What it does

Where new brain files go. Decision protocol for filing brain pages by primary subject, not by format or source. Reference for all brain-writing skills.

Repo Architecture, Filing Rules

Full filing rules: See skills/_brain-filing-rules.md

Contract

This skill guarantees:

  • 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

Advisory: "File this at {type}/{slug}.md because the primary subject is {reason}."

When it fails

Follow the agent operator protocol for any gbrain error code, exit code, [AGENT] block or notice block. Specific to this skill:

  • list_pages / search cannot find a matching directory or the brain is unreachable: fall back to skills/_brain-filing-rules.md and say the placement came from the rules, not the live brain.
  • get_page returns page_not_found for the page being filed: confirm the slug with the user before choosing a directory.

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
