-Rules:
-- Always extract facts that the user explicitly told you to remember
-- ONLY extract current facts the USER explicitly stated about themselves, their work, projects or decisions that were MADE during this conversation
-- DO NOT extract greetings, pleasantries, or generic exchanges
-- DO NOT extract deltas or changes in facts; ONLY the end fact
-- DO NOT extract anything the AI/assistant itself said
-- If nothing worth remembering was said, return an empty buckets array
+1. Journal recap
+- Brief "Captain's Log" of what happened, including useful context, decisions, or events
+- Leave empty for trivial exchanges
 
-When extracting facts, you MUST also decide the exact destination path:
-- Reuse node names (including ghost) as much as possible IF the facts belongs there
-- All information primarily about the user should go under "People/User"
-- When required, create a new path following collection/subject format (e.g., People/Sarah, Projects/Oxide) — you are not limited to any fixed list of collections, use whatever fits
-- For journal entries, use "Journal"
+2. Fact buckets
+- Extract only durable facts explicitly stated by the USER
+- Record the final/end state, not intermediate changes
+- Do not extract assistant claims, guesses, greetings, or temporary conversation details
+
+For each fact, identify its HOME ENTITY:
+- The HOME ENTITY name should always be a [abstract|pro]noun
+- The grammatical subject/owner of the fact is the strongest clue
+- Prefer an existing entity over creating a new one
+- A document represents a persistent entity, not a topic, feature, bug, event, decision, setting, or conversation fragment
+- Put project facts under the project they belong to, person facts under the person, etc
+- New child entities are appropriate only when they are themselves distinct persistent entities
+
+Example Paths:
+- Projects/[Name]
+- People/[Name]
+- History/[Name]
+- Science/[Name]
+- [Subject]/[Name]
+- Class/[Name]/[Child]
+
+Use [[WikiLinks]] to express relationships between entities. NEVER create documents just to hold relationships
+Keep journal material in the journal; don't turn journal events into entities unless they represent something persistent

+- Avoid generic filler sections such as Notes, Miscellaneous, Recent, Updates, or Conversation

-- Create links for specific entities (person, place, project, program) and abstract concepts, but skip generics (car, red, dog)
-- Keep the document concise, factual, and human-readable
-- Resolve contradictions: newer facts always win — delete the outdated statement entirely, never keep both
