Create NOX

NOX begins with a simple truth: every day, I generate a structured log set to track everything that happens. This page documents the real system I use — for decision capture, retrospectives, and progress tracking.

The core NOX generator is a Bash script that creates a daily model folder and pre-filled Markdown files using consistent filenames, YAML headers, and internal routing. You can find the full source and usage instructions here:

Run it like this:

$ ./nox.sh 2025-07-13 foo bar

📁 Folder Structure

Dropbox/
|-- nox/
|   |-- models/
|   |   |-- homework/
|   |   |   |-- 2025/
|   |   |   |   |-- 07-july/
|   |   |   |   |   |-- 13-homework/
|   |   |   |   |   |   |-- models/
|   |   |   |   |   |   |   |-- foo/
|   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |-- foo-13.md
|   |   |   |   |   |   |   |-- bar/
|   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |-- bar-13.md
|   |   |   |   |   |   |-- signals-13.md
|   |   |   |   |   |   |-- log-13.md
|   |-- log.md

This repeatable pattern gives me the structure I need to log, orient, tally, and grow. Each day has its own folder. Each folder contains two primary files:

signals-#.md — The orientation file, assignment router and scoring shell
log-#.md — Main event log, task execution, narrative or timeline

🧭 signals-#.md

This file is always written first. It tracks morning routine, scoring of yesterday's tasks, and the emotional/strategic plan for the day ahead.

## Routine
_A simple start-of-day shell. Each line sets an anchor for presence and pacing._

| ID | Time   | Domain | Check | Time  | Notes       |
|----|--------|--------|-------|-------|-------------|
| 1  | @ 5:00 | Awake  | [ ]   | :     |             |

## Scoring Shell

2025-07-13 [mode:account] - Review of yesterday's tasks [SYS] ${checklist: |  
  - [x] Finished README for PDC Blueprint
  - [ ] Push updated archive.log
}

## Let's Agree on This

2025-07-13 [mode:restore] - Morning Agreement Block [SUN] ${feed: |

  _EiTi Shell_  
  - Dump zone for mental clutter  
  - Includes large tasks, vague ideas, or open threads  
  - Meant to be triaged or refined later  

  _Let’s Agree on This_  
  - [ ] Simple, tangible tasks assigned at the beginning of the day  

  _Signal Shell_  
  - Captures mid-log tasks needing follow-up  
  - Syntax: `{ [ ] Verb Task [DOMAIN] ↳ source-file.md }`

  - { [ ] Add routing to HNET [HNET] ↳ document-foo.md }

}

📜 log-#.md

This file holds the timeline. What happened, when, and what got built. It's structured using standard NOX log syntax.
