# 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) ## Structure ``` / ├── AGENTS.md # AI agent guidelines (START HERE) ├── Home.md # Public homepage ├── _Nakul/ # Private: Personal & SWC work │ ├── 2.
