Workflow: Sync Docs

Copy project documentation from external repositories into the vault.

Steps

1. Identify source - project repo path and docs to sync
2. Determine destination - typically 01 - Projects/[project-name]/ or 03 - Resources/
3. Copy files preserving structure
4. Add frontmatter to each synced file
5. Update lifecycle - mark as active
6. Add tags - project name, source repo
7. Create/update MOC - link synced docs from project MOC

Tool Usage

# Sync docs from a project
python Tools/VaultManager.py move \
  --path "/external/project/docs/" \
  --to "01 - Projects/my-project/docs/" \
  --sync

# Update lifecycle after sync
python Tools/VaultManager.py lifecycle \
  --path "01 - Projects/my-project/docs/" \
  --state active

Sync Strategy

1. Copy, don't move - source files remain in original location
2. Add vault frontmatter - source path, sync date, tags
3. Convert links - external markdown links to wikilinks where possible
4. Preserve original - keep original formatting intact
5. Track sync date - record when last synced in frontmatter
