m3tm3re 325e06ad12 Complete Phase 1: Work integration (all tasks)
Documentation Added:
- skills/chiron-core/references/work-para-structure.md: Complete work PARA guide
- skills/chiron-core/references/work-quickstart.md: User quick start guide

What Was Completed:
1.  Created outline skill with full MCP integration
2.  Enhanced basecamp skill with project mapping
3.  Enhanced daily-routines with work context
4.  Created Teams transcript workflow guide
5.  Set up PARA work structure (10 projects + 5 areas)
6.  Created comprehensive documentation

Integration Ready:
- Basecamp ↔ Obsidian: Project mapping and task sync
- Outline ↔ Obsidian: Wiki search, export, AI queries
- Teams → Obsidian → Basecamp: Transcript processing workflow
- All integrated into daily/weekly routines

PARA Work Structure:
- 01-projects/work/: 10 project folders (placeholders ready for customization)
- 02-areas/work/: 5 ongoing areas
- 03-resources/work/wiki-mirror/: Ready for Outline exports
- 04-archive/work/: Ready for completed work

Next Steps for User:
1. Customize project names with actual Basecamp projects
2. Configure Outline MCP with your instance
3. Test Basecamp connection
4. Process first Teams transcript using workflow
5. Add n8n workflows when ready (automate Basecamp/Outline sync)

Note: All work knowledge stored in Obsidian (tool-agnostic).
Jobs easily portable: archive work/, update tool configs, create new projects.

Integration Points

Basecamp Integration

  • Skill: basecamp (MCP)
  • Mapping: See Basecamp project IDs → PARA paths
  • Sync: Manual sync via skill or future n8n automation
  • Status Check: "What's in [project]?" → Basecamp

Outline Wiki Integration

  • Skill: outline (MCP)
  • Live Search: "Search Outline for [topic]"
  • Export: "Export [document] to Obsidian"
  • Location: 03-resources/work/wiki-mirror/

Teams Meeting Integration

  • Skill: meeting-notes
  • Workflow: DOCX → AI analysis → meeting note → Basecamp sync
  • Location: 01-projects/work/[project]/meetings/
  • Guide: See skills/meeting-notes/references/teams-transcript-workflow.md

Workflows

Morning Planning with Work Context

1. Read yesterday's daily note
2. Check Basecamp: "Show my Basecamp todos due today"
3. Check Outline: "Search Outline for [project topic]"
4. Create integrated morning plan with:
   - Work priorities (from Basecamp)
   - Personal priorities (from PARA)
   - Meeting schedule
   - Deep work blocks

Evening Reflection with Work Context

1. Review completed Basecamp tasks
2. Review project progress
3. Capture work learnings
4. Export decisions to Outline (if applicable)
5. Plan tomorrow's work priorities

Weekly Review with Work

1. Check all Basecamp project status
2. Review work area health
3. Identify at-risk projects
4. Plan next week's priorities
5. Process work inbox

Job Transition Checklist

When switching jobs:

  1. Archive Current Work:

    • Move 01-projects/work/04-archive/work/[old-company]/
    • Move 02-areas/work/04-archive/work/[old-company]/
    • Keep 03-resources/work/wiki-mirror/ (company knowledge)
  2. Update Tool Configurations:

    • Basecamp: Remove old projects, add new ones
    • Outline: Update collections (if switching wikis)
    • Keep work structure intact
  3. Create New Work Structure:

    • Create new 01-projects/work/ folders
    • Update 02-areas/work/ areas
    • Preserve PARA methodology

Quick Commands

Action Command
