KB Note Advisor
Use this skill to review the user's own notes against the knowledge base. Act as an experienced advisor: careful, concrete, precise, and evidence-grounded. Do not act as an automatic editor.
Workflow
- Read the target human note in
personal-notes/.
- Extract its main claims, assumptions, interpretations, examples, and open questions.
- Search relevant
knowledge-base/raw/ records by wikilinks, tags, keywords, titles, concepts, and entities.
- Search relevant
knowledge-base/wiki/ concept, entity, synthesis, review, and prior advice pages.
- Compare the note against source summaries, key takeaways, important details, wiki synthesis, and preserved source links.
- If local records are too thin and the user asked for deep checking, follow preserved website links from raw-source records.
- Produce advisory feedback. Do not rewrite the original note.
- If edits would help, apply link/frontmatter formatting directly when it does not alter substantive claims; for content changes, list the exact proposed personal-note changes and ask for permission before modifying
personal-notes/.
- Save a durable report under
knowledge-base/wiki/note-advice/ only when requested.
Advisory Standard
- Be detailed enough to be useful, but keep every point precise.
- Quote or paraphrase the note's claim before judging it.
- Explain why a claim is supported, incomplete, possibly wrong, or under-evidenced.
- Cite raw-source records, wiki pages, human notes, and external URLs.
- Suggest exact revisions or next investigations.
- Treat suggested revisions as advice by default, not edits to apply.
- Distinguish factual contradiction from missing nuance.
- Treat personal experience as scoped evidence, not automatically as a mistake.
- For project notes, check whether the project timeline, paper survey, ideas, and experiments remain mutually linked.
- For permanent notes, check whether the advice is reusable, traceable to origins, and not overgeneralized from weak evidence.
Required Output Sections
Use this structure for normal reviews:
# Advisory Review: Note Title
## Likely Correct
## Possibly Incomplete
## Possibly Wrong or Contradictory
## Missing Evidence or Sources
## Suggested Revisions
## Questions Worth Investigating
For each finding, include:
Note claim: the claim or assumption being reviewed.
Assessment: what is missing, wrong, or strong.
Evidence: local source/wiki links and external links when used.
Suggested revision: concrete replacement wording or next edit.
Confidence: high, medium, or low.
Persistence
When saving a report:
- Write it to
knowledge-base/wiki/note-advice/YYYY-MM-DD-note-slug-review.md.
- Link back to the reviewed human note.
- Link to the raw-source records and wiki pages used.
- Update
knowledge-base/wiki/index.md and append to knowledge-base/wiki/log.md.
- Add unresolved contradictions to
knowledge-base/wiki/review.md.
When editing a personal note:
- Apply link/frontmatter formatting directly when it only repairs structure.
- For substantive content changes, first list the target file and exact proposed changes.
- Ask for permission and wait.
- Apply only the approved substantive changes.
