├── Category 1: [name]
│ ├── Subcategory 1.1
│ ├── Subcategory 1.2
│ └── Subcategory 1.3
├── Category 2: [name]
│ ├── Subcategory 2.1
│ └── Subcategory 2.2
└── Category 3: [name]
├── Subcategory 3.1
└── Subcategory 3.2

For each content type, define a template:
Concept Document
# Concept: [Name]
## Definition
## Key Attributes
## Relationships
## Examples
## Common Misconceptions
Process Document
# Process: [Name]
## Trigger
## Steps (numbered)
## Decision Points
## Expected Outcome
## Failure Modes
Reference Document
# Reference: [Name]

part-of: Component relationship
depends-on: Dependency mapping
related-to: Soft association
contradicts: Conflict to resolve

Structure files for Claude's 200K context:
Chunking: Split large documents into 10-20KB files
Naming: category_subcategory_topic.md convention

Priority: Put most-frequently-used content first
5. Update Workflow
Maintain knowledge base quality:
Review Cadence: Monthly accuracy checks
Deprecation: Archive outdated documents with redirects
Versioning: Keep major revision history in each doc
Feedback Loop: Track what users search for most
6. Example Entries
Provide 5 example knowledge base entries following the templates above, relevant to {{domain}}.
Output with bold headers, code for file naming, --- for document separators, and clear | table | formatting for taxonomy mappings.
