Methodology / Operating model
Vault-first Operating Model
A framework for keeping Markdown, schema, validation, provenance, and human-readable context as the durable source of truth.
Markdown→System→Schema→Validate→Provenance→Use
How it works
Capture in Markdown, structure through system folders and schema.yaml, validate before trusting, and keep caches clearly downstream of the vault.
This overlaps with Systems, but the methodology is the decision rule: source-of-truth first, cache/tool second.
