Master Plan Builder Skill

Goal

Natively read curated notes in the raw/ directories, extract their metadata (Author, Date, Type, Category), and dynamically rebuild or update the navigation index table inside the respective Master Plan — <Category>.md file keylessly and prompt-free using native file tools.

Prerequisites

• Vault Directory Permissions: Recursively authorized.
• Strictly use native tools: Never shell out to terminal commands. Use native file tools.

Step 1 — Scan Curated Raw Notes

Search and list all .md files in the raw/ folder of the target category recursively (e.g. dataScienceKnowledgeBase/AI Engineer/raw or software engineer/raw):

• Ignore other Master Plans, outlines, or temporary files.

Step 2 — Parse Note Metadata (Zero-YAML Blockquotes)

For each note:

1. Read note content: Use view_file to inspect the contents.
2. Parse Title: Extract the unique H1 title from the first line.
3. Parse Blockquote Metadata: Locate the blockquote directly under the H1 title and extract:
   • Channel/Author: From fields like Channel/Author, Canal/Autor, Author, Autor. Clean up formatting.
   • Date/Published: From Published, Publicado, Date, Fecha.
   • Content Type: From Type, Tipo.
   • Category: Determined from the relative path under the raw/ zone (e.g. raw/Feature Engineering for Machine Learning/Section-08).

Step 3 — Generate Index Table

Format the note metadata into a beautifully structured Markdown table. For example, for Machine Learning:

| Note / Link | Author | Date | Type | Section / Category |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [[FEML - 25 - Categorical Encoding Introduction]] | Carlos Ibarra | May 2026 | course note | raw/Feature Engineering for Machine Learning/Section-08 — Categorical Encoding Basic |

Step 4 — Write to Master Plan File

Locate the Master Plan file (e.g., dataScienceKnowledgeBase/Machine Learning/Master Plan — Machine Learning.md):

1. If file does not exist: Create a fresh Master Plan note using the vault's standard template (H1, Description, Notes table, Themes covered, and Related links).
2. If file exists: Read its contents and replace the table section dynamically between the ## Notes in this category header and the next section separator ---. Use replace_file_content to execute this update silently.

Step 5 — Verify Changes

Natively read the updated Master Plan file to verify that all links are clickable, format is clean, and indices are aligned.
