📖 Pages — reading intelligence

Data

Base path is workspace root or document root folder. On first use, create it: mkdir -p mind/pages/. Pages uses a mind/pages/ folder in your workspace.

Files live in mind/pages/. Organised by reading status:

mind/
└── pages/
    ├── pagesconfig.yml
    ├── read/        ← finished
    ├── reading/     ← currently reading
    └── want/        ← want to read

File names: <author-lastname>-<title-slug>.md. Example: taleb-antifragile.md. For books with no clear author (anthologies, edited volumes): use the title slug.

Dataset Config — pagesconfig.yml

pagesconfig.yml lives inside the mind/pages/ directory. Read it at the start of any session involving this skill.

images: no (by default no, ask if you human want to feach images for pepople, warn that it is token expensive)

## Notes

12 Feb 2026: key insight, what changed your mind, what you'd tell someone else

## Quotes

> "The wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire."
> — p. 61

Field guidance:

Tags: 2–4 themes, domains, or moods. Use tags you'll actually search: #ai not #artificial-intelligence, #startups not #entrepreneurship. Keep it personal. Recommended by: if Peeps is installed, use [[their-slug]]; otherwise note the person's name as plain text. Creates a bidirectional trail when Peeps is present. Notes: dated insight log, not a summary. What this book changed, challenged, or confirmed. "Good book" is not a note. Quotes: only the lines worth keeping. One good quote beats ten mediocre ones.

The want/ folder: lightweight. Just title, author, and a one-line Why: note on why it's on your list. Add more once you start reading.

Saving a Book

1. Search the web (title + author) — confirm full author name, publication year.
2. Determine folder — which folder to save to: read/, reading/, or want/.
3. Ask as a group (skip anything already clear):

- If read: rating and finished date? - Tags — what's this book about, in your words? - Any quotes or notes to capture right now? - Who recommended it? 4. if images: yes in mind/pagesconfig.yml search for a conver image and add it to Image: feild

Show a brief confirmation: "Saved — *Antifragile* by Nassim Taleb, 2012, in read/. Tagged #philosophy #risk #systems."

Core Behavior

• User mentions a book → check if saved, offer to create or update
• User asks "what have I read about X?" → search mind/pages/ with expanded keywords
• User finishes a book → ask for a rating and a note
• User mentions someone recommending a book → save with Recommended by:; if Peeps is installed, optionally add a note to their Peeps file
• User shares a quote → append to the book file with today's date
• Conversation touches a theme → surface relevant reads contextually without being asked

Examples:

• "Just finished Thinking, Fast and Slow" → check if saved, offer to rate and note
• "I need to think about decision-making under pressure" → "You read *Thinking, Fast and Slow* in 2024 and tagged it #decision-making — your note says it reframed how you think about bias"
• "Priya said I should read *The Mom Test*" → save to mind/pages/want/ with Recommended by: [[priya-nair]] if Peeps is installed, otherwise note her name as plain text

Finding Books

Use grep with expanded terms. Always broaden the query before searching.

# Books on a topic
grep -ril "decision\|bias\|judgement\|psychology" mind/pages/

# Highly-rated reads
grep -rl "Rating: 5" mind/pages/read/

# Books recommended by a specific person
grep -rl "\[\[priya" mind/pages/

# Currently reading
ls mind/pages/reading/

# Books with captured quotes
grep -rl "^>" mind/pages/

Keyword expansion examples:

• "business" → business\|strategy\|management\|leadership\|startup\|founder
• "productivity" → productivity\|focus\|habits\|deep.work\|flow\|systems
• "tech / AI" → ai\|machine.learning\|software\|internet\|tech\|silicon
• "philosophy" → philosophy\|stoic\|ethics\|meaning\|existence\|wisdom

Always read the full book file after grepping — matched tags are a signal, not the full picture.

Heartbeat or cron

Check a random book file. Surface something worth mentioning:

• "You finished *Antifragile* three months ago and never rated it — worth a quick reflection?"
• "You added *The Mom Test* to your want list in January — still on your radar?"
• "Priya and you have both tagged #systems — you might be reading similar things."

If nothing worth mentioning, skip.

Adding to HEARTBEAT.md or cron

If it is not there yet, ask your human if they want to add Pages: check to HEARTBEAT.md. If there is no HEARTBEAT.md, suggest to create a cron every 30 minutes during waking hours (*/30 7-22 * * *) to execute Pages: check.

Config — pagesconfig.yml

Optional. Lives inside mind/pages/.

owner: jane-smith  # your Peeps slug — used for cross-referencing shared reads

If Peeps is installed and peepsconfig.yml exists, owner is inferred automatically — no need to duplicate.

Integration with Peeps

If Peeps is installed, books and people can be connected:

Recommended by: [[their-slug]] in the book file — who pointed you at this

• Optionally add a note in their Peeps file: "Recommended *Book Title* (Mar 2026)"
• When the conversation involves a person and a relevant read comes up, surface it: "You and Marco both read *Zero to One* — his note is that Thiel's distribution thinking changed how he pitches."

Integration with Haah

If Haah is installed, dispatch to your circles when your reading list is thin on a topic:

• "Haah: anyone in my circles with strong reads on climate tech?"

When someone in your circle asks for book recommendations:

• Check Pages for relevant reads before answering
• Draft a reply with your actual read + rating + one sentence of context. Don't recommend books you haven't read.

What NOT to Suggest

• Syncing with Goodreads or Amazon — different purpose, keep private
• Automatically importing your entire reading history — build it naturally over time
• Rating every book — only rate when you have something to say
• Summaries or book reports — this is a memory layer, not a study tool
• Adding books to others' want lists on their behalf — your list, your choices
