Obsidian Vault

Vault location

/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/

Mostly flat at root level.

Naming conventions

Index notes: aggregate related topics (e.g., Ralph Wiggum Index.md, Skills Index.md, RAG Index.md)

Title case for all note names

No folders for organization - use links and index notes instead

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 "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/" -name "*.md" | grep -i "keyword"

# Search by content

grep -rl "keyword" "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/" --include="*.md"

Or use Grep/Glob tools directly on the vault path.

Create a new note

Use Title Case for filename

Write content as a unit of learning (per vault rules)

Add [[wikilinks]] to related notes at the bottom

If part of a numbered sequence, use the hierarchical numbering scheme

Find related notes

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

grep -rl "\\[\\[Note Title\\]\\]" "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/"

Find index notes

find "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/" -name "*Index*"
