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.

Clear Quartz
The empty vessel holds the most.
The Stone
Clear Quartz is the archetype of what most people picture when they hear the word crystal — a colourless, glass-clear point that catches light and throws it back in rainbows. It grows in long hexagonal prisms terminating in six-sided pyramids, sometimes flawless and sometimes veiled with milky phantoms and fractures that only deepen its beauty. It is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth, and yet each specimen feels singular, as though the light passing through it had been briefly asked to remember something.
To the hand it is cool and certain. There is a reason ancient cultures across the world — from the Greeks who named it krystallos, believing it to be eternally frozen ice, to the peoples who carved it into skulls and spheres — treated it as a substance halfway between matter and spirit.

Properties
Clear Quartz is called the master healer, and the title is earned less through any single specialty than through its extraordinary versatility. It amplifies. Whatever intention, energy, or thought is brought to it, the stone takes up and magnifies, which makes it the great collaborator of the mineral kingdom — pair it with another stone and it strengthens that stone’s work. It clarifies the mind, tunes the whole chakra column, and is prized for holding and broadcasting a programmed intention with remarkable fidelity.
In Practice
Because it works with everything, Clear Quartz is the stone to reach for when nothing more specific suggests itself. It is held in meditation to focus a single clear thought, placed in a grid to bind other stones into one purpose, or kept at the desk as an amplifier of will. Cleanse it often — under running water, in moonlight, or with breath — since it takes on and holds whatever it is given, for better or worse.
