Garden

Overview

The Garden is Akita’s content management layer, handling notes, fiches (personal sidecar notes), and resource entries (books, movies, articles, etc.). It powers the digital garden published at candide.me.

Content Types

Notes

Personal notes and Maps of Content (MOCs). Stored in notes/{locale}/{slug}.md.

• Support wiki-link syntax: [[slug]] or [[slug|Display Text]]
• MOCs (isMoc: true) render children as visual cards
• Can be draft (hidden in production) or private (encrypted at build time)

Fiches

Dev-only sidecar notes for resources. Stored as {collection}/{locale}/{slug}-fiche.md.

• Accumulate personal notes, quotes, and reactions to a resource
• Pre-fetch metadata from external APIs (Google Books, TMDB, Podcast Index, Wikidata)
• Can be promoted to full resource entries via promote_fiche

Resource Entries

Published content about books, movies, articles, series, podcasts, and people.

• Created via create_*_entry tools (auto-fetch metadata and cover images)
• Or promoted from fiches
• Support ratings, tags, and status tracking
