Tao Batch 1 Implementation Plan

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

Goal: Move the first batch of Tao material into ~/src/lifeitself/tao, including any referenced local assets, while keeping strategy/history content in strategy/archive.

Architecture: Update the migration manifest so archive-style Tao items are explicitly scoped to strategy/archive/. Then move the source markdown and Excalidraw files into the Tao repo, copying any local image/diagram assets they reference so internal embeds continue to resolve. Finish by deleting the source files from community and verifying that all touched repos are clean.

Tech Stack: Markdown, Excalidraw markdown+svg pairs, local asset files, git.


Task 1: Reclassify the Tao batch in the manifest

Files:

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

Step 1: Update targets for archive-style Tao content

  • Route art-earth-tech.md, strategy-macro-to-micro-2023.md, and the selected strategy/history Excalidraws to strategy/archive/
  • Keep culture/practice items pointed at culture/

Step 2: Verify the Tao section still reads cleanly

  • No Tao row should still point at the old community source paths after the move

Task 2: Move culture/practice Tao pages

Files:

  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/culture/five-mindfulness-trainings.md
  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/culture/integrity.md
  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/culture/shining-light.md
  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/culture/triangles.md
  • Remove: the corresponding source files from ~/src/lifeitself/community

Step 1: Copy the markdown content

  • Preserve frontmatter where present
  • Keep relative links working

Step 2: Remove the source copies

  • Only delete the files that were moved

Task 3: Move archive-style strategy/history pages

Files:

  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/strategy/archive/art-earth-tech.md
  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/strategy/archive/strategy-macro-to-micro-2023.md
  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/strategy/archive/coliving-lakes-and-streams-2018.excalidraw.md
  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/strategy/archive/research-overview-oct-2023.excalidraw.md
  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/strategy/archive/strategy-macro-to-micro-2023-02-01.excalidraw.md
  • Create: ~/src/lifeitself/tao/strategy/archive/structuring-life-itself-offers-2022-11-12.excalidraw.md
  • Remove: the corresponding source files from ~/src/lifeitself/community

Step 1: Copy the markdown and diagram files

  • Keep each Excalidraw .md paired with its .svg
  • Leave internal wiki links pointing to the moved filenames

Step 2: Remove source copies once the Tao versions are in place

  • Do not remove unrelated files in community

Files:

  • No new files

Step 1: Check for referenced local assets

  • Copy any local image or diagram assets referenced by the moved notes

Step 2: Verify git status in community and tao

  • Confirm only the intended moves remain
