---
## Getting Started
The Knowledge Module provides a flexible way to capture and organize information:
- **Markdown-based**: Write entries using Markdown for rich formatting
- **Wiki-style linking**: Connect entries using `[[wiki-links]]`
- **Tag-based organization**: Categorize entries with tags
- **Full version history**: Every edit is tracked and recoverable
- **Powerful search**: Find entries with full-text search
- **Visual knowledge graph**: See relationships between entries
- **Import/Export**: Bulk import/export for portability
### Entry Lifecycle
Each knowledge entry has three possible statuses:
- **DRAFT** — Entry is being worked on, visible only to you
- **PUBLISHED** — Entry is complete and visible to workspace members
- **ARCHIVED** — Entry is hidden from normal views but preserved
And three visibility levels:
- **PRIVATE** — Only visible to you
- **WORKSPACE** — Visible to all workspace members
- **PUBLIC** — Visible to anyone (future feature)
---
## Creating Entries
### Basic Entry Creation
Every entry has:
- **Title** (required) — The entry name (up to 500 characters)
- **Content** (required) — Markdown-formatted text
- **Summary** (optional) — Brief description (up to 1000 characters)
- **Tags** (optional) — Categories for organization
- **Status** — DRAFT, PUBLISHED, or ARCHIVED
- **Visibility** — PRIVATE, WORKSPACE, or PUBLIC
### Slugs
When you create an entry, the system automatically generates a unique **slug** from the title:
- `"My First Entry"``my-first-entry`
- `"API Design Patterns"``api-design-patterns`
- `"React Hooks Guide"``react-hooks-guide`
Slugs are used in URLs and wiki-links. They're unique per workspace.
### Example Entry
```markdown
Title: React Component Patterns
Content:
## Component Composition
React components can be composed using several patterns:
### Container/Presentational Pattern
Separate data logic (containers) from UI (presentational).
See also: [[React Hooks]], [[State Management]]
Tags: react, frontend, patterns
```
### Change Notes
When creating or updating entries, you can add an optional **change note** to describe what you changed:
```
"Added section on custom hooks"
"Fixed typo in code example"
"Initial draft"
```
Change notes appear in version history, making it easy to track why changes were made.
---
## Wiki-links and Backlinks
### Creating Links
Link to other entries using **wiki-link syntax**:
```markdown
[[Entry Title]]
[[entry-slug]]
[[Entry Title|Custom Link Text]]
```
Examples:
```markdown
For more details, see [[API Documentation]].
Learn about [[react-hooks|React Hooks]].
Related: [[Frontend Best Practices]], [[TypeScript Guide]]
```
### How Wiki-links Work
1. **Automatic resolution**: The system finds the target entry by slug or title
2. **Smart matching**: Links work with slugs (`react-hooks`) or titles (`React Hooks`)
3. **Custom text**: Use `[[slug|display text]]` for custom link text
4. **Auto-linking**: Links are parsed and resolved when you save the entry
### Unresolved Links
If you link to an entry that doesn't exist yet, it's marked as **unresolved**:
```markdown
[[Future Entry That Doesn't Exist Yet]]
```
Unresolved links:
- Are still stored and tracked
- Will automatically resolve when the target entry is created
- Show as unlinked in the UI (implementation-specific)
This lets you create links before creating the entries they point to!
### Backlinks
Every entry automatically tracks its **backlinks** — entries that link _to_ it.
**Example**: If entry "React Hooks" is linked from:
- "Frontend Guide"
- "Component Patterns"
- "State Management"
Then "React Hooks" will show 3 backlinks.
**Use backlinks to:**
- Discover related content
- Understand entry relationships
- Navigate bidirectionally through knowledge
Access backlinks via: `GET /api/knowledge/entries/:slug/backlinks`
---
## Tags and Organization
### Creating Tags
Tags help categorize and organize entries. Create tags with:
- **Name** (required) — Display name (e.g., "Frontend Development")
- **Slug** (auto-generated) — URL-friendly identifier (e.g., "frontend-development")
- **Color** (optional) — Hex color for visual organization (e.g., "#3b82f6")
- **Description** (optional) — Tag purpose or usage notes
### Tagging Entries
Add tags when creating or updating entries:
```json
{
"title": "React Component Guide",
"content": "...",
"tags": ["react", "frontend", "tutorial"]
}
```
### Finding Tagged Entries
Search for entries with specific tags:
```
GET /api/knowledge/search/by-tags?tags=react,frontend
```
This finds entries that have **ALL** specified tags (AND logic).
