Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes, 67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer. - scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault: slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion list plus a privacy guard. - tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other pages get a Related Knowledge block. - Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

## The Spirit
|
|
|
|
Malphas is the thirty-ninth spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Great President who appears first in the form of a crow before the operator, and who takes the shape of a man when commanded, speaking then with a hoarse voice. He belongs to the architectural and martial spirits of the catalogue, a builder and a breaker of fortifications whose office mirrors and inverts that of his neighbour Halphas. Where one stocks the tower, the other raises and razes it.
|
|
|
|
The grimoires carry a pointed warning about Malphas: if the operator makes a sacrifice or offering to him, he will receive it kindly and willingly — but he will then deceive the one who made it. His nature is thus reliable in his stated office yet treacherous in the matter of gifts, a spirit to be commanded rather than courted.
|
|
|
|
## Office
|
|
|
|
The Goetia says Malphas can build houses and high towers, and can bring to the operator's knowledge the thoughts, desires, and works of his enemies. He destroys the desires and strongholds of adversaries, gives good familiars, and can quickly bring artificers together from all places. He receives sacrifices willingly but deceives those who offer them.
