Integrations

Overview

About

This folder contains integration landing zones for external tools and automated imports. Each subfolder serves as a stable entry point for a specific tool or service, where raw artifacts arrive before being processed into atomic notes.

Architecture Philosophy

Why Not INBOX?

The 00-INBOX/ folder is designed for manual quick capture—fleeting thoughts and one-off notes that you create. Integration folders serve a different purpose:

The Integration Pattern

External Source → Plugin/Tool → Integration Folder → Processing → Atomic Notes
     ↓                              ↓                    ↓
 (Perplexity)        (04-RESOURCES/Integrations/Chats/)  (01-SLIPBOX/)
 (Readwise)          (04-RESOURCES/Integrations/Readwise/) (04-RESOURCES/Definitions/)
 (Web Clipper)       (04-RESOURCES/Integrations/Clippings/)

Integration Folders

Configuration Reference

Plugin Target Paths

Configure your plugins to use these stable paths:

# Nexus AI Chat Importer
target_folder: "04-RESOURCES/Integrations/Chats/"
 
# Obsidian Web Clipper
clippings_folder: "04-RESOURCES/Integrations/Clippings/"
 
# Readwise Official
base_folder: "04-RESOURCES/Integrations/Readwise/"
 
# Medium Importer
import_folder: "04-RESOURCES/Integrations/Medium/"
 
# Zotero Integration
literature_notes_folder: "04-RESOURCES/Integrations/Zotero/"

Processing Workflow

All integration folders follow a similar processing pattern:

1. Arrival

Raw artifacts land in the integration folder via automated import or manual placement.

2. Review

Periodically review new items (daily/weekly):

• Scan for high-value content
• Mark items for extraction
• Archive low-value items

3. Extract

Create atomic notes from valuable content:

• Use appropriate templates (Definition, Code, Guide, etc.)
• Link back to source artifact via source_* frontmatter fields
• Place in permanent locations (01-SLIPBOX/, 04-RESOURCES/)

4. Update Source

After extraction:

• Update extraction status in source artifact
• Add links to extracted notes
• Optionally move to 99-ARCHIVES/

Adding New Integrations

When adding a new external tool:

1. Create subfolder: 04-RESOURCES/Integrations/{ToolName}/
2. Add index.md with:
   • Tool description
   • Plugin configuration
   • Processing workflow
   • Dataview queries
3. Create template if needed: 05-SYSTEM/Templates/Template-{Type}.md
4. Configure plugin to use the stable path
5. Update this index
