SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Obsidian-system-notes helps you construct a clear knowledge hierarchy inside Obsidian by creating thematic hubs (meta-notes), research questions (problems), and aggregation points (hierarchies). It emphasizes that categories are human-managed and never created automatically.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Meta-note: acts as a thematic hub stored under base/_meta-notes/ with tag system/high/meta and category linkage.
  • Problem: decomposed sub-questions under a meta-note, stored under base/_problems/ and linked to a specific meta-note and category.
  • Hierarchy: aggregators that group related notes under the same category, attached to category/meta/problem as appropriate, stored under base/_hierarchy/.
  • Workflow: dynamic linking guided by discovery of existing notes; prohibits creating new categories; ensures category, meta, and problem relationships follow the defined chain.
  • Naming Rules: same as regular notes; lowercase; unique; no dates or pronouns.

Quick Start

Organize your knowledge area by creating a new meta-note, then link a corresponding problem and a hierarchy.

Frequently Asked Questions about obsidian-system-notes

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure knowledge hierarchy in Obsidian using meta-notes?▼

Structure knowledge hierarchy in Obsidian by creating thematic hubs as meta-notes under base/_meta-notes, linking them to corresponding problems and hierarchies with strict frontmatter fields and naming conventions to ensure vault-wide discoverability.

What is the best way to organize research questions in an Obsidian vault?▼

Organize research questions in Obsidian by creating problem notes under base/_problems and linking each to a specific meta-note thematic hub. This decomposes broad topics into structured sub-questions following defined category relationships.

Can I automatically generate categories for my Obsidian notes?▼

No, categories in Obsidian are strictly human-managed and never created automatically. The system enforces this by prohibiting new category creation during the workflow, ensuring you manually maintain the category, meta-note, and problem relationship chain.

How do I group related notes under the same category in Obsidian?▼

Group related notes in Obsidian by creating hierarchy aggregators under base/_hierarchy that attach to categories, meta-notes, or problems. These aggregation points enforce structured linking and maintain consistent relationships across the knowledge base.

What naming conventions should system notes follow in Obsidian?▼

System notes in Obsidian should follow lowercase, unique naming rules without dates or pronouns. These conventions apply to meta-notes, problems, and hierarchies alike, ensuring safe linking and structural consistency across the vault.

Why are my Obsidian system notes not linking correctly across categories?▼

Obsidian system notes fail to link correctly when the defined chain between category, meta-note, and problem is broken. The system enforces safe linking by discovering existing notes dynamically and prohibiting new category creation to maintain relationship integrity.
