effort-store

An effort is a named set of notes produced by one run of a consumer skill: a purchase hunt's requirements and shortlist, a research question's dossier. The notes only make sense together, so they live together, and a later session must be able to find them and pick the work back up. This skill is the contract between consumer skills and wherever the notes physically live.

What a consumer declares

A consumer skill's own document declares two things, once:

• Its root: one word naming where its efforts live (purchases). The backend decides what the root maps to.
• Its note set: the notes an effort of this kind contains, by name.

An effort's name is the subject in a few words, no date: Stand mixer, not 2026-09-12 - Stand mixer. Only a dated sibling of a superseded effort carries a date.
