Documents
Colour: Cyan (#06b6d4)
Documents are long-form knowledge base entries — the “reading” nodes. They store bodies of text that other nodes in your graph might need to draw on.
When to use documents
Use a document node when you have a substantial body of text that serves as background knowledge, training material, or process documentation. Documents are the simplest node type — they hold text and get referenced by other nodes.
Good candidates for document nodes:
- Knowledge base articles — how-to guides, FAQs, troubleshooting steps
- Process documentation — standard operating procedures, runbooks
- Training materials — onboarding guides, capability descriptions
- Research notes — findings, analysis, background reading
How documents connect
Documents are typically referenced by other nodes:
- Prompts → Documents — a prompt references a knowledge base article for grounding (connection type: “references”)
- Skills → Documents — a skill depends on process documentation (connection type: “references”)
- Workflows → Documents — a workflow references training materials (connection type: “references”)
- Documents → Sources — a document can be derived from a source (connection type: “derived_from”)
Documents vs sources
Both hold reference text, but they serve different purposes:
- Sources are authoritative standards — style guides, API specs, compliance rules. They define constraints.
- Documents are knowledge — articles, guides, notes. They provide context and background.
If something dictates how other nodes must behave, it’s a source. If it provides useful information that other nodes can draw on, it’s a document.
Document templates
Skrptiq includes a comprehensive set of built-in document templates across several categories to help you get started quickly:
| Category | Templates |
|---|---|
| Product & Strategy | PRD, Feature Spec, Competitive Analysis, User Story |
| Project Management | Project Brief, Status Report, Meeting Minutes, Retrospective, Risk Register |
| Communication | Formal Email, Follow-Up Email, Introduction Email, Meeting Agenda, Proposal |
| Research & Analysis | Research Summary, SWOT Analysis, Decision Document |
| Content Creation | Blog Post, Content Brief, Newsletter |
| Education & Study | Study Notes, Essay Outline, Research Paper Outline |
| Personal Productivity | Daily Plan, Travel Itinerary, Onboarding Guide |
| Release & Change | Release Notes, Change Request |
Templates pre-fill the node title, description, and content with {{VARIABLE}} placeholders that you replace with your own values.
You can also create custom templates via the Template Manager (Settings → Templates tab). Custom templates can use any of the existing categories or define new ones.
Content format
Document content is plain text or markdown. Use headings, lists, and code blocks as needed. Use slash commands to quickly insert formatting, references, and structured content.
