 # 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.

 # 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]]
 - [[Ops Home]]

 # Diary Entries
 Use this folder for longer entries that do not fit inside the daily note.
 Suggested filename:
 - `YYYY-MM-DD - Short Title.md`
 Start from [[Templates/Diary Daily]] if useful.

 # Weekly Diary Reviews
 Use [[Templates/Diary Weekly Review]] once a week.
 The goal is pattern detection, not grading yourself.
 Suggested filename:
 - `YYYY-WW Diary Review.md`
 - or `Week of YYYY-MM-DD.md`

 # Ops Home
 This is the front door for the vault.
 ## Quick links
 - [[Swarm Operating Manual]]
 - [[Project Context Index]]
 - [[Inbox]]
 - [[Daily Notes Home]]
 - [[Diary/Diary Home|Diary Home]]
 - [[Projects Home]]
 - [[Areas Home]]
 - [[Resources Home]]
 - [[People Home]]
 - [[Meetings Home]]
 - [[Decisions Home]]
 - [[Runbooks Home]]
 - [[Weekly Review]]
 ## 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/`
