping: the task manager, the file dump, the journal of everything. Writing it down here is what keeps the vault from becoming a junk drawer._

Template: templates/frame.practice.md

# {{title}}

_How the vault runs: the few habits that keep it alive. The agent reads this page before it touches anything._

## Where Things Land

_Where a new thought goes first (today's note, an inbox note), and what happens to it next._

## The Rhythm

_Daily, weekly, yearly: what each note is for and when you write it. The weekly look back is where an effort's heat changes and a loose note gets linked up._

## Naming and Linking Up

_How notes are named, how a note finds its map (`up`), and what a map is for. The habits that keep Atlas findable without folders._

## What the Agent May Do

_What an agent working alone may create, link, or change here, and what it has to leave for you. The line the Agent role keeps._

## Map

_The notes this map gathers, as links, in the order to read them. A map is a note about notes; keep it a list and let the notes carry the content._

Template: templates/entry.day.md

# {{title}}

## Today

_What today is for, in a line or two. Written in the morning, or not at all._

## Notes

_What happened, what you thought, what to keep. Link anything worth keeping up to its map before the week is out._

Template: templates/entry.week.md

# {{title}}

## Looking Back

_What the week did: the efforts that moved, the ones that cooled, the notes worth keeping. Set each effort's heat while it is fresh._

## Ahead

_What next week is for. Three things at most._

Template: templates/entry.year.md

# {{title}}

## Themes

_What this year is for, in a few words each. What every weekly look back gets read against._

## Looking Back

_Written as the year closes: what held, what did not, what next year inherits._

Template: templates/entry.log.md

# {{title}}

## Notes

_What was said, what was decided, what to carry forward. Link the people and the topics up to their maps._

Template: templates/effort.full.md

# {{title}}

## What This Is For

_Why this effort exists, and why now. A short paragraph. If this changes a lot, it is a different effort._

## Done Looks Like

_What finished looks like, as something you could check. If there is nothing here, the effort has no finish line, and that is fine as long as you say so._

## Still to Decide

_What you do not know yet. Kept near the top so it does not get buried._

## Not This

_What this effort deliberately is not, and which effort or map holds that instead. The section that keeps an effort from swallowing a life._

## Notes It Draws On

_The Atlas notes and maps this effort draws on and feeds, as links. The working notes live in Atlas; this page is the one that says what they are for._

## Notes and Decisions

_Notes: the next step, the reminder, the thing to remember. Decisions: one line each, dated, never deleted._
