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

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

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