API Reference

Significance Wiki

Generate a significance-weighted personal knowledge base from any text. Built on the EDM open standard.

Overview

The significance wiki tools compile raw text into a two-file format weighted by what mattered — not just what happened.

Each source document produces:

  • wiki_article.md — factual: what happened, who, when, where
  • significance_article.md — structural: why it mattered, encoded as EDM fields

Example Output

wiki_article.md:

# Session with Dr. Chen — 2026-04-07
## What Happened
Discussion about father's death anniversary...
## Who Was Involved
- Self, Dr. Chen (therapist)

significance_article.md:

## Arc Classification
- arc_type: grief
- emotional_weight: 0.82
- recurrence_pattern: cyclical
## Core Significance
- anchor: father's death anniversary
- wound: unresolved grief
- identity_thread: still processing loss
