Pre-Creation Checklist

ALWAYS run before creating any note:

1. Search First (必须先搜索)

Before creating, search:
1. Exact name match
2. Partial/fuzzy match
3. Chinese/English equivalent
4. Related notes that might contain this info

If found:

• Existing note → Ask: "已有 [[X]]，要打开还是新建？"
• Related note → Ask: "在 [[Y]] 中有相关内容，要扩展还是新建？"

2. Determine Note Type

Clues	Type
Name of person, "met", "talked to"	Person
"went to", "visited", address, venue	Place
"reading", "book by", author mention	Book
"watched", "movie", "show", "series"	Movie/TV
"listening to", "album", "song"	Music
Goal + deadline, actionable	Project
Ongoing responsibility	Area note
Reference material, how-to	Resource

3. Ask for Minimum Info

Type	Required	Optional
Person	Name, Relationship	Location, Company
Place	Name, Type	Address, Why I go
Book	Title, Author	Status, Rating
Movie	Title	Year, Status
Project	Name, Goal	Deadline

4. Create with Template

Route to appropriate skill:

• Person → people-manager
• Book/Movie/Music → media-library
• Daily/Weekly/Monthly → daily-journal
• Project → project-builder
• Place → (create directly, template below)

5. Link Strategy (必须执行)

重要：创建笔记后 立即 执行 Post-Creation Auto-Linking。

详细流程参考 CLAUDE.md 中的 "4. Post-Creation Auto-Linking" 部分。

快速检查清单：

✅ Step 0: 搜索是否已存在 (Obsidian CLI 优先)
   - bash obs.sh search "query=NoteName" limit=5
   - FALLBACK: Grep for 'NoteName' across *.md

✅ Step 1: 查找相关 MOC
   - 参考 CLAUDE.md 中的 MOC 路由表
   - 或用 Glob 搜索: _*MOC*.md

✅ Step 2: 更新 MOC
   - MOC 中添加新笔记链接
   - 新笔记 frontmatter 后添加 [[MOC名]] 回链

✅ Step 3: 建立双向链接
   - bash obs.sh backlinks file="Related Note"  (查找相关笔记)
   - FALLBACK: Grep for '\[\[Related Note' across *.md
   - 在相关笔记中添加链接到新笔记
   - 在新笔记中添加链接到相关笔记

✅ Step 4: 报告
   - 告诉用户完成了哪些链接操作

不要跳过这一步！ 链接是笔记价值的核心。

Type Detection Logic

When user says "create note for X" without specifying type:

1. Check context:
   - Recent conversation mentions (person? place? media?)
   - Nearby keywords ("met", "went to", "watched")

2. Check name patterns:
   - Capitalized words → likely Person or Place
   - "The X" → likely Movie/Show/Book
   - Contains "Library/Cafe/Park" → Place

3. If ambiguous, ask:
   "X 是什么类型？"
   1. 人物 (Person)
   2. 地点 (Place)
   3. 书籍 (Book)
   4. 电影/剧集 (Movie/TV)
   5. 其他 (Other)

Workflows

Universal Create

User says: "create note" / "new note" / "建立笔记"

Workflow:

1. Ask: "What/who is it?"
2. Detect type from response
3. If ambiguous, ask for type
4. Run pre-creation search
5. If no conflict, gather minimum info
6. Route to appropriate skill/template
7. Create note
8. Run post-creation linking

Batch Create

User says: "create notes for A, B, C"

Workflow:

1. Parse entity list
2. Detect type for each
3. Group by type
4. Show summary: "将创建: 2个人物, 1个地点"
5. Confirm
6. Create all, show results

Create from Journal

Triggered by: daily-journal entity detection

Workflow:

1. Receive entities from daily-journal
2. For each: run pre-creation check
3. Group new entities by type
4. Ask once for all
5. Create selected
6. Update journal with links

Routing Table

Type	Skill	Folder	Naming
Person	people-manager	30_Resources/People/	@Name.md
Place	(direct)	30_Resources/Places/	Name.md
Book	media-library	30_Resources/Books/	Title - Author.md
Movie/TV	media-library	30_Resources/Entertainment/	Title (Year).md
Music	media-library	30_Resources/Entertainment/Music/	Album - Artist.md
Paper	media-library	30_Resources/Electrical-Engineering/Papers/	Title.md
Project	project-builder	10_Projects/	Project Name.md
Daily	daily-journal	50_Journal/YYYY/	YYYY-MM-DD.md
MOC	moc-manager	(varies)	_name MOC.md

Integration

This skill coordinates with:

• obsidian-format: Formatting rules (frontmatter, tags, links, dates) - always follow
• daily-journal: Receives detected entities, returns created notes
• people-manager: Delegates person creation
• media-library: Delegates book/movie/music creation
• project-builder: Delegates project creation
• moc-manager: Updates MOCs after creation

Example Session

User: create note for Sarah

Claude: 搜索中... 未找到 "Sarah" 相关笔记。

Sarah 是什么类型？
1. 人物 (Person)
2. 其他

User: 1

Claude: 好的，创建人物笔记。

几个问题：
- 关系？(朋友/同事/家人)
- 在哪？(城市)

User: 朋友，Sydney

Claude: ✅ 已创建 30_Resources/People/@Sarah.md
- 已添加到 [[_300 people MOC]]
- 今天的日志已更新链接

Verify after writing

After creating a note, confirm it landed correctly instead of assuming:

1. Re-read the created file. Frontmatter tags must be block-style (tags: then - person), not inline [a, b], and the type-defining tag must be present.
2. The note must sit in the folder its type implies, with the naming convention applied (@Name.md for people, YYYY-MM-DD.md for dailies).
3. If you added [[wikilinks]] (e.g. to a MOC or today's journal), run python "80_Code/scripts/generate-link-index.py" --broken and fix any link you introduced.

Report what you created with its path. If any check fails, fix it before reporting done.
