Thought inbox

Capture lane for ideas that pop up — including the half-formed ones Denys would otherwise lose.

Capture (two paths in)

1. Brain dump file — raw/braindump/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md. Stream-of-consciousness, then ingest.
2. Quick item — phone or desktop one-liner (“idea: X”, “remember to check Y”). Claude appends it to the day’s inbox file raw/braindump/inbox-YYYY-MM-DD.md and timestamps it. No discipline required at capture time.

Processing

When asked to “process the inbox” (typically during a weekly-review or on demand):

1. Read unprocessed items in raw/braindump/inbox-*.md.
2. For each, decide one of:
   • Discard (note in log, remove from inbox).
   • Promote to a wiki page (entity/concept/synthesis as fits).
   • Link into an existing hub page.
   • Hold for one more week (max 2 holds; after that, force-decide).
3. After processing, rename the inbox file with a -processed suffix so it’s clear what’s been swept.

Why a separate hub

Without an inbox, every passing idea either competes with the structured wiki (pollution) or evaporates (loss). The inbox makes capture fast and undisciplined; the processing step is what enforces discipline. The two phases must be separated in time.
