people-notes

A skill for preparing, creating, or maintaining person notes in Nathan's Brain, a personal knowledge vault.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gather context about a person, create their main note, reconcile newer information, and clean up links when appropriate.
Why use it?
It keeps information about people in a consistent canonical note and checks related records before making changes. It also avoids creating a note when the person cannot be identified reliably.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

people-notes scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

People notes

Prepare task-specific context from person notes and their linked records. Create or maintain a note only when the task calls for a vault change.

1. Choose the branch

Read the vault's AGENTS.md, then choose one branch from the user's task:

  • Use — prepare context for work involving a person. This is the read-only default.
  • Create — make a canonical person note when the user asks for one or the agreed vault task requires it.
  • Maintain — reconcile an existing person note with newer evidence or requested corrections.

Link cleanup supports create and maintain; it is not a separate branch. A passing reference does not authorize note creation.

This step is complete when one branch is selected and the permitted read/write scope is clear.

2. Resolve the person

Search 04-Entities/ case-insensitively by canonical title and aliases. Treat body mentions and linked records as identity clues; a canonical note exists only when its title or aliases resolve the person.

Use relationship, organization, location, and source context to distinguish name variants or collisions. When two people share a full name, use a stable title qualifier such as Jordan Lee (Design) and display links such as [[Jordan Lee (Design)|Jordan Lee]].

This step is complete when one canonical note is identified, absence is confirmed, or unresolved candidates are reported.

3. Gather evidence

Start with the current conversation, the person note, and the records surfaced by ![[Related.base#Person]]. Read the recent records relevant to the task rather than dumping every backlink.

Reach beyond the vault only when the task needs more context or a freshness check. Granola meetings, Gmail threads, and verified public profiles are optional evidence sources. Continue with available evidence and report unavailable sources.

Track what each source establishes, its date, and any uncertainty. Treat Nathan's uncertainty as data; qualify or omit claims rather than resolving them by inference.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

people-notes is a skill published in the GitHub repository nweii/agent-stuff (8 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,519 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
