Data model: Respellion Learning Platform

Overview

All structured data lives in PocketBase (SQLite). There is no vector store — retrieval is computed at runtime with a local TF-IDF index over topics (src/lib/retrieval.js).

Schema is defined by JS migrations in pb_migrations/ (applied automatically by the PocketBase binary) and mirrored for local bootstrap in scripts/setup-pb-collections.mjs. The data-access layer is src/lib/db.js.

All collections use PocketBase's auto id, plus created / updated autodate fields unless noted otherwise.

PocketBase collections

topics

Knowledge graph nodes. Created during ingestion, enriched for curriculum.

Field	Type	Notes
id	text	kebab-case slug (e.g. holacratic-roles)
label	text	display name
type	text	concept · role · process (ingestion); fact is excluded from learning
description	text	1–2 sentence summary
learning_relevance	text	core · standard · peripheral · exclude
relevance_locked	bool	if true, re-ingestion will not overwrite learning_relevance
theme	text	subject grouping (used by curriculum generation)
complexity_weight	number	1–5 (curriculum ordering)
difficulty	text	introductory · intermediate · advanced

Topics with type='fact' or learning_relevance='exclude' are filtered out of learning, micro-learning, curriculum, and test selection.

---

relations

Knowledge graph edges between topics.

Field	Type	Notes
source	text	topic id
target	text	topic id
type	text	related_to · depends_on · part_of · executed_by

Edges are de-duplicated on the (source, target, type) tuple.

---

content

On-demand long-form learning content, one record per topic.

Field	Type	Notes
topic_id	text	topic this content belongs to
data	json	merged object — only generated types are present

data shape (each key generated independently and shallow-merged):

{
  "article":     { "title", "intro", "sections": [{ "heading", "body" }], "keyTakeaways": [] },
  "slides":      [ { "title", "bullets": [], "speakerNote" } ],
  "infographic": { "headline", "tagline", "stats": [{ "value", "label", "icon" }],
                   "steps": [{ "number", "title", "description", "icon" }], "quote", "colorTheme" }
}

There is no podcast key. The podcast type was removed.

---

micro_learnings

Generated micro-learning artifacts. One record per topic per type.

Field	Type	Notes
topic_id	relation → topics	cascade delete
type	select	concept_explainer · scenario_quiz · flashcard_set
content	json	structured output, schema varies per type
status	select	draft · published (only published is visible to employees)

Content JSON per type:

// concept_explainer
{ "sections": [ { "title": "string", "content": "string (HTML: <p>, <ul>, <li>, <strong>)" } ] }   // ≥3 sections

// scenario_quiz
{ "scenario": "string",
  "options": [ { "text": "string", "isCorrect": true, "explanation": "string" } ] }                 // 3–4 options, exactly 1 correct

// flashcard_set
{ "cards": [ { "front": "string", "back": "string" } ] }                                            // 5–10 cards

A former reflection_prompt type was dropped and is no longer generated.

---

micro_learning_completions

Append-only completion events. Never updated or deleted.

Field	Type	Notes
team_member_id	relation → team_members	the employee
micro_learning_id	relation → micro_learnings	the artifact completed
topic_id	relation → topics	denormalized topic
type	text	type at time of completion
session_week	number	the user's absolute curriculum week (week 1 = day they enrolled)

The 26-week slot and cycle are derived from session_week; there is no stored cycle field.

---

curriculum_versions

Versioned 26-week schedules. New version on each (re)generation.

Field	Type	Notes
version_number	number	increments per generation
status	text	draft · active · superseded (exactly one active)
generation_reason	text	why this version was created
confirmed_by	text	admin id who activated it
confirmed_at	text	ISO datetime
schedule	json	array of 26 week objects (below)
coverage_stats	json	{ themes_kb, themes_scheduled, topics_kb, topics_scheduled }

schedule[] week object:

{ "week_number": 1,              // 1..26
  "theme": "string",
  "topic_ids": ["topic-id"],     // 1+ topic ids
  "estimated_duration": 30,      // 15..45 minutes
  "week_rationale": "string" }

---

team_members

Registered users with PIN auth. This is the auth + employee record.

Field	Type	Notes
name	text	display name
pin	text	login PIN
role	text	admin or empty/employee
curriculum_started_at	date	timestamp the user enrolled (week 1 anchor); empty until enrolled
enrollment_status	text	not_started · active

A user is gated through the /onboarding screen until enrollment_status='active' (admins are exempt when heading to the admin panel).

---

sources

Uploaded source documents and their extraction status.

Field	Type	Notes
name	text	original filename
status	text	processing · completed · failed · cancelled
error	text	failure message, if any
progress	json	{ current, total, message } during chunked extraction

---

leaderboard

Points ledger, one row per user.

Field	Type	Notes
user_id	text	team member id
name	text	display name
points	number	cumulative (+2 per correct quiz answer)
tests_completed	number	count of completed tests
learnings_completed	number	reserved counter

Admins are filtered out of the public leaderboard at render time.

---

settings

App-wide key/value store.

Field	Type	Notes
key	text	setting key
value	text	stringified value

---

llm_calls

Best-effort telemetry for every Anthropic call (written by callLLM).

Field	Type	Notes
task	text	logging label (e.g. learning.article, chat.r42)
model	text	resolved model string
tier	text	fast · standard · reasoning
duration_ms	number	wall-clock
input_tokens / output_tokens	number	usage
cache_read_tokens / cache_create_tokens	number	prompt-cache usage
stop_reason	text	end_turn · tool_use · max_tokens
ok	bool	success flag
error_msg	text	error, if any

---

Dropped / legacy collections

These existed in earlier iterations and have been removed. Their db.js helpers remain as deprecated no-op stubs — do not build on them:

quiz_banks, quiz_results, quiz_cache, learn_progress, and the v1 curriculum collection.

---

Client-side storage (not PocketBase)

localStorage is used only for admin/browser-local state:

Key	Purpose
admin:model:{fast,standard,reasoning}	per-tier model overrides (legacy admin:model)
admin:use_simulation	stub LLM responses instead of calling Anthropic
kb:suggestions	R42 graph-delta suggestion queue (managed via kbStore)
quiz:active:{userId}	mid-quiz flag (hides R42)
chat:thread:{userId}	R42 conversation, capped at 50 messages

sessionStorage.respellion_session holds the logged-in team member id.

---

Retrieval (no vector DB)

R42 context is built by src/lib/retrieval.js:

buildIndex(topics)         → TF-IDF index over (label + description), cached by array ref
retrieveTopK(index, q, k)  → top-K topics, score = Σ (1 + log(tf)) · log((N+1)/(df+1))

src/components/chat/rag.js combines top-K results with verbatim topic mentions, filters relations to the retrieved set, and injects limited deep content for explicitly named topics.
