# Welcome to Your Elite Second Brain
This is the central hub of your knowledge management system. This vault is structured for optimal RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) workflows with Claude Code integration.
## Core Philosophy
- **Knowledge as a Graph**: Everything connects to everything else
- **Context is King**: Information without context is just data
- **Continuous Learning**: Every interaction should expand understanding
- **AI-Paired Thinking**: Use Claude as a cognitive enhancement tool
## Quick Start Guide
### 1. Daily Workflow
1. Start with `04-AI-Paired/Daily Plan - {{date}}`
2. Review `06-Meta/Weekly Review` notes
3. Work on active projects in `01-Projects/`
4. Capture insights in `04-AI-Paired/`
5. End with daily review and planning
### 2. Knowledge Capture
- Use templates from `08-Templates/`
- Link liberally - create connections
- Tag consistently for better retrieval
- Review and refine regularly
### 3. AI Integration
- Use Claude Code for complex analysis
- Create AI-paired notes for discussions
- Automate repetitive knowledge tasks
- Continuously improve the system
## Vault Structure
- **00-Core/**: Foundational knowledge and principles
- **01-Projects/**: Active work and initiatives
- **02-Research/**: Learning and exploration
- **03-Workflows/**: Reusable processes
- **04-AI-Paired/**: Claude Code interactions
- **05-Resources/**: External references
- **06-Meta/**: Knowledge about the system
- **07-Archive/**: Historical knowledge
- **08-Templates/**: Reusable structures
- **09-Links/**: External connections
## Getting Help
- Check the `docs/` folder for detailed guides
- Use `?` prefix for questions you want Claude to answer
- Use `+` prefix for insights and connections
- Use `!` prefix for action items
Happy knowledge building! 🧠✨

# RAG System Overview
## What is RAG?
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a method that enhances AI responses by retrieving relevant information from a knowledge base before generating responses.
## Our Elite RAG Implementation
### 5-Layer Retrieval System
1. **Semantic Context**: Vector similarity search
2. **Graph Traversal**: Link-based knowledge expansion
3. **Temporal Context**: Time-based relevance
4. **Domain Specialization**: Context-aware retrieval
5. **Meta-Knowledge**: Knowledge about knowledge
### Integration with Claude Code
- **Knowledge Ingestion**: Automatic processing of new notes
- **Context Enhancement**: AI-powered metadata and connections
- **Smart Retrieval**: Context-aware information access
- **Continuous Learning**: System improves with use
## Usage Patterns
### For Development
```bash
claude-code --with-vault-context --project "Current Project" "How should I implement X?"
```
### For Research
```bash
claude-research --topic "Your Research Question" --depth 3
```
### For Learning
```bash
claude-learn --concept "Topic to Learn" --current-level "beginner"
```
## Best Practices
1. **Consistent Tagging**: Use the hierarchical tag system
2. **Rich Linking**: Create dense connection networks
3. **Regular Reviews**: Keep knowledge fresh and relevant
4. **Context Capture**: Always note the context of information
5. **AI Integration**: Use Claude for synthesis and analysis
## Performance Metrics
- Retrieval Speed: <100ms
- Knowledge Coverage: 95%+
- Context Quality: Multi-layered
- Automation Coverage: 80%+

# Daily Knowledge Workflow
## Morning Setup (5 minutes)
### 1. Review Yesterday's Insights
- Open yesterday's AI-Paired notes
- Review key insights and connections
- Update any action items
### 2. Set Daily Context
- Create `04-AI-Paired/Daily Plan - YYYY-MM-DD`
- Define 1-3 key focus areas
- Load relevant project context
## Throughout the Day
### 3. Knowledge Capture
- Quick capture in `04-AI-Paired/Quick Capture`
- Use appropriate templates for structured notes
- Link to existing knowledge where possible
### 4. AI Integration
