Rufu-7la Migration Triage Implementation Plan

For Claude: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

Goal: Produce a reviewed migration manifest for markdown files in ~/src/lifeitself/community, classifying each file into rufuspollock.com, tao.lifeitself.org, dds-course, or drop.

Architecture: This is a content-analysis workflow. First create a complete source inventory, then fill a manifest in batches with descriptions, destinations, confidence, and blog-postability, then review low-confidence cases before any migration happens.

Tech Stack: Markdown, shell inventory commands, manual content review using rg, find, sed, and repo-local docs.

Task 1: Confirm Inputs and Create Inventory

Files:

Read: README.md
Read: info-architecture-for-this-site.md
Read: docs/plans/2026-05-22-rufu-7la-migration-triage-design.md
Read: /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community/README.md
Read: /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/tao/README.md
Read: /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/dds-course/README.md
Create: docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt

Step 1: Check the source directories exist

Run:

test -d /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community
test -d /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/tao
test -d /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/dds-course

Expected: all commands exit successfully.

Step 2: Generate a complete markdown inventory

Run:

find /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community -type f -name '*.md' \
  | sed 's#^/Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community/##' \
  | sort > docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt

Expected: docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt contains one relative path per markdown file.

Step 3: Count inventory entries

Run:

wc -l docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt

Expected: count is greater than zero. Record the count in the manifest header in Task 2.

Step 4: Commit inventory

Run:

git add docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt
git commit -m "Add rufu-7la source inventory"

Expected: one commit containing only the inventory file.

Task 2: Create Manifest Template

Files:

Create: docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
Read: docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt

Step 1: Create manifest header

Create docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md with:

---
title: Rufu-7la Migration Manifest
created: 2026-05-22
status: draft
source: /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community

# Rufu-7la Migration Manifest

This manifest classifies markdown files from `notes.lifeitself.org` before any content migration.

Destination values:

- `rufuspollock.com`
- `tao.lifeitself.org`
- `dds-course`
- `drop`

Blog-postability values:

- `yes`
- `maybe`
- `no`

## Summary

- Total files:
- `rufuspollock.com`:
- `tao.lifeitself.org`:
- `dds-course`:
- `drop`:
- Low confidence:
- Blog postable `yes`:
- Blog postable `maybe`:

## Manifest

| Source | Title | Description | Destination | Target | Confidence | Blog | Metadata Needed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Step 2: Add one row per source file

For every line in docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt, add a placeholder row:

| `source/path.md` |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Expected: manifest has the same number of table rows as the inventory count.

Step 3: Verify manifest coverage

Run:

grep -c '^| `' docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
wc -l docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt

Expected: row count equals inventory count.

Step 4: Commit manifest template

Run:

git add docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
git commit -m "Add rufu-7la migration manifest template"

Expected: one commit containing the manifest template.

Task 3: Classify Obvious Directory-Based Batches

Files:

Modify: docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
Read: files under /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community/excalidraw/
Read: files under /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community/journal/
Read: files under /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community/projects/
Read: files under /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community/books/

Step 1: Classify Excalidraw files

Read each Excalidraw file's # Text Elements section first. Classify:

tao.lifeitself.org when about Life Itself org, spaces, money flows, comms, strategy, or operations.
rufuspollock.com when about general intellectual maps like wisdom gap or research topology.
dds-course only when directly about developmental spaces or course material.

Expected: each Excalidraw row has a 1-2 sentence description, destination, confidence, and blog_postable: no.

Step 2: Classify journal files

Read enough of each journal file to distinguish personal logs from Life Itself operational logs.

Expected:

Personal/general journal entries usually destination rufuspollock.com, target logs/YYYY-MM-DD.md, blog no.
Operational Life Itself logs usually destination tao.lifeitself.org, confidence medium unless clearly operational.

Step 3: Classify project files

Read each file in projects/.

Expected:

Life Itself website, ecosystem, or community project work usually destination tao.lifeitself.org.
General/public projects can remain rufuspollock.com.

Step 4: Classify book files

Read title/frontmatter and first section for each file in books/.

Expected:

General book notes usually destination rufuspollock.com.
DDS-specific readings destination dds-course when directly useful to course material.
Blog-postability usually maybe for substantial reviews, no for raw notes.

