OKF Export

Same garden flattened for agents - markdown paths, required type, no Hugo build.

Key Concept

  • Authoring stays in Hugo; OKF is the agent-readable pass-off copy outside the site.
  • Same garden, flattened - markdown paths, required type field, no Hugo build step.
  • Regenerated on production build and via npm run export:okf.

Level 1 - Recognize

OKF export is a flat markdown bundle of the same garden - paths, types, no Hugo build required.

Level 2 - Explain

Like photocopying your notebook for a friend who uses a different app - same content, agent-readable shape.

Level 3 - Use

When an agent or script needs current note text, regenerate OKF after garden edits instead of parsing the site.

Level 4 - Connect

Keep Hugo as source of truth - stale exports mislead automation; refresh on production build or npm run export:okf.

Level 5 - Create

Build a downstream tool on the OKF handoff, extend its required type and path fields when the tool needs more context, and keep Hugo as the editable source for Building a Personal API.

ChatGPT workflow

Three lanes - all copy-paste friendly:

GoalWhereWhat to paste
Create a new atomic noteCreate NoteCopy prompt → ChatGPT → paste the markdown file back into content/english/notes/
Find connections between notesAny note page (Random Note section) or Random DuoCopy prompt - includes both note bodies + shortest wikilink path when one exists
Give context on existing notesCopy MD or Agent copy on any note (upper right)Paste into ChatGPT as background before asking questions

Copy MD copies the full Hugo file (frontmatter + [[wikilinks]]) - ready to save or edit. Agent copy copies the Open Knowledge Format (OKF) version with resolved markdown links, better when the model doesn't know your wikilink titles.

For the whole garden at once: Copy catalog on this page, or open Bundle index.

Workflow combos

Each row maps to a site button plus a ChatGPT ask.

ComboCopy from siteAsk ChatGPT
Expand a hub (Maps of Content, MOC)Copy hub cluster on a hub page (e.g. Maps of Content, Eternal Principles) + Copy catalog hereWhat atomic notes are missing from this cluster? Output Hugo markdown files.
Garden maintenanceCopy issues on Issues + Copy MD on 3-5 affected notesFix broken links, add extends/contradicts rows, keep voice plain.
Flashcard passCopy MD on a review: true spine note + Copy MD on Flashcards for format rulesWrite six new scenario cards - cue on front, one-breath action on back.
Blog from noteCopy MD on the source noteDistill this into an 800-word blog post. Keep JoRap voice. No extra ## sections.
Post-Create siblingsCreate Note prompt output (lists siblings automatically)Run each sibling title as a new Create Note session
Orphan huntFilter Graph for orphans → Copy MD on 2-3 orphans + Copy catalogWhat wikilinks and relationship rows would connect these to the rest of the garden?

Standing context: paste Copy catalog once into a ChatGPT project. Add Copy MD or Copy hub cluster per session.

RSS Feeds - What I Wish I'd Done Sooner

I figured RSS quietly died around 2010. A friend pointed out it never actually did - it just stopped being trendy. Two weeks of using it later, I was a convert.

Why I Prefer the Google Ecosystem Over Apple

Why I Prefer the Google Ecosystem Over Apple

I run a MacBook Pro M4 and an 11th-gen iPad - and I still live in Google's ecosystem. One Google account glues my Mac, Android, Linux, and TV together. No compelling reason to add an iPhone or Apple Watch on top.

The Mouse Wheel Click: One Button, Three Operating Systems

Most people right-click every link to open a new tab. There's a faster button under their finger - same gesture on every OS, and almost nobody uses it.

Why I Still Keep a Desktop or Laptop

Why I Still Keep a Desktop or Laptop

Every couple of years someone goes mobile-only. I keep a laptop because real work happens faster there - upright, keyboard, full apps - not because I'm lending gear.

Random Note

One garden note picked at random - shuffle for a new pairing with this note.
