Obsidian Vault

A personal-workflow integration. It assumes your notes live in an Obsidian vault on disk and operates on them with the standard Read/Glob/Grep tools plus shell.

Vault location

Set OBSIDIAN_VAULT in .env (see .env.example), then source it in your shell (set -a; . ./.env; set +a) so the commands below resolve $OBSIDIAN_VAULT:

# .env
OBSIDIAN_VAULT="$HOME/Documents/notes"   # adjust to your vault

Typical subfolders (rename to match yours):

• Daily Logbook/: daily notes (managed by /daily-note)
• Templates/: note templates (e.g., Daily Log.md)

Naming conventions

• Index notes: aggregate related topics (e.g., Skills Index.md, RAG Index.md)
• Title Case for all note names
• Daily notes use YYYY-MM-DD.md and live under Daily Logbook/

Linking

• Use Obsidian [[wikilinks]] syntax: [[Note Title]]
• Notes link to dependencies/related notes at the bottom
• Index notes are just lists of [[wikilinks]]

Workflows

Search for notes

# Search by filename
find "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT" -name "*.md" | grep -i "keyword"

# Search by content
grep -rl "keyword" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT" --include="*.md"

Or use the Grep/Glob tools directly on $OBSIDIAN_VAULT.

Create a new note

1. Use Title Case for the filename
2. Write content as a unit of learning
3. Add [[wikilinks]] to related notes at the bottom
4. Place it in the appropriate subfolder (or the vault root for general index/topic notes)

Find related notes

Search for [[Note Title]] across the vault to find backlinks:

grep -rl "\\[\\[Note Title\\]\\]" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT"

Find index notes

find "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT" -name "*Index*"
