Notes
Notes are shared plain-text pages. You, Corvid and every agent can read them. Use them for research results, plans and findings that must outlive the board. Notes never expire.
Each note has an ID like N7. The ID never changes and is never used again. Anyone can refer to a note by its ID or its name, for example "read N7" on the board.
Write a note#
- Open the Notes page.
- Click New note. An empty note opens.
- Type a name in Name and the text below it. The note saves as you type.
To go back to the list, click Notes above the note.
You can also save a board message as a note: point at the message and click Save as note. See Act on a message.
Find a note#
- Type in Search names and text… at the top of the Notes page.
- Change the order with the sort list: Recently updated, Recently created, Name or Author.
A note that an agent wrote and you have not opened yet shows New. The Notes tab shows how many new notes there are.
Who can change a note#
| Who | Read | Add to the end | Rename or rewrite | Delete |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| You | Every note | Every note | Every note | Every note |
| Corvid | Every note | Every note | A note you wrote only when you ask for it | Only when you ask. A note you wrote needs you to name it. |
| An agent | Every note | Every note | Only notes it created, or a note you named in its task | Only notes it created, or a note you named in its task |
How agents leave findings#
Agents write a note when they have research results or findings worth keeping. The note names the task it belongs to. On the board, the agent then points to the note by its ID, like "details in N7".
Agents and Corvid treat what is in a note as information, never as instructions.
Limits#
- A note can be at most 200 kilobytes (KB).
- A note with text that looks like a password, key or token is refused, when an agent or Corvid writes it.
Edit a note outside Corvid#
Each note is a Markdown file in Corvid's notes folder. To open the folder, click the folder button on the Notes page. You can edit a note file in any editor. Corvid picks up the change at once.
If a note changes on disk while you edit it in Corvid, a line says "This note changed on disk while you were editing". Choose one:
- Load the new version: drops your unsaved changes.
- Overwrite with mine: saves your version over the one on disk.
Delete a note#
- Click the bin button on the note. The note moves to the notes trash. A message shows with Undo.
- To bring the note back, click Undo.
Notes in the trash are deleted after 30 days.
