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.

Dantalion
He wears the face of every man and woman, and reads the thought behind each one.
The Spirit
Dantalion is the seventy-first spirit of the Ars Goetia and a Great Duke, the last of the dukes and among the most singular figures in the catalogue. He appears in the form of a man with many faces — the countenances of all men and all women — and carries in his right hand a book, as though he were forever reading and comparing the innumerable expressions he bears. The image is one of the grimoire's most vivid: a shifting multiplicity of human faces gathered into a single spirit who studies them all.
His province is the mind itself — its thoughts, its inclinations, and its capacity to be changed. The tradition treats him as a master of psychology in the old sense, one who both perceives the secret contents of the heart and works to reshape them, and he is often numbered among the more powerful and comprehensive spirits of the seventy-two.
Office
The Ars Goetia records that Dantalion teaches all arts and sciences, and declares the secret counsel of any person, for he knows the thoughts of all men and women and can change them at his will. He can cause love and show the likeness of any person, wherever they may be, and show the same by a vision. His office thus unites teaching, mind-reading, and the alteration of thought and affection, making him a spirit of the inner life above all.
