Knowledge vault (Orion/PARA) migrated from the pre-Orion 484vault on

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.
