Orion vault — clean initial history

Knowledge vault (Orion/PARA) migrated from the pre-Orion 484vault on
2026-10-01. Deliberately orphaned: prior history contained a plaintext
password and stays local-only on branch archive/pre-boilerplate-history.
Secrets and live Hermes state are gitignored.

+There are no formal "commands" — these are trigger phrases. When you say something that matches a skill's trigger, I load that skill and follow its playbook. Here's what's set up on your machine:
+
+**Your personal automations (say the phrase, I do the workflow):**
+
+| You say | What happens |
+|---|---|
+| **"add movie"** | Asks section + checkbox, adds formatted entry to Moivault |
+| **"process receipts"** / send receipt photos | Yes — receipts exist! Full intake: vision-read the photos, dedupe, rename, move into KCH/L484 folders, log rows with hyperlinks into `00_Expenses_KCH.ods` / `00_EXPENSES_Lab484.ods` (asks which system(s) first) |
+| **"add expense" / edit an .ods sheet** | Lossless in-place sheet edits with backup + verification |
+
+**Other recurring workflows that trigger by describing the task:**
+- **"weekly review"** — reset commitments, stalled work, next-week plan
+- **meeting notes → action items** — paste notes, get cited decisions/owners
+- **"watch this product's price"** — price monitor with target alert
+- **"what's on HN / reddit / this RSS feed"** — reads feeds, no browser
+- **"check my email / triage inbox"** — Himalaya email from terminal
+- **"find my files across drives"** — drive inventory + backup scripts
+- **"turn this transcript into a blog/summary"** — YouTube/transcript content
+- **Obsidian vault** — "note this in my vault" reads/writes Orion
+
+**Plus the utility ones:** pdf merge/fill, xlsx/docx/pptx creation, arxiv search, GIF search, infographics, diagrams, TTS.
+
+Two things to know:
+1. Anything works even if it's not listed — just describe the task.
+2. If you want a *new* one-shot command (like "add movie" but for something else — e.g. "add book", "log mileage"), tell me the workflow once, and I'll save it as a skill so the phrase works forever after.
