The @MythOS Style Guide is the canonical reference for how memos should be formatted and structured.

Structure

Memos use one of two formats: Encyclopedia-style (for entities, concepts, tools):

# Objective — factual description (hidden header)
# Subjective — personal context and perspective (hidden header)
# Contexts — tags and root memo links Blog/essay-style (for posts, opinion pieces, analyses):
Content starts directly with ## section headers — no # Post header. Do not use # Post.
# Contexts — tags and root memo links

Header Visibility

# Objective, # Subjective, and # Contexts headers are always hidden — they are structural markers, not visible text. Only ## subheadings and below should be visible to readers.
Do not use # Post as a header. Blog/essay memos should begin directly with their first ## section heading.

No extra line breaks between paragraphs or sections — keep content tight. Single newline between paragraphs, no double spacing.
100-300 words for standard memos — the most read resources are @Cogent. Blog posts and essays may be longer.
3-5 links — quantity of @@Mentions to other resources and @#Tags to topics will vary based on a resource's purpose. Aim for having 3-5 ways for the reader to explore further.
The first half of an encyclopedia memo should be an objective description similar to those you might find at the beginning of a @Wikipedia article (e.g. who or what someone is). The second half should be your subjective context as it regards that resource (e.g. how and why you know them).

We insert order and format our @memo headers as follows:

@'Related' Section
'References' Section — a numbered section with bibliography-style references
'Creators' Section — a bulleted section with @Collaboration (MythOS) tags for each creator
'Contexts' Section — a bulleted section with related @#tags and their @Root Memos
'Notes' Section — a bulleted section with non-private notes
