Story: Add the writing discipline the Zettelkasten page omits
Table of Contents
This page documents a story in Sprint 27. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance criteria, and the tasks that compose it.
1. Goal
Give the Zettelkasten page the half of the method it does not yet carry: the craft of composing and filing a note.
2. Status
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| State | DONE |
| Parent sprint | Sprint 27 |
| Now | Nothing. |
| Waiting on | Nothing. |
| Next | Nothing. |
| Last touched | 2026-10-07 |
3. Acceptance
- The page states the thesis discipline and says which pages it binds.
- The page names the four link relations and the rule that the author chooses the thread.
- The page lists the anti-patterns.
4. Tasks
| Task | State | Start | End | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaffold story: Add the writing discipline the Zettelkasten page omits | DONE | 2026-10-07 | 2026-10-07 | Story scaffolding rides this task: documents, sprint wiring, and the scaffold PR. Close it before merging that PR. |
| Add the writing discipline to the Zettelkasten page | DONE | 2026-10-07 | 2026-10-07 | The page says how much a note holds and nothing about what it does with it. Add the thesis discipline, the relation vocabulary, the improbable neighbour and the anti-patterns, and point the knowledge-doc runbook at them. |
5. Decisions
- Add to the existing page rather than start a new one. The page already carries the method, its implementation here, and structure notes; the craft of composing a note is the same topic, and a second page would either duplicate it or need a hub neither would earn.
- The thesis discipline is scoped, not universal. Most pages here are definitions and catalogues, where a topic title is correct; the discipline binds the pages that argue. The source skill has no such distinction, because a personal vault has no reference corpus.
- The four relations are documentation, not a checked field. They describe the prose annotation a See also link already carries, so no schema change and no gate is introduced for them.
6. Out of scope
7. Result
Zettelkasten now states the cognitive half of the method it was missing — a page asserts or it is a reference, the relation vocabulary, who chooses the thread, the improbable neighbour, and the anti-patterns — and the add-a-knowledge-document runbook points at it. The structural half the page already carried is unchanged. Landed with PR #2734.
