Domain Extension · PersonalOntology

Personal Ontology

Your career history, CFP pipeline, opportunities, and content lifecycle become first-class queryable graph artifacts. Skill tiers, talk stages, publication records, and positioning strategies are modeled as ontology nodes — version-controlled, machine-queryable, and surfaced in the daemon UI.

# Activate the personal domain in your repo
ontoref setup --kind PersonalOntology

# Alias is now available
personal state 

Career Layer

Skills are stored as ontology nodes with a tier classification. Talks, publications, and positioning strategies extend the career graph. All of this lives in ontology/career.ncl — queryable via the CLI or the daemon API.

Skills

Four tiers: Expert · Advanced · Intermediate · Foundational
Filter by tier to generate positioning materials or résumé sections
Skills link to talks and publications via ontology edges

personal career skills
personal career skills --tier Expert 

Talks

Full lifecycle: Idea → Proposed → Accepted → Delivered → Archived
Each talk carries title, abstract, event, date, recording URL, slides URL
Filter by status to see the active pipeline vs. archive

personal career talks
personal career talks --status Accepted 

Publications & Positioning

Publications sorted by order field — articles, books, papers
Positioning strategies: core message, target audience, differentiators
Both feed into the /career daemon page and CV generation modes

CFP Pipeline

Call-for-proposals tracked as graph nodes with a typed stage FSM. Each CFP record carries the event, deadline, talk abstract, submission URL, and Sessionize ID. Stage transitions are written back to reflection/backlog.ncl so they survive as version-controlled history.

Watching→Evaluating→Drafting→Submitted→Accepted/Declined→Delivered

Command	What it does
personal cfp	List all CFP records, most recent first
personal cfp --stage Drafting	Filter to records currently in the Drafting stage
personal cfp show <id>	Full detail for one CFP: event, abstract, deadline, URLs, history
personal cfp update <id> --stage Accepted	Transition the CFP stage; writes transition to reflection/backlog.ncl

# See all CFPs waiting for a decision
personal cfp --stage Submitted

# Inspect a specific CFP before updating
personal cfp show cfp-rustconf-2025

# Mark it as accepted — stage written to backlog.ncl
personal cfp update cfp-rustconf-2025 --stage Accepted

# ore alias works identically
ore personal cfp --stage Drafting 

Opportunities

Job opportunities, consulting engagements, and collaboration requests tracked as typed nodes. Each record carries a company, role, contact, compensation range, and notes. Stage transitions are explicit — no hidden pipeline state.

Watching→Evaluating→Active→Submitted→Closed

# List opportunities currently under active evaluation
personal opportunities --status Evaluating

# Full detail — compensation range, contact, notes, history
personal opportunities show opp-acme-sre-2025

# Move to Active (started interviewing)
personal opportunities update opp-acme-sre-2025 --status Active 

Content Pipeline

Blog posts, technical articles, video scripts, and newsletter issues tracked as content nodes in ontology/personal.ncl. Each node carries a title, format, target platform, tags, and a publication URL. Status drives the pipeline view in the daemon UI.

Idea→Draft→Review→Published→Archived

# View everything currently in draft
personal content --status Draft

# View what's pending review before publish
personal content --status Review

# All statuses (no filter)
personal content 

Daemon UI

The personal domain activates two additional pages in the daemon UI. Both are live-reloading and reflect the current state of your ontology files without restart.

Activation & CLI Reference

Setup writes repo_kind = PersonalOntology to your manifest and installs ontology/career.ncl and ontology/personal.ncl extension schemas. The personal alias is registered in your shell profile (or invokable as ore personal).
