Update durable context with the Brain Write node

Archive the prior version and deliberately replace a bound Brain record—or create a new record on run—from connected text.

Where: Flowgen → Add → Words & data → Brain Write

Before you start

• The connected content should be complete and reviewed; Brain Write replaces the current record body after archiving it.

Key ideas

• Archive before overwrite: Writing snapshots the previous markdown before replacing it, preserving record history even though the current content changes.
• Bind or create: Target an existing record, or configure kind/title/scope so the node creates a new record when it runs.
• Pass-through output: The written markdown also continues downstream, allowing the flow to use the exact content it persisted.
• Brain Write / Brand · Write / Business Details · Write / Persona · Write / Dataset · Write / Document · Write card: RecordWriteNode uses the authored shared-card path. Update a bound Brain record or create a typed record from incoming content/fields.
• Properties sidebar: Card-owned record controls; common properties shell
• Opened surfaces: RecordNodePicker; CreateRecordFromNodeDialog; Brain record editor

Steps

1. Connect the final reviewed markdown/text to content_in.
2. Choose an existing target record, or configure create-on-run with kind, title, and org/project scope.
3. Place Pause for Approval before the writer when the update changes shared/authoritative context.
4. Run, verify the record in Brain, and connect the pass-through output only if later stages should consume the saved version.

Brain Write / Brand · Write / Business Details · Write / Persona · Write / Dataset · Write / Document · Write controls and presets

• Add path: Flowgen → Add → Inputs / Brand / Research presets → Write.
• Card: RecordWriteNode.
• Properties: Card-owned record controls; common properties shell.
• Controls: Scope; record type; record picker/create; field inputs; title/content; archive then write.
• Opened surfaces: RecordNodePicker; CreateRecordFromNodeDialog; Brain record editor.
• Brain Write: No preferred type filter.
• Brand · Write: preferredTypeId brand.
• Business Details · Write: preferredTypeId profile.
• Persona · Write: preferredTypeId persona.
• Dataset · Write: preferredTypeId dataset.
• Document · Write: preferredTypeId generic.

Tips

• Prefer project scope for workflow-specific knowledge and org scope only for genuinely shared context.
• Gate automated writes to brand/persona/business records behind approval.

Troubleshooting

A new record was created instead of updating the intended one

Bind the target record explicitly and disable create-on-run configuration before rerunning.
