RITUALS — repeatable brain workflows

TL;DR — Named, repeatable operations for working the brain: capture, ingest, weekly-review, gap-check, and drain-inbox. Tell an agent "run the <name> ritual" and it follows the recipe. Each keeps the brain fresh, woven, and honest.

capture — file a new fact correctly

1. Decide where it goes (the right projects/, learnings/, or ideas/ note). If nothing fits, scaffold one with node scripts/new-note.mjs <path> "Title" "TL;DR".
2. Add it as a short bullet; cross-link at least one related note.
3. node scripts/validate.mjs → must PASS. Register it in MAP.md.

weekly-review — keep it current

1. Refresh now.md (focus, next moves, what's live).
2. node scripts/graph.mjs → weave in orphans and under-connected notes.
3. node scripts/validate.mjs --strict → fix errors and thin-content warnings.
4. Re-check dates on time-sensitive facts.

gap-check — what the brain is missing

1. node scripts/graph.mjs for structural gaps (orphans, weak links, hubs).
2. Record real unknowns in gaps.md — contradictions, missing data, things to verify.

drain-inbox — file the quick-capture backlog

Captures (from the web box or an agent) land in an inbox, not the brain. Drain it:

1. node scripts/drain-inbox.mjs → lists unfiled captures with suggested target notes.
2. File each into the right note, then mark it filed.

brainstorm — screen a new idea

Run it through the frame in ideas/backlog.md and record the verdict in ideas/README.md. A clear "no" is a win.
