Vault Notes

Vault Notes is the cockpit’s primary memory capture surface. Every note is encrypted at rest, indexed for search, and tagged for cross-module recall.

Templates

When you create a new note, the cockpit offers six templates:

  • Blank — plain markdown
  • Briefing — structured pre-action briefing (objective, constraints, success criteria)
  • Checklist — runnable checklist with checkbox state
  • Runbook — operational runbook with prerequisites, steps, rollback
  • Inventory — itemized inventory with optional metadata
  • BioMedical — structured medical/biological reference template

Capture flow

The fastest capture path: open Vault Notes, hit New, pick a template, type. The note saves continuously into the encrypted vault. There is no “publish” step.

Tags

Tags are the primary recall surface. Use #kebab-case tags inline or via the tag field. The tag system is flat — no nesting — by design. A note tagged #reference #telephony #calling-codes surfaces from any of those filters.

Pin

Pinning a note keeps it at the top of the list across sessions. Pinned notes also appear on the Overview surface.

Edit vs Preview

The note view toggles between Edit and Preview. Preview renders the markdown with code-block syntax highlighting and table formatting. Edit shows raw markdown with no extra chrome.

Reference example

A typical reference note — say, “International Calling Codes Reference” — would be tagged #reference #telephony #calling-codes and contain markdown like:

# International Calling Codes Reference


## NANP / +1
- United States / Canada / Caribbean NANP regions: +1


## Europe
- United Kingdom: +44
- Ireland: +353
- France: +33
- Germany: +49

This note would surface from the reference, telephony, or calling-codes tag filters, and from any free-text search across the vault.
