This is the content of a store itself: the consolidated artifacts that capture your expertise, and the sources of raw material they’re built from.

​
Artifacts

Artifacts are what a store actually knows: the clean, structured output Clara consolidates from your interviews and sources, and what AI clients draw on. You don’t usually edit them by hand, you refine them through Work with Clara. Every artifact has a purpose (what it is for) and a format (how it is stored and shown). Clara proposes a starting set when you scope the project, typically a brief, a project plan, a mental map, general knowledge, playbooks and a library description, and you add custom artifacts for anything your methodology needs, such as a process blueprint or a business rules table. The purposes vary by project; the formats are fixed.

​
Formats

  • Document: free-form text with sections and lists. Used by the brief, project plan, general knowledge and library description.
  • Concept map: a graph of domains, classes and relations. Used by the mental map.
  • Playbook list: an ordered set of stepped workflows.
  • Design template list: a collection of output templates.
  • Process diagram: a BPMN 2.0 diagram, the usual format for a process blueprint.
  • Table: rows and typed columns, the usual format for business rules or any curated reference list.
Artifacts are versioned and keep the evidence they were built from. Where two contributors disagree, both versions are kept and flagged. When an AI client consumes the store through the Clarifeye skill, or when you use Chat or Task inside Clarifeye, these artifacts guide the answers. Keeping them accurate, through Work with Clara and signals, is what keeps the store trustworthy.

​
Sources

Sources are the written material behind a store. Alongside interviews, they’re the raw input Clara consolidates into artifacts: interviews capture what’s in people’s heads, sources capture what’s already written down. They come in two kinds:
  • Uploaded documents: PDFs, docs, slides, and spreadsheets you have on hand.
  • Connected sources: content pulled from Google Drive, SharePoint, and other connectors, kept in sync as it changes.
Sources aren’t consumed raw, Clarifeye processes them so the knowledge inside becomes retrievable. An out-of-date source is itself a signal worth raising, and retiring a source that no longer applies matters as much as adding new ones.