### Tag Management
- **List all tags**: `GET /api/knowledge/tags`
- **Get tag details**: `GET /api/knowledge/tags/:slug`
- **Get tagged entries**: `GET /api/knowledge/tags/:slug/entries`
- **Update tag**: `PUT /api/knowledge/tags/:slug`
- **Delete tag**: `DELETE /api/knowledge/tags/:slug` (admin only)
Deleting a tag removes it from all entries but doesn't delete the entries themselves.
---
## Search
The Knowledge Module provides powerful search capabilities:
### Full-Text Search
Search across entry titles and content with relevance ranking:
```
GET /api/knowledge/search?q=react hooks&page=1&limit=20
```
**Features:**
- Searches **title** and **content** fields
- Relevance ranking (best matches first)
- Case-insensitive
- Partial word matching
- Pagination support
**Query parameters:**
- `q` (required) — Search query string
- `status` (optional) — Filter by status (DRAFT, PUBLISHED, ARCHIVED)
- `page` (default: 1) — Page number
- `limit` (default: 20, max: 100) — Results per page
### Tag-Based Search
Find entries with specific tags:
```
GET /api/knowledge/search/by-tags?tags=react,typescript
```
Returns entries that have **ALL** specified tags.
### Recent Entries
Get recently modified entries:
```
GET /api/knowledge/search/recent?limit=10&status=PUBLISHED
```
**Parameters:**
- `limit` (default: 10, max: 50) — Number of entries
- `status` (optional) — Filter by status
Perfect for "what's new" or "recently updated" views.
### Combining Filters
All search endpoints support status filtering:
- `status=DRAFT` — Only draft entries
- `status=PUBLISHED` — Only published entries
- `status=ARCHIVED` — Only archived entries
- (no status) — All statuses
---
## Import/Export
### Exporting Entries
Export your knowledge base for backup or migration:
```
GET /api/knowledge/export?format=markdown
```
**Export formats:**
1. **Markdown** (default)
- Each entry saved as `.md` file
- Filename: `{slug}.md`
- Front matter with metadata (title, tags, status, etc.)
- Returns `.zip` archive
2. **JSON**
- Structured JSON format
- Complete entry data including metadata
- Returns `.zip` archive
**Export specific entries:**
```
GET /api/knowledge/export?format=markdown&entryIds[]=uuid1&entryIds[]=uuid2
```
If `entryIds` is omitted, exports **all entries** in the workspace.
**Example Markdown export:**
```markdown

slug: react-hooks-guide
title: React Hooks Guide
status: PUBLISHED
visibility: WORKSPACE
tags: react, frontend
createdAt: 2024-01-29T10:00:00Z
updatedAt: 2024-01-30T15:30:00Z

# React Hooks Guide
Content goes here...
[[Related Entry]]
```
### Importing Entries
Import entries from `.md` or `.zip` files:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/knowledge/import \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "x-workspace-id: WORKSPACE_ID" \
-F "file=@knowledge-export.zip"
```
**Supported formats:**
1. **Single Markdown file** (`.md`)
- Creates one entry
- Reads front matter for metadata
- Generates slug from filename if not in front matter
2. **Zip archive** (`.zip`)
- Multiple `.md` files
- Each file becomes one entry
- Front matter optional
**Import behavior:**
- **New entries**: Creates with status DRAFT
- **Existing entries** (matching slug): Skipped (does not overwrite)
- **Wiki-links**: Preserved and will resolve if targets exist
- **Tags**: Created if they don't exist
- **Validation**: Invalid entries are skipped with error details
**Response:**
```json
{
"success": true,
"totalFiles": 10,
"imported": 8,
"failed": 2,
"results": [
{
"filename": "react-hooks.md",
"success": true,
"entryId": "uuid",
"slug": "react-hooks"
},
{
"filename": "invalid-entry.md",
"success": false,
"error": "Title is required"
}
]
}
```
### File Size Limits
- Maximum file size: **50MB**
- Accepted file types: `.md`, `.zip`
---
## Version History
Every edit to a knowledge entry is automatically saved as a **version**. You can view history, compare changes, and restore previous versions.
### How Versioning Works
- **Automatic versioning**: Every update creates a new version
- **Version numbers**: Auto-incremented (1, 2, 3, ...)
