Knowledge Layer

Specific Knowledge

Curated expertise. Mastery tracked.

Inspired by Naval Ravikant: specific knowledge is what makes you irreplaceable. Ingest books, courses, podcasts, and articles. NeuralSnap extracts concepts, frameworks, and techniques — then tracks your mastery over time.

8 knowledge entry types

Every extracted piece of knowledge is classified into one of eight types. This classification powers search, filtering, and the mastery tracking system.

concept

Core ideas and abstractions in a domain.

framework

Structured models for understanding or decision-making.

protocol

Step-by-step procedures and processes.

principle

Foundational truths and guiding rules.

technique

Specific methods and skills you can practice.

quote

Notable statements worth preserving verbatim.

case_study

Real-world examples illustrating a concept.

definition

Precise definitions of terms and concepts.

Mastery tracking & curriculum generation

Every knowledge entry has a mastery score (0–1) that increases as you recall and apply it. The curriculum generator identifies gaps — topics where your mastery is low or knowledge is missing entirely.

  • Mastery scores increase with recall and application
  • Domain-level aggregation shows your strongest areas
  • Curriculum generator identifies knowledge gaps
  • Spaced repetition suggestions for retention

Ingest and search with one API call each

The ingestion pipeline handles extraction, classification, and embedding automatically. Search across all knowledge entries semantically.

// Ingest a book
const source = await neuralsnap.knowledge.ingest({
  source_type: "book",
  title: "Atomic Habits",
  author: "James Clear",
  domain: "productivity",
  content: "The four laws of behavior change..."
});
// → 12 entries extracted (concepts, frameworks, techniques)

// Search across all knowledge
const results = await neuralsnap.knowledge.search({
  query: "how to build better habits",
  domain: "productivity",
});
// → "Four Laws of Behavior Change" (mastery: 0.3)
