How to build a cited knowledge base of people and commitments with Ambient Context

Get six cited pages on people, commitments, threads, products, issues and reading from one day.

Who it is forA project lead who needs a running memory of who said what and which commitments were made across a day of messages and tickets.

The problemCommitments and names made in passing get lost between calls, chats and emails, and nobody writes them down.

The outcomeKnowledge pages in KB/<date>/ where each claim points back to a block in the record.

What you need first

  • A Mac on macOS 14 or later with Apple Silicon
  • Accessibility permission granted to Ambient Context
  • A folder you choose to hold the record, ideally outside iCloud Drive
  • An agent CLI you already have (Claude Code, Codex or opencode) for Knowledge and Notes
  • An MCP client such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or Zed for the tool connection

Steps

  1. Record the day, then open the Agent tab and connect an agent CLI you already have.
  2. Press Process day on the recorded date, or let the scheduled time run it.
  3. Open KB/<date>/people.md and commitments.md and check the citations.
  4. Open KB/<date>/manifest.md to confirm which pages were written.

Prompt for your agent

Using the dragthelake/ambient-context knowledge folder, read KB/<placeholder date>/commitments.md and list each commitment with its owner and cited block. Expected output: a table with columns commitment, owner and source block. Verify that every row has a citation that exists in Days/<placeholder date>/.

Caveat. Knowledge is built by the agent CLI you connect, which runs under your own subscription, so its quality depends on that tool.
