Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) is the practice of collecting, organizing, and connecting the information you encounter — notes, ideas, references, and people — so it becomes a durable personal asset.

Laputa is designed as a PKM tool. Unlike traditional note-taking apps, it treats your notes as a graph of interconnected entities: types give structure, wikilinks create connections, views let you slice through the graph from different angles.

## How Luca uses Laputa for PKM

These notes describe the actual system behind this vault — written by [[Luca Rossi]] as examples you can learn from and adapt:

- [[How I Organize My Vault]] — the structure: Projects, Responsibilities, Topics, People
- [[Syncing Calendar Events into Laputa]] — turning meetings into connected knowledge
- [[Capturing People and Meetings]] — building a useful network of Person notes
- [[Why Plain Files]] — why markdown + Git beats proprietary tools
