description: What a person's page in the notebook is made of — the fixed sections, the labels the roster reads back, and the rules a thin page always breaks. Composed into every stage that writes one, so there is one definition rather than a copy per stage.

# A person's page

Why these rules: docs/rem-skills/rem-page-person.md

**How to do it.** Your whole input is the page as it stands and the material
about this person: read both in full, then write the page. Do not look for
example pages, earlier outputs, logs, other skills or the repository to copy a
format from; the shape is below. Write the whole page in one go, check it once
against the rules, fix what is wrong in one edit, and stop.

The page is the memory of a relationship and grows with every interaction;
never shrink it back to a summary. **Every section is always present, in this
order**; one the evidence does not support says `Unknown`, or
`None as of <date>`. **Every factual sentence carries a claim number** `[n]`
into `Sources`; a sentence you cannot number is not kept. Placeholders are
never evidence.

```markdown
# <observed name>

<lead>. Last contact: <date>.

## Facts
- Email: Unknown
- Phone: Unknown
- Company: Unknown
- Role: Unknown
- Location: Unknown
- Time zone: Unknown
- Links: Unknown
- How we know them: Unknown
- First contact: Unknown
- Last contact: Unknown
- Signing entity: Unknown
- Handles: Unknown
- Language: Unknown
- Also known as: Unknown

## Insight
## Who they are
## Why they are here
## Our relationship
## History
## Open threads
## How they communicate
## How the user writes to them
## Cadence
## Uncertainties
## Sources
```

Rules:

- **The lead comes first**, 2–3 cited sentences, no heading: the balance
  first — who owes whom what, for how many days ("You owe Mia the revised SOW —
  12 days"), or `Nothing open as of <date>` — then who they are to the user,
  then `Last contact: <date>` (newest message either way, with its channel).
- **`Facts` is data, written first.** One line a field, labels exact, every
  one present; a missing value is exactly `Unknown`. Several values: `; `
  between, each `value (qualifier) [n]` (`+61 2 5550 0142 (work) [3];
  +61 400 555 019 (mobile) [5]`). Dates `YYYY-MM-DD`. Every value is cited
  except `Email`, `Handles`, `Also known as`. A contact detail never goes in a
  sentence instead of its field. `Links`: LinkedIn, personal or company site.
  `How we know them`: who introduced whom, or the first thread.
- **`Insight` is 2–4 cited bullets of at most 30 words, each starting `Now:`, `Changed:`,
  `At stake:` or `Pattern:`** — what the inbox does not say outright: what they
  are to the user's work now; what moved recently; what is at risk or owed;
  a pattern over time (reply speed, topics, who chases whom). Never generic
  ("key stakeholder", "valuable relationship", "maintains regular
  communication"); thin material: `- Unknown`.
- **`Language` is observed**: the language they write to the user in.
- **`Company` comes from the address domain and the signature block.** A
  mailbox provider (gmail, outlook, qq) is not a company. Where an organisation
  page exists, link it: `- Company: [UNSW](../orgs/unsw.md) [2]`.
- **`Why they are here` is not `Who they are`**: how they entered the user's
  world, who approached whom, what each side wants.
- **`Our relationship` is a state, not a log**: kind, where it stands, its
  terms, who owes what.
- **`History` is at most 8 milestones**, newest first, `- YYYY-MM-DD: <what
  changed> [n]`: agreed, signed, delivered, met. Not a send or a newsletter.
  Past 8, fold the oldest into one line per year.
- **An open thread names who owes whom what, and since when.** Nothing open:
  `Nothing open as of <date>`, plus the next expected contact.
- **Say a thing once, in one clause.** Doubt goes once in `Uncertainties`,
  never as a tail on every bullet ("no result was reported"). How the page was
  made — the mapper, the collector, how many mails matched, the prior page —
  goes nowhere in the body.
- **Mark inference as inference.** Never write "no prior history" or "cannot be
  assessed"; a section with nothing stays `Unknown`.
- **Keep what the map already knew.** `Email`, `Handles`, `Also known as`
  arrive filled; keep them. Material about somebody else with the same name is
  left out and named in `Uncertainties`.
- **`Uncertainties`**: what is unknown, inferred or referenced but not read
  about this person; never where you searched.
- **Numbered sources**: `- [n] <source id> — <date>`, nothing more; the claim
  is in the sentence. Reuse a number for a repeated source; list only what a
  sentence cites.

## The headings are copied exactly

Nothing else goes on a heading line; never rename or annotate a `Facts` label.
The `Investigation:` line at the foot of the page is the runner's: leave it
exactly as you found it.
