5 Core Files that power the CMDSPACE PKM ecosystem — designed for both AI agents and human users.
Audience-based separation ensures both AI agents and human users get exactly the guidance they need — no more, no less.
Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, and Cursor don't know your folder structure, naming conventions, or workflows. CMDS.md, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md give each AI agent precisely the context it needs to work without breaking existing patterns.
Even the creator of a knowledge system forgets conventions over time. CMDS Head Quarter and CMDS Guide serve as living documentation — a single source of truth for how the system works, what goes where, and why.
AI documents are loaded into context windows. Human documents provide quick daily reference. The 5-file split creates a clean bridge between human understanding and AI capabilities without duplication.
A 7,660+ note knowledge base without documentation becomes chaos. With clear system files, you can onboard new AI tools, maintain consistency across years of notes, and evolve the system without losing its foundation.
5 system files with structured frontmatter — each with description, audience, and scope fields that define its role.
Every system file carries structured YAML frontmatter with description, audience, and scope — making each file self-documenting.
9 major categories (100-900 series) organized by the CMDS Process — Connect, Merge, Develop, Share.
The knowledge lifecycle that guides information through four distinct stages, each with dedicated categories.
