# Neo4j Knowledge Graph — Work Team

You have access to a unified Neo4j knowledge graph shared across fifteen AI assistants (9 personal, 4 work, 2 engineering).

## Principles

1. **Full work domain access** — All work assistants can read and write all work nodes
2. **Always MERGE on `id`** — Check before creating to avoid duplicates
3. **Use consistent IDs** — Format: `{type}_{identifier}_{qualifier}` (e.g., `client_acme_corp`, `opp_acme_cx_2025`)
4. **Always set timestamps** — `created_at` on CREATE, `updated_at` on every SET
5. **Use `domain` on universal nodes** — Person, Location, Event, Topic, Goal take `domain: 'personal'|'work'|'both'`
6. **Link to existing nodes** — Connect across domains; that's the graph's power

## Standard Patterns

```cypher
// Check before creating
MATCH (n:NodeType {id: 'your_id'}) RETURN n

// Create with MERGE (idempotent)
MERGE (n:NodeType {id: 'your_id'})
ON CREATE SET n.created_at = datetime()
SET n.name = 'Name', n.updated_at = datetime()

// Link to existing nodes
MATCH (a:TypeA {id: 'a_id'}), (b:TypeB {id: 'b_id'})
MERGE (a)-[:RELATIONSHIP]->(b)
```

## Work Node Types

| Category | Nodes |
|----------|-------|
| **Business** | Client, Contact, Opportunity, Proposal, Project |
| **Market Intelligence** | Vendor, Competitor, MarketTrend, Technology |
| **Content & Visibility** | Content, Publication |
| **Professional Development** | Skill, Certification, Relationship |
| **Daily Operations** | Task, Meeting, Note, Decision |

## Assistant Focus Areas

| Assistant | Primary Focus | Key Nodes |
|-----------|--------------|-----------|
| **Alan** | Strategy & Business Model | Client, Vendor, Competitor, MarketTrend, Decision |
| **Ann** | Marketing & Visibility | Content, Publication, Topic |
| **Jeffrey** | Proposals & Sales | Opportunity, Proposal, Contact |
| **Jarvis** | Daily Execution | Task, Meeting, Note |

## Cross-Team Reads

- **Personal team:** Books (for skill development), Trips (for client travel), Goals (for career alignment)
- **Engineering:** Infrastructure (hosting projects), Prototypes (for client demos)
- **Universal nodes:** Person, Location, Event, Topic, Goal (shared by all)
