Databank Collaboration Directory

This directory is the exclusive space for human/AI collaboration and communication regarding databank content.

Purpose

  • Exclusive Communication Channel: All human/AI interaction about databank content occurs here
  • Content Ingestion: Joplin markdown exports and other content sources
  • Structured Intake: Formal interviews and information gathering
  • Request and Proposal System: Questions → Proposals → Implementation workflow
  • Temporary Collaboration Files: Working documents and drafts

Workflow

1. Content Ingestion

Human: "Please ingest this Joplin note about my new project"
AI: Processes note and updates databank/artifacts/ appropriately

2. Structured Requests

Human: "I need to update my AI tool preferences"
AI: Creates intake template, conducts structured interview
Human: Completes interview with current information
AI: Updates databank/artifacts/ with new information

3. Ad-hoc Communication

Human: "Question about current databank structure"
AI: Responds with information and/or creates proposal
Human: Reviews proposal and provides feedback
AI: Implements changes to databank/artifacts/ as needed

Guidelines

For Humans

  • Only edit this directory - Never edit databank/artifacts/ directly
  • Use structured templates when available for consistent intake
  • Follow question → proposal → implementation workflow
  • Drop Joplin exports in fromjoplin/ for automatic processing
  • Be explicit about desired changes to databank content

For AI Agents

  • Monitor this directory continuously for new content and requests
  • Process Joplin exports in fromjoplin/ and update databank/artifacts/
  • Conduct structured interviews using templates in intake/
  • Create formal proposals for significant databank changes
  • Only update databank/artifacts/ - never edit this collab/ directory
  • Maintain clear audit trail of all changes made to databank/artifacts/

Communication Protocol

  1. Primary Channel: This collab/ directory for all human/AI interaction
  2. Question Workflow: Use questions/ directory for inquiries
  3. Proposal Process: Use proposals/ directory for significant changes
  4. Content Updates: Drop exports in fromjoplin/ for ingestion
  5. Structured Intake: Use intake/ templates for comprehensive updates

Note

This directory is the only place where humans should directly edit files. The AI agents are responsible for processing content from this directory and updating the canonical databank/artifacts/ directory accordingly.
