Locatio

Locatio (Latin): placing, setting aside, positioning

Skill for placing grouped Quick Notes on hold (moving to 02. On-Hold).

Trigger Patterns

• /locatio
• /locatio [[MOC - Topic]]
• "Hold these notes"
• "Move to on-hold"
• "Put these notes on hold"
• "on-hold로 이동"
• "이 노트들 보류"
• "MOC 노트들 hold"

Core Principles

1. MOC preserved: MOC stays in 40. MAPS, only wikilinks updated
2. HOLD.md created: Separate file with hold reason + exit strategy
3. Topic folder: Group name derived from MOC name (e.g., "Anthropic-Engineering")
4. Frontmatter updated: All notes get status: on-hold + hold fields
5. Purgatio bypass: On-hold notes are filtered out of purgatio processing

Relationship with Other Skills

Skill	Direction	Use Case	Target
locatio	Quick Notes → On-Hold	Group deferral	MOC-linked notes
purgatio	Quick Notes → Various	Daily processing	Individual notes
elevatio	Notes → Active	Create project	Single note/group

Core Workflow

Step 1: Identify Target Group

Identify notes to place on hold:

Option A: By MOC

1. User specifies MOC (e.g., [[MOC - Anthropic Engineering]])
2. Parse MOC file for linked notes in 01. Quick Notes/notes/
3. List all matching notes

Option B: By Tag/Topic

1. User specifies tag or topic
2. Search notes with matching tags in Quick Notes
3. List all matching notes

Option C: Manual Selection

1. User lists specific notes to hold

Step 2: Collect Hold Reason

Ask user why these notes are being held:

AskUserQuestion:
- Header: "Hold Reason"
- Options:
  - purgatio_bypass: "Purgatio 처리 시 갈 곳 없음"
  - not_ready: "학습/정리 필요"
  - exploring: "아직 탐색 중"
  - overload: "바로 프로젝트화하면 과부하"

Step 3: Collect Exit Strategy

Ask user about future plan:

AskUserQuestion:
- Header: "Exit Strategy"
- Options:
  - knowledge: "학습 후 30. KNOWLEDGE로 정리"
  - project: "프로젝트화 (elevatio)"
  - archive: "더 이상 필요 없으면 archive"

Step 4: Create Folder Structure

Create topic folder in 02. On-Hold:

00. INBOX/02. On-Hold/{Topic-Name}/
├── HOLD.md
└── notes/

Topic-Name: Derive from MOC name

• MOC - Anthropic Engineering → Anthropic-Engineering
• MOC - AI Tools → AI-Tools

Step 5: Create HOLD.md

Create HOLD.md in topic folder:

---
created: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
type: hold-record
group: {Topic-Name}
note_count: {count}
moc: "[[MOC - {Topic}]]"
tags: [type/hold-record]
---

# ⏸️ On-Hold: {Topic Name}

## Hold 사유

> [User's reason category and explanation]

## 포함된 노트 ({count}개)

- [[note1]]
- [[note2]]
...

## 관련 MOC (40. MAPS에 유지)

- [[MOC - {Topic}]]

## 활용 계획

- [ ] {Exit strategy option 1}
- [ ] {Exit strategy option 2}
- [ ] {Exit strategy option 3}

## Exit Strategy

See `references/exit-strategies.md` for detailed exit paths.

---

*Hold Date: YYYY-MM-DD*
*Reason: {reason category}*

Step 6: Move Notes

Move all identified notes to 02. On-Hold/{Topic}/notes/:

# Move each note file
mv "01. Quick Notes/notes/{note}.md" "02. On-Hold/{Topic}/notes/"

Step 7: Update Frontmatter

Update each note's frontmatter:

Before:

status: inbox

After:

status: on-hold
hold_date: YYYY-MM-DD
hold_group: {Topic-Name}
hold_moc: "[[MOC - {Topic}]]"

Step 8: Update MOC Links

Update MOC file wikilinks to new location:

Before:

[[00. INBOX/01. Quick Notes/notes/{note}|Alias]]

After:

[[00. INBOX/02. On-Hold/{Topic}/notes/{note}|Alias]]

Also update any dataview queries in MOC if present.

Step 9: Report Summary

Display: group name, note count, location, HOLD.md status, MOC link, exit options (elevatio/knowledge/memorio).

Folder Structure

00. INBOX/02. On-Hold/{Topic-Name}/
├── HOLD.md
└── notes/          ← moved notes

40. MAPS/42. MOCs/MOC - {Topic}.md  ← links updated only

Frontmatter Convention

On-Hold Notes

---
created: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
type: indagatio
status: on-hold           # Changed from inbox
hold_date: YYYY-MM-DD     # Added
hold_group: {Topic-Name}  # Added
hold_moc: "[[MOC - X]]"   # Added
tags: [...]
---

HOLD.md

See Step 5 template above for HOLD.md frontmatter.

User Confirmation Points

1. Confirm target notes (list all before proceeding)
2. Hold reason selection
3. Exit strategy selection

Reference Files

• references/hold-reasons.md - Detailed reason descriptions
• references/exit-strategies.md - Exit path descriptions
• ../_common/references/frontmatter-standard.md - Frontmatter fields

Integration

Inbound

• user: Direct call via /locatio or "hold these notes"
• purgatio: May suggest locatio for grouped expert notes

Outbound

• elevatio: When user decides to projectize held notes
• memorio: When user decides to archive held notes

Related Skills

• purgatio: Daily processing (filters out on-hold notes)
• elevatio: Project creation from notes
• memorio: Archive workflow
