+# Atlas Reflections
+
+This folder is for optional summaries Atlas creates from diary/daily notes when you explicitly ask for reflection or pattern detection.
+
+Good Atlas reflection output:
+
+- recurring emotional triggers
+- recurring practical blockers
+- things that reliably help
+- avoided tasks or situations
+- tiny-step suggestions
+- durable insights worth linking into [[Atlas/Personal Context/README]]
+
+Boundary:
+
+- Raw diary content stays in Obsidian.
+- Hermes memory should only get compact stable facts/preferences, not day-by-day emotional logs.
+
+Back to [[Diary/Diary Home]].

+# Diary Home
+
+This is the low-friction diary system. The point is not beautiful writing. The point is to give future Will a breadcrumb trail: what happened, what hurt, what helped, what mattered, and what tiny next step is available.
+
+## Start here
+
+- Today's daily note: use Obsidian's Daily Note command.
+- Tiny entry: write only this if energy is low:
+
+```text
+Today:
+Feeling:
+Need:
+Next:
+```
+
+## Daily rhythm: 3 minutes
+
+Use [[Templates/Diary Daily]] when you want a dedicated diary entry, or the diary section in [[Templates/Daily Note]].
+
+Minimum viable entry:
+
+- What happened?
+- What did I feel?
+- What is one tiny next step?
+
+Optional add-ons:
+
+- What helped?
+- What drained me?
+- What do I not want to forget?
+- What am I avoiding?
+
+## Weekly rhythm: 10 minutes
+
+Use [[Templates/Diary Weekly Review]] once a week.
+
+Questions:
+
+- What kept showing up?
+- What gave me energy?
+- What drained me?
+- What did I avoid?
+- What helped even a little?
+- What is one adjustment for next week?
+
+## Atlas help
+
+If you ask Atlas to review diary patterns, the useful output should be gentle and concrete:
+
+- recurring triggers
+- recurring helpers
+- avoided areas
+- sleep/mood/energy patterns
+- tiny-step recommendations
+- durable context worth promoting into [[Atlas/Personal Context/README]]
+
+Do not promote raw diary text into Hermes memory. Keep the raw diary in Obsidian; save only stable preferences or durable facts.
+
+## Folders
+
+- [[Diary/Entries]]: longer dated entries when daily notes are not enough.
+- [[Diary/Weekly Reviews]]: weekly reflections.
+- [[Diary/Atlas Reflections]]: optional Atlas summaries/pattern notes.
+
+## Useful links
+
+- [[Daily/Daily Notes Home]]
+- [[Inbox/Inbox Home]]
+- [[Atlas/Personal Context/README]]

+## Capture flow
+
+1. Capture quickly in [[Inbox]] or today's daily note.
+2. Promote active work to [[Projects Home]].
+3. Preserve durable choices in [[Decisions Home]].
+4. Turn repeated procedures into [[Runbooks Home]].
+5. Move stale but useful material to [[Archive Home]].
+
+## Current priorities
+
+- 
+
+## Active projects
+
+```dataview
+TABLE status, owner, target
+FROM "Projects"
+WHERE status != "archived" AND file.name != "Projects Home"
+SORT target ASC
+```
+
+## Open tasks
+
+```tasks
+not done
+path does not include Archive
+sort by due
+```
+
+## Recent decisions
+
+```dataview
+TABLE date, status, project
+FROM "Decisions"
+WHERE type = "decision"
+SORT date DESC
+LIMIT 10
+```
+
+## Recent meetings
+
+```dataview
+TABLE date, project, attendees
+FROM "Meetings"
+WHERE type = "meeting"
+SORT date DESC
+LIMIT 10
+```
+
+## Active runbooks
+
+```dataview
+TABLE system, status
+FROM "Runbooks"
+WHERE type = "runbook" AND status != "archived"
+SORT system ASC, file.name ASC
+```
+
+## Agent workflow
+
+Use [[Swarm Operating Manual]] for the full Atlas/Hermes/Obsidian/Kanban workflow, [[Project Context Index]] for active project orientation, [[Context Pack]] for specialist handoffs, and [[Promote Session Output to Notes]] when chat output should become durable notes.
+
+Use this pattern when Atlas/Hermes produces useful durable knowledge:
+
+- Workflow guide: [[Atlas Discord Telegram Workflow]]
+- Thread summary → `Resources/`
+- Active implementation → `Projects/`
+- Operational procedure → `Runbooks/`
+- Important architectural/product choice → `Decisions/`
+- Loose capture → `Inbox/`
