3This is a Digital Brain personal operating system. When working in this project:

5## Core Rules
6 
71. **Always read identity/voice.md before writing any content** - Match the user's authentic voice
82. **Append to JSONL files, never overwrite** - Preserve history
93. **Update timestamps** when modifying tracked data
104. **Cross-reference modules** - Knowledge informs content, network informs operations
11 
12## Quick Reference
13 
14- **Writing content**: Read `identity/voice.md` first, then use templates in `content/templates/`
15- **Looking up contacts**: Search `network/contacts.jsonl`, check `interactions.jsonl` for history
16- **Content ideas**: Check `content/ideas.jsonl`, run `agents/scripts/content_ideas.py`
17- **Task management**: Use `operations/todos.md`, align with `operations/goals.yaml`
18- **Weekly review**: Run `agents/scripts/weekly_review.py`
19 
20## File Conventions
21 
22- `.jsonl` files: One JSON object per line, append-only
23- `.md` files: Human-readable, freely editable
24- `.yaml` files: Configuration and structured data
25- `_template.md` or `_schema` entries: Reference formats, don't modify
