Addressing

Context Nest uses the contextnest:// URI scheme to address documents, sections, tags, and folders within a vault.

URI format

contextnest://[namespace/]path[#anchor][@checkpoint]

Examples

URIResolves to
contextnest://nodes/architectureThe architecture document
contextnest://nodes/architecture#data-flowThe “Data Flow” heading
contextnest://nodes/architecture@5Architecture at checkpoint 5
contextnest://engineering/All documents in the engineering folder
contextnest://tag/apiAll documents tagged #api
contextnest://search/rate+limitingFull-text search results
contextnest://platform/infra/networkingCross-namespace reference

Use contextnest:// URIs in your document bodies to create cross-references:

For the API design, see [Architecture](contextnest://nodes/architecture-overview).

These links are tracked in context.yaml as relationship edges and used to compute hub documents.

Pinned resolution

Append @N to pin a URI to a specific checkpoint:

contextnest://nodes/architecture@5

This resolves to the version of the document that was current at checkpoint 5, not the latest version.
