Generate Transfer Manifest

Purpose

Package all current research output so it can be transferred via USB to the Vertix Solutions primary machine. This skill scans qmi-kb/, counts notes per domain, checks for formatting issues, and produces a clean transfer package ready to copy.

---

Steps

Step 1 — Determine Today's Date

Get the current date for the package folder name: qmi-research-transfer-[YYYY-MM-DD]

Step 2 — Scan qmi-kb/

For each subdirectory in qmi-kb/:

• Count total notes across all .md files in that directory
• Note the domain slug (folder name)
• Check that frontmatter is present on note files — flag any files missing domain: or source: fields
• Identify the lane target from the lane registry (see research-engine skill) — calculate the gap

Step 3 — Map to Valid Domain Slugs

Confirm every folder name matches one of the 8 registered domain slugs exactly:

• microsoft-365-administration
• entra-id-identity-management
• itsm-frameworks-itil
• hubspot-crm-administration
• netsuite-erp-operations
• powershell-windows-automation
• microsoft-graph-api
• it-helpdesk-operations

Any folder that doesn't match → mark as unmapped in the receipt. Do not rename it — flag it for the receiving machine to classify.

Step 4 — Create the Transfer Package

Create this structure in the working directory (or wherever the user's output folder is):

qmi-research-transfer-[YYYY-MM-DD]/
  TRANSFER-RECEIPT.md
  microsoft-365-administration/     ← copy of qmi-kb/microsoft-365-administration/
  entra-id-identity-management/
  [etc. for each domain with notes]
  unmapped/                         ← any folders that didn't match a slug (if any)

Only include domain folders that actually contain notes. Empty folders are excluded.

Step 5 — Write TRANSFER-RECEIPT.md

# QMi Research Transfer Receipt

**Package ID:** QMI-XFER-[YYYY-MM-DD]-001
**Generated:** [YYYY-MM-DD]
**Source Machine:** QMi Security Innovations
**Protocol:** XFER-001 v1.0

## Domain Summary

| Domain Slug | Notes Produced | Target | Gap | Status |
|-------------|---------------|--------|-----|--------|
| microsoft-365-administration | [N] | 60 | [N] | [Partial / Complete / Not started] |
| entra-id-identity-management | [N] | 60 | [N] | [...] |
| itsm-frameworks-itil | [N] | 60 | [N] | [...] |
| hubspot-crm-administration | [N] | 60 | [N] | [...] |
| netsuite-erp-operations | [N] | 60 | [N] | [...] |
| powershell-windows-automation | [N] | 60 | [N] | [...] |
| microsoft-graph-api | [N] | 60 | [N] | [...] |
| it-helpdesk-operations | [N] | 50 | [N] | [...] |

**Total notes transferred:** [sum]
**Total target:** 470

## Unmapped Domains (if any)

[List any folders that didn't match a registered slug — include folder name and note count]

## Anomalies & Notes for Receiving Machine

[List any files with missing frontmatter, formatting issues, or research quality flags.
If none: "None — all files passed basic checks."]

## Instructions for Receiving Machine

1. Drop this entire folder into `infosphere/org-memory/transfer-protocols/inbound/`
2. Tell Claude: "Run the QMi research ingest"
3. Claude will validate domain slugs, check for duplicates, and import to `knowledgebase/01-domains/`

Step 6 — Confirm to User

Tell the user:

• Package folder name and location
• Total notes included and breakdown by domain
• Any anomalies to be aware of
• Exactly what to copy to USB: the entire qmi-research-transfer-[YYYY-MM-DD] folder
• Where to drop it on the receiving machine: infosphere/org-memory/transfer-protocols/inbound/
