Knowledge Packs — Stunspot’s Guide to Human Behavioral Neurobiology

The repository ships the same canon in three upload shapes: individual reports, compiled packs, and an omnibus file. The content is intentionally redundant across formats. Pick one shape for your workflow unless your retrieval system has explicit deduplication.

Use the compiled packs in knowledge-packs/compiled-packs/ for most AI Projects, RAG systems, long-context workspaces, and NotebookLM-style tools.

They give the model the whole canon in four coherent files while preserving the volume structure. It is the best balance of coverage, orientation, and file-count sanity.

Pack Types

Pack Type Files Path Best Use
Source reports 12 knowledge-packs/by-report/ Precise retrieval, selective upload, report-level citation, corpus inspection, editing.
Compiled packs 4 knowledge-packs/compiled-packs/ Recommended default: grouped coverage with lower file count and preserved volume logic.
Omnibus 1 knowledge-packs/omnibus/ One-file import, local archive, whole-corpus indexing, or strong long-context systems.

Decision Guide

Use source reports when:

Use compiled packs when:

Use the omnibus when:

Avoid mixing pack types in the same naive retrieval index. Loading by-report/, compiled-packs/, and omnibus/ together can cause duplicate retrieval and overweight repeated passages.

Source Reports

Source reports are the canonical individual units. Use them for precise retrieval, selective upload, source-level citation, or manual inspection.

Compiled Packs

Compiled packs are the recommended default upload shape.

Omnibus

The omnibus is the entire canon in one file:

Use it for archival import, local search, or long-context systems. Avoid it in small RAG systems that chunk poorly or lose heading metadata.
