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 Stone
|
||
|
||
Tiger's Eye is a quartz threaded with fibres of altered asbestos, and when it is cut and polished those fibres catch the light in a single moving band — a phenomenon called chatoyancy, the “cat’s eye” shimmer. Tilt it and a ribbon of gold slides across the golden-brown surface like a slitted pupil narrowing in the sun. The colours run from honey to deep bronze, banded and warm, with a satin sheen that feels older than fashion.
|
||
|
||
It has the reputation of a watchman’s stone. Roman soldiers carried it into battle, believing the ever-open eye would see danger coming and turn it aside. There is something in the hand-feel that agrees — dense, smooth, faintly warm, a stone that seems to be paying attention.

## Properties
|
||
|
||
Tiger’s Eye is the stone of grounded confidence. Where fear scatters the will, it gathers it back — steadying the nerve without inflating the ego, lending courage that keeps its feet on the ground. It sits squarely at the solar plexus, the seat of personal power, and is called on for willpower, decisiveness, and the kind of protection that comes not from armour but from clear sight. It marries fire’s drive to earth’s patience, which is why it suits people who burn bright but need to stay rooted.
|
||
|
||
## In Practice
|
||
|
||
Carried in the pocket, it is a talisman for a daunting day — an interview, a confrontation, a decision that has been circled for weeks. Held during meditation over the navel, it warms the resolve and quiets the second-guessing. Many keep it on a work desk as a small sentinel against distraction and doubt, turning it in the fingers when focus slips.
