Astro Second Brain Implementation
A project applying the Open Knowledge Format to engineer an interactive, static-first digital brain using Astro 1 2.
Project Objectives
- Type Safety & Build Verification: Integrate OKF metadata schemas directly into Astro’s Content Layer to catch invalid dates, missing types, and broken links at build time.
- Progressive Disclosure UI: Deliver an intuitive reading experience with visual hierarchies, interactive breadcrumbs, and Map of Content (MOC) index sidebars.
- Provenance Inspector: Provide first-class visual inspection of sources, verification history, and freshness status.
- Instant Static Search: Pagefind integration for fast, zero-latency content search across concepts and tags.
- Knowledge Health Radar: Highlight stale notes needing updates or draft notes awaiting verification.
Subsystems
- Schema Validation: Defined in
src/content.config.ts. - Validation CLI: Runnable via
pnpm run brain:validate. - Reading & Exploration UI: Astro components and dynamic page routers.
