PHASE A / SYSTEM BLUEPRINT

System blueprint

A human-led architecture for durable knowledge, bounded orchestration, and evidence-backed work.

IMPLEMENTATION

Make the boundary visible.

Keep authority with the human, durable knowledge in Markdown, retrieval rebuildable, and execution replaceable. Every handoff names its input, output, and verification.

Declare intent

Write the desired outcome, constraints, and acceptance test in plain language.

Map the layers

Assign knowledge, retrieval, procedure, tool, model, and evidence responsibilities.

Bound execution

Grant only the capabilities needed for this task; keep credentials and secrets scoped.

Load approved context

Assemble only the minimal, verified sources needed for the task.

Execute and verify

Follow the procedure, invoke allowed tools, and return evidence for review.

FAILURE MODES

Common pitfalls and mitigations

Bulk-importing raw sessions

Only import curated summaries; never index raw transcripts or chat logs.

Storing secrets in vault

Keep credentials, tokens, and keys in encrypted secret manager, not in notes.

Over-relying on plugins

Ensure a usable plain-Markdown navigation fallback exists.

Copyable public prompt

Design an Obsidian vault structure for [PROJECT]. Use ordinary Markdown, separate canonical notes from inbox and archive material, add minimal metadata, and preserve manual navigation.
Public boundary

Use placeholders for paths, accounts, endpoints, identities, and credentials. Never publish secret values, private records, or a live control surface.

Verification gate

  • Verify scope and inputs
  • Run a focused test
  • Check outputs and evidence
  • Confirm no private data leaked
