Five files across four note types so every new Obsidian Base has something to display immediately when the vault is opened: - daily/2026-04-19.md — today's journal entry, covering the PKB setup work. Wikilinks to the permanent note, project brief, and reading note below. - notes/pkb-as-lens-substrate.md — the load-bearing design note capturing the PKB-as-substrate / Council-as-lens inversion that drove this whole extension. - projects/mql/brief.md and log.md — active project tracking the companion Markdown-Query-Language CLI (sibling repo). First log entry records the Go-over-Rust decision and v0.1 scope. - reading/audiopen-integration-research.md — marked done; captures the two-clouds distinction (AudioPen's processing cloud unavoidable; Obsidian Sync optional) and names Tailscale Funnel as the chosen webhook-exposure path. - inbox/2026-04-19-1900_test-ingestion.md — hand-authored fleeting note (source: manual, distinguishable from AudioPen drops) so /triage-inbox has something to exercise on before the real voice pipeline is running.

Council
A Claude Code deliberation system with a persistent memory layer, browsable as an Obsidian vault.
You pose a question; a council of ten distinct personas (plus a Researcher and a Scribe) deliberates through a structured five-phase workflow, produces a voting table, and hands you the winning answer. Every session leaves a full transcript and persistent memory behind.
Quick start
Inside the repo in Claude Code:
/council <your question>
The Moderator (the main Claude Code session) will interview you briefly for context, then kick off the Council. You'll be asked follow-up questions along the way — to clarify the brief, resolve research gaps, or break vote ties. At the end you get a voting table and the full winning answer; everything is archived to sessions/<slug>/.
The Council
10 voting members, wild eclectic mix:
- Elif Tavşan — retired stage magician & cold-reading coach
- Dr. Wren Okafor — deep-sea marine biologist → systems ecologist
- Magnus Holt — bankruptcy lawyer → insolvency-law lecturer
- Sister Beatrix Vale — Benedictine nun → hospice counselor
- Nikolai "Niko" Prochazka — Soviet cosmonaut trainer → wilderness survival instructor
- Dr. Ingrid Vaasa — theoretical physicist (QFT) → independent researcher
- Kai "Breaker" Lindholm — pro skateboarder → skatepark architect
- Cassian Vire — investigative journalist → speculative-fiction novelist
- Marcelo "Marco" Tintori — trained painter → 20 years as a corrections officer
- Mari Koskela — marine engineer on cargo ships → anthropologist of maritime labor
Plus two non-voting roles:
- Naima Quéré (Researcher) — the only sub-agent with web access.
- Ansel Voss (Scribe) — transcribes proceedings and writes session files.
