Storage Templates

Overview

Generic template patterns and lifecycle management for structured content storage. Provides reusable templates, maturity progression models, and file naming conventions that work across different storage domains.

When to Use

  • Building knowledge management systems
  • Organizing documentation with maturity stages
  • Need consistent file naming patterns
  • Want template-driven content creation
  • Implementing lifecycle-based workflows

Core Concepts

Template Types

Type Purpose Maturity Lifetime
Evergreen Stable, proven knowledge High Permanent
Growing Active development Medium 1-3 months
Seedling Early ideas Low 1-2 weeks
Reference Tool/version-specific N/A Until deprecated

Maturity Lifecycle

seedling → growing → evergreen → archive
    ↓         ↓          ↓           ↓
 1-2 weeks  1-3 months  permanent  deprecated

Quick Start

Basic Template Structure

---
title: [Content Title]
created: [YYYY-MM-DD]
maturity: seedling|growing|evergreen|reference
tags: [relevant, tags]
---

# [Title]

## Core Content
[Main information]

## Metadata
[Context and attribution]

File Naming Conventions

Type Pattern Example
Evergreen topic-name.md functional-core-pattern.md
Growing topic-name.md async-patterns.md
Seedling YYYY-MM-DD-topic.md 2025-12-05-template-idea.md
Reference tool-version.md python-3.12-features.md

Domain Applications

Add domain-specific fields to templates:

  • memory-palace: palace, district for knowledge organization
  • sanctum: scope, version for commit templates
  • spec-kit: phase, status for specifications

See modules/template-patterns.md for detailed examples.

Common Patterns

Promotion Workflow

Seedling → Growing:

  • Accessed more than once
  • Connected to other entries
  • Expanded with new insights

Growing → Evergreen:

  • Proven useful over 3+ months
  • Stable, not frequently edited
  • Well-connected in system

Evergreen → Archive:

  • Superseded by newer knowledge
  • Technology/approach deprecated
  • No longer applicable