- **What's tracked**: Title, content, summary
- **Change notes**: Optional message describing the change
- **Author tracking**: Who made each change
- **Timestamps**: When each version was created
### Viewing Version History
**List all versions for an entry:**
```
GET /api/knowledge/entries/:slug/versions?page=1&limit=20
```
Returns paginated list of versions with:
- Version number
- Title
- Summary
- Change note
- Author info
- Timestamp
**Get a specific version:**
```
GET /api/knowledge/entries/:slug/versions/:version
```
Returns the complete entry as it existed at that version:
- Title
- Content
- Summary
- Change note
- Author
- Created timestamp
### Restoring a Previous Version
Restore an entry to a previous version:
```
POST /api/knowledge/entries/:slug/restore/:version
Body: { "changeNote": "Restored version 5" }
```
**What happens:**
1. Creates a **new version** with content from the specified version
2. The change note is required to document why you restored
3. Original versions remain intact (no data loss)
4. Version numbers continue incrementing (no rewriting history)
**Example:**
- Current version: 10
- Restore version 5
- New version created: 11 (with content from version 5)
### Best Practices
- **Write meaningful change notes**: "Added examples" is better than "Updated"
- **Review before publishing**: Keep entries in DRAFT while iterating
- **Restore carefully**: Preview the old version before restoring
- **Use versions for comparison**: See how entries evolved over time

## Graph Visualization
The Knowledge Module includes a powerful **graph visualization** feature (currently available via service layer, REST endpoint coming soon).
### How the Graph Works
The knowledge graph represents:
- **Nodes**: Knowledge entries
- **Edges**: Wiki-links between entries
- **Relationships**: Bidirectional (incoming and outgoing links)
- **Depth traversal**: Explore connections up to N levels deep
### Entry-Centered Graph
Get a graph view centered on a specific entry:
```typescript
// Service layer (REST endpoint coming soon)
const graph = await graphService.getEntryGraph(
workspaceId,
entryId,
maxDepth // default: 1
);
```
**Response structure:**
```typescript
{
centerNode: {
id: "uuid",
slug: "react-hooks",
title: "React Hooks Guide",
summary: "Comprehensive guide to React Hooks",
tags: [
{ id: "uuid", name: "React", slug: "react", color: "#61dafb" }
],
depth: 0
},
nodes: [
// All connected entries up to maxDepth
{ id: "uuid", slug: "...", title: "...", depth: 1 },
{ id: "uuid", slug: "...", title: "...", depth: 2 }
],
edges: [
{
id: "uuid",
sourceId: "entry1-uuid",
targetId: "entry2-uuid",
linkText: "React Hooks"
}
],
stats: {
totalNodes: 15,
totalEdges: 22,
maxDepth: 2
}
}
```
### Graph Properties
- **Depth 0**: Just the center node (no connections)
- **Depth 1**: Center node + directly connected entries
- **Depth 2**: Depth 1 + entries connected to depth 1 nodes
- **Depth N**: Continue expanding N levels
**Node information:**
- Entry metadata (slug, title, summary)
- Tags with colors
- Depth level from center
**Edge information:**
- Source and target entry IDs
- Original link text from the markdown
- Unique link identifier
### Use Cases
- **Discover connections**: Find related entries
- **Visualize knowledge structure**: See how concepts relate
- **Navigate bidirectionally**: Follow links in both directions
- **Cluster analysis**: Identify knowledge hubs (highly connected entries)
- **Content gap analysis**: Find isolated entries needing more connections
### Performance & Caching
Graph queries are **cached** for performance:
- **Cache key**: `workspace:entry:depth`
- **TTL**: 5 minutes (configurable)
- **Invalidation**: Automatic on entry or link updates
Large graphs (depth > 2) can be expensive. The cache ensures fast repeat access.

## Tips & Best Practices
### Content Organization
1. **Start with outlines**: Create stub entries, fill in later
2. **Link early and often**: Wiki-links are cheap, use them liberally
3. **Tag consistently**: Establish a tag taxonomy early
4. **Write summaries**: Help future-you find content faster
5. **Use DRAFT status**: Iterate privately before publishing
### Naming Conventions
- **Titles**: Clear, descriptive, unique
- **Slugs**: Auto-generated, don't worry about them
- **Tags**: Short, lowercase, consistent naming (e.g., `react` not `React` or `ReactJS`)
### Knowledge Graph Health
- **Avoid orphans**: Link new entries to existing content
- **Create hubs**: Some entries naturally become central (index pages)
- **Bidirectional linking**: Link both ways when relationships are mutual
- **Tag hubs**: Use tags for broad categories, links for specific relationships
### Workflow Patterns
**Personal Wiki:**
```
Draft → Link → Tag → Publish → Iterate
```
**Team Knowledge Base:**
```
Draft → Review → Link → Tag → Publish → Maintain
```
**Research Notes:**
```
Capture → Organize → Synthesize → Link → Archive
```
