# Midimaze Education Portal
Educational knowledge base for Recording Arts & Technology, maintained by Nakul Tiruviluamala at Southwestern College.
## For AI Coding Agents
**Start here:** Read `/AGENTS.md` for vault-wide conventions, file placement rules, and frontmatter standards.
**Key principles:**
1. Always confirm directory location before creating files
2. Use standard frontmatter with Pacific Time timestamps
3. Public knowledge → main vault; personal/SWC work → `_Nakul/`
4. Check for nested `AGENTS.md` files when working in specialized directories
**Nested contexts:**
- `_Nakul/3. SWC Actions/AGENTS.md` - Canvas LMS, course management
- `_Nakul/5. Coding Actions/AGENTS.md` - Web projects, development tools
## For Humans
This Obsidian vault contains:
- **Audio engineering** - Recording techniques, acoustics, equipment theory
- **Music education** - Theory, composition, orchestration
- **Computer science** - Programming, networking, DevOps
- **Course materials** - RA&T course blogs and resources
- **Studio documentation** - Southwestern College studio guides
**Public site:** [midimaze.com](https://midimaze.com) (generated from this vault)
