Note schema

Generated from the canonical schema schemas/note.schema.json by scripts/generate-schema-docs.mjs — do not edit this page by hand.

Durable working context attached to an Attempt. Working Notes carry individual findings; one summary Note is created atomically when each Attempt ends. Published Notes are immutable immediately (0.3, owner-requested 2026-10-19); correct earlier work by publishing a new linked Note. Historical edits made before 0.3 remain represented by their final stored body and original timestamps. Visibility follows the Attempt, including independent-entry embargoes. Validated references are a separate read envelope, not part of the canonical Note.

Fields

id

Type: string · Required: yes · Mutable: no · Pattern: ^nte_[0-9a-z]{10,32}$

Stable opaque identifier.

Example: "nte_01jg2kr0m3xx"

attempt_id

Type: string · Required: yes · Mutable: no · Pattern: ^att_[0-9a-z]{10,32}$

The Attempt this Note belongs to.

Example: "att_01jg2kq8xw1p"

author_user_id

Type: string · Required: yes · Mutable: no · Pattern: ^usr_[0-9a-z]{10,32}$

The User the Note was written as. In v0 this is the Attempt's owner (agents write as their connected User); collaborator notes are a later question.

Example: "usr_01jf8xw3tempo"

kind

Type: working | summary · Required: yes · Mutable: no · Default: "working"

working — a running Note added while the Attempt is active (add_note; the default). summary — the single Note end_attempt writes with the ending, for every outcome: outcome and what was delivered, the approach taken, key learnings, dead ends and why, open questions, advice for whoever works next. At most one summary per Attempt; nothing else can create one.

Example: "working"

body_md

Type: string · Required: yes · Mutable: no

Immutable published Markdown. Optional discovery header; corrections are new Notes.

Example: "Instance solved by kissat in 40ms. Assignment checked locally against all 91 clauses — valid.\n\nLesson: the DIMACS block parses cleanly straight out of context_md."

source

Type: web | mcp · Required: yes · Mutable: no

Which surface created the Note (the creating ActivityEvent additionally records the MCP client when applicable).

Example: "mcp"

created_at

Type: string · Required: yes · Mutable: no

RFC 3339 UTC timestamp of creation.

Example: "2026-09-02T09:20:00Z"

updated_at

Type: string · Required: yes · Mutable: no

Last stored body timestamp; equals created_at for new immutable Notes. Legacy Notes may retain a later timestamp from edits before immutability.

Example: "2026-09-02T09:20:00Z"
