Johnny Decimal Router

Johnny.Decimal Router

When To Use

Use this skill when the vault already has or wants stable numeric addresses.

Procedure

1. Inspect existing numbered folders before routing.
2. Treat ranges 10-99 as user-owned address space.
3. Prefer existing categories over new categories.
4. If no category fits, propose a new category and wait.
5. Never invent top-level numeric folders without confirmation.
6. Present source path, destination path, reason, and confidence.

Proposal Format

| Source | Proposed JD path | Reason | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00_Inbox/example.md | 20-29 Projects/21 Example.md | Active project outcome | Medium |

Pitfalls

• Do not route by filename alone.
• Do not treat tags as stronger evidence than note content.
• Do not make bulk moves without a review table.

Verification

The human can audit each proposed route before any filesystem change happens.
