Step 1 of 5
Title & Identity *
Choose the record type, enter the title, and confirm the slug.
Title * is required before moving forward.
Give the record a real name. This should identify a concept, person, work, structure, tool, technique, or another real knowledge unit.
Title looks real enough to continue using.
Choose the kind of knowledge object this record is becoming.
Record type helps define behavior later.
Type guidance
A concept explains an idea, a person explains a human source, a work points to a song or piece, a tool points to something used, and a structure helps describe how pieces fit together.
Choose how this record should be treated.
Public = open, private = restricted.

Slug is clean.
Choose the larger parent area where this record belongs.
Selected shelf description: Concepts, structures, and references that explain how music is built.
Choose the more specific area inside the selected shelf.
Section gives the record a real structural home and feeds the final output model.
Shelf guidance
Shelves should stay broad and stable. Pick the larger knowledge family, not the smallest possible detail.
Section guidance
Sections narrow the placement. They help this record earn a precise home without cluttering the top-level structure.
Explain why this record belongs in this shelf and section. This is your intention layer and helps prevent messy growth later.
Placement reason is strong enough to justify the location.
Description readiness
The Description step now uses the same rule as the final validation: at least 7 words and at least 40 characters.
Write what this record is, why it matters, and what kind of knowledge it holds. When the checklist below says DONE, press Done with Description.

Relationship starteroptional
Pick both fields to create a starter connection. This step is optional, but adding a relationship helps the metadata brain understand how records connect.
Choose how this record connects to the related record.
Pick a target record, or leave this empty to skip the optional relationship step.
Relationship preview
No related record selected yet. This is optional, but picking one helps show how records will connect.
Future children rule
This record does not automatically become a father just because it exists. It only earns children later if it develops enough real connected content to justify deeper structure.
Current implication
Right now, you are creating a real child record. Father status is not assumed. It must be earned through later growth and connected knowledge.
