Example stores

The examples/ directory in the db.md repo ships five role-flavored example stores. Each is a complete db.md store showing the two-folder pattern.

Copy and adapt

# Pull the repogit clone https://github.com/carloslfu/db.md.gitcd db.md/examples
# Copy the closest fit into your store. The store is version-controlled# by default: put it inside a repo, or git init it as its own.cp -r ops-store/ ./db
# Edit DB.md to set scope, owner, and any per-store overrides$EDITOR db/DB.md

Everything you configure lives in one file. DB.md carries the store's identity in frontmatter and, optionally, an ## Agent instructions section (house style, what to prioritize), a ## Policies section (frozen pages, ignored types), and a ## Schemas section (custom type definitions). That single file at the store root is the whole configuration surface.

The two folders

Every example has the same shape:

• sources/ holds evidence: emails, transcripts, exports, PDFs, preserved verbatim, plus note sources that capture what a human told the agent.
• records/ holds everything the agent authors, separated by a meta-type field. meta-type: fact (the default) is atomic typed data — one file per contact, company, expense, meeting, decision, or invoice. meta-type: conclusion is the agent's synthesis: once you point your agent harness at the store, it owns the conclusion records. You can still edit them; the agent respects the frozen pages listed in DB.md's ## Policies section.

Patterns that show up across all five

• Every conclusion record links to its evidence. A records/profiles/sarah-chen.md page (meta-type: conclusion) links to her records/contacts/sarah-chen.md record and the sources/emails/ that mention her, always by full path.
• DB.md ## Agent instructions is short and direct. A handful of lines is typical; more than a screenful is a smell.
• DB.md ## Schemas documents the type-specific fields, one field per line, so dbmd validate can enforce them.
• DB.md ## Policies lists the small set of things the agent should leave alone: frozen pages and ignored types.