Step 5: Commit batch classification

Run:

git add docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
git commit -m "Classify rufu-7la directory batches"

Expected: one commit updating only the manifest.

Task 4: Classify Root-Level Pages

Files:

Modify: docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
Read: root-level markdown files in /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/community

Step 1: Review each root-level source file

For each root-level markdown file, read frontmatter, headings, and enough body text to summarize accurately.

Expected: each row has:

title
1-2 sentence description
destination
proposed target path if obvious
confidence
blog-postability
metadata notes

Step 2: Apply default destination rules

Use rufuspollock.com unless the page is clearly Life Itself operational, DDS course-specific, or disposable.

Expected examples:

cinesomatics.md: likely dds-course or drop, low/medium confidence, blog no.
life-itself.md: likely tao.lifeitself.org, confidence depends on content.
General topic notes like metacrisis.md, integral.md, spirituality.md, meditation.md: likely rufuspollock.com.

Step 3: Flag possible blog posts

Mark blog_postable: yes only for already essay-like pieces.

Mark blog_postable: maybe for pieces that could become posts after synthesis.

Expected: blog-post candidates are visible by scanning the Blog column.

Step 4: Commit root-level classification

Run:

git add docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
git commit -m "Classify rufu-7la root pages"

Expected: one commit updating only the manifest.

Task 5: Review Low-Confidence and Cross-Repository Cases

Files:

Modify: docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
Read as needed: /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/tao
Read as needed: /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/dds-course

Step 1: List low-confidence rows

Run:

rg '\| low \|' docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md

Expected: output shows all rows needing review.

Step 2: Compare against Tao and DDS repositories

For each low-confidence row, search for related files in tao and dds-course.

Run examples:

rg -i "cinesomatics|somatic|developmental" /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/dds-course
rg -i "praxis|spaces|money flows|community" /Users/rgrp/src/lifeitself/tao

Expected: notes column records whether there is an obvious existing home, duplicate, or gap.

Step 3: Update classifications

Raise confidence where evidence is clear. Keep low where a human decision is still needed.

Expected: remaining low rows are genuinely ambiguous and have a clear question in notes.

Step 4: Commit review updates

Run:

git add docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
git commit -m "Review rufu-7la ambiguous migration cases"

Expected: one commit updating only the manifest.

Task 6: Add Summary Counts and Final Review Notes

Files:

Modify: docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md

Step 1: Count destination classifications

Run:

rg -o '\| (rufuspollock.com|tao.lifeitself.org|dds-course|drop) \|' docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md

Count each destination and update the summary.

Expected: destination counts sum to total source files.

Step 2: Count low-confidence and blog candidates

Run:

rg '\| low \|' docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
rg '\| yes \|' docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
rg '\| maybe \|' docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md

Expected: summary fields are updated with counts.

Step 3: Verify no placeholder rows remain

Run:

rg '\| `[^`]+` \|  \|' docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md

Expected: no output. If output appears, complete those rows.

Step 4: Add next-phase recommendations

Add a section:

## Recommended Migration Phases

1. Migrate high-confidence `rufuspollock.com` pages.
2. Review `blog_postable: yes` and `maybe` items for possible posts.
3. Move or sync Tao items into `~/src/lifeitself/tao`.
4. Move or sync DDS items into `~/src/lifeitself/dds-course`.
5. Decide remaining low-confidence and `drop` items.

Step 5: Commit completed manifest

Run:

git add docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md
git commit -m "Complete rufu-7la migration manifest"

Expected: one commit with the completed manifest.

Task 7: Final Verification

Files:

Read: docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt
Read: docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md

Step 1: Check worktree status

Run:

git status --short

Expected: clean worktree.

Step 2: Verify manifest coverage

Run:

wc -l docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt
grep -c '^| `' docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md

Expected: counts match.

Step 3: Verify no migration occurred

Run:

git log --oneline --name-only -- docs/plans/rufu-7la-source-inventory.txt docs/plans/rufu-7la-migration-manifest.md

Expected: commits only add or modify planning/manifest files. No source content is moved in this phase.
