Brain Organizer

⛔ MANDATORY workflow for Archon Brain canvas system. AI MUST follow EXACTLY or canvas will NOT work.

📄 General Document Reference: Docs/Index/BRAIN_FORMAT.md AI tools without skill system can also create Brain canvas by referencing the above document.

🚫 STOP! READ BEFORE ANY FILE OPERATIONS

DO NOT CREATE ANY FILES until you have:

1. ✅ Read and understood the Blocking Rules below
2. ✅ Calculated the exact

   fileName

   from canvas name
3. ✅ Verified ALL folder names will match

   fileName

4. ✅ Planned node positions using Grid Layout (no overlap!)

If you skip these steps, the canvas WILL BE BROKEN and show "0 nodes" in Archon app.

⛔ BLOCKING RULE #1: fileName (ZERO TOLERANCE)

If canvas

name:

fileName Generation Algorithm (Archon App Internal Logic)

// This is EXACTLY how Archon app generates fileName from name
var fileName: String {
    name.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "-")  // 1. Space → Hyphen
        .lowercased()                               // 2. Lowercase
        .filter { $0.isLetter || $0.isNumber || $0 == "-" }  // 3. Keep only letters/numbers/hyphens
}

Transformation Examples:

name:

"My Canvas"

my-canvas

"Aesthetic Canvas: Minimal Diary"

aesthetic-canvas-minimal-diary

"UI Design (v2)"

ui-design-v2

Folder Naming Rule (MUST MATCH fileName)

Canvas file:    {fileName}.md
Nodes folder:   {fileName}_Nodes/
Connections:    {fileName}_Connections/
Datasheet:      {fileName}_Datasheet/

✅ CORRECT Example

# Canvas file: aesthetic-minimal-diary.md
name: "Aesthetic Minimal Diary"  # fileName = aesthetic-minimal-diary

Docs/Brain/
├── aesthetic-minimal-diary.md
├── aesthetic-minimal-diary_Nodes/      ✅ MATCH
├── aesthetic-minimal-diary_Connections/
└── aesthetic-minimal-diary_Datasheet/

❌ WRONG Example (App shows 0 nodes)

# Canvas file: aesthetic-minimal-diary-brain.md
name: "Aesthetic Canvas: Minimal Diary Brain"
# fileName = aesthetic-canvas-minimal-diary-brain (colon removed!)

Docs/Brain/
├── aesthetic-minimal-diary-brain.md
├── aesthetic-minimal-diary-brain_Nodes/  ❌ MISMATCH!
│   # App looks for: aesthetic-canvas-minimal-diary-brain_Nodes

Pre-Creation Checklist (MANDATORY)

Before creating ANY files, verify:

1. Calculate fileName from

   name:

   value using the algorithm above
2. Canvas file =

   {fileName}.md

3. Nodes folder =

   {fileName}_Nodes/

4. Connections folder =

   {fileName}_Connections/

5. Datasheet folder =

   {fileName}_Datasheet/

6. ALL folder names EXACTLY match the calculated fileName

⛔ BLOCKING RULE #2: Node Positioning (NO OVERLAP)

Nodes MUST be placed on grid. Overlapping nodes = unusable canvas.

Position X = COLUMN × 350
Position Y = ROW × 250

Before creating nodes, assign grid positions:

Node 1: Col 0, Row 0 → position: { x: 0, y: 0 }
Node 2: Col 1, Row 0 → position: { x: 350, y: 0 }
Node 3: Col 0, Row 1 → position: { x: 0, y: 250 }
Node 4: Col 1, Row 1 → position: { x: 350, y: 250 }

⛔ BLOCKING RULE #3: Mandatory Validation

After creating ALL files, AI MUST verify:

✓ VALIDATION CHECKLIST (AI must print this)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Canvas name:     "{name value}"
Calculated fileName: "{result}"
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✓ Canvas file:   {fileName}.md
✓ Nodes folder:  {fileName}_Nodes/ (contains {N} files)
✓ Connections:   {fileName}_Connections/ (if applicable)
✓ Datasheet:     {fileName}_Datasheet/ (if applicable)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Node positions verified: No overlaps
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If validation fails, FIX IMMEDIATELY before reporting completion.

Positioning Strategy (⚠️ Prevent Node Overlap)

Grid-Based Layout - Use this formula:

Position X = COLUMN × 350
Position Y = ROW × 250

Example for 6 nodes (2 rows × 3 columns):

# Row 0 (Headers)
Node 1: position: { x: 0, y: 0 }
Node 2: position: { x: 350, y: 0 }
Node 3: position: { x: 700, y: 0 }
# Row 1 (Content)
Node 4: position: { x: 0, y: 250 }
Node 5: position: { x: 350, y: 250 }
Node 6: position: { x: 700, y: 250 }

Minimum Spacing: 300px horizontal, 200px vertical

Node Size Reference

⚠️ Memo & Data-Sheet Height Rule: Memo and Data-Sheet nodes MUST use minimum height (40). These node types auto-expand when opened in Archon app.

Best Practices

• UUID: UPPERCASE format (e.g.,

  E9991F5F-C691-4042-827B-8D76BDF2A5A3

  )
• Timestamp: ISO8601 with Z suffix (e.g.,

  2025-12-15T07:28:18Z

  )
• Max 50 nodes per canvas
• Each node has 4 connection points (top, right, bottom, left)

When to Invoke (AUTOMATIC)

⚠️ This skill MUST be invoked automatically when:

• ANY file operation in

  Docs/Brain/

  directory
• User mentions "Brain", "canvas", "nodes", "캔버스", "브레인"
• Creating visual research output
• Organizing aesthetic references
• Any task that requires structured information visualization

Trigger Phrases:

• "Create a Brain canvas for {topic}"
• "Organize {info} in Brain"
• "Add nodes to Brain canvas"
• "Brain-organize {research results}"

🚨 FINAL REMINDER: 3 BLOCKING RULES

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ RULE #1: fileName MUST match folder names                   ┃
┃ RULE #2: Nodes MUST use grid positions (X=COL×350, Y=ROW×250)┃
┃ RULE #3: MUST print validation checklist after completion   ┃
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

VIOLATION = BROKEN CANVAS (0 nodes, overlapping nodes, unusable)
