SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a vault-ready note from existing notes or inline content with consistent frontmatter and a navigable folder structure.
  • Support integration into an existing note or filing as a new note with proper metadata and links.
  • Works with Obsidian-driven vaults and MCP-style templates, aligning with AGENTS.md for routing and organization.
