SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guides researchers in building and reasoning with structured discourse graphs within Obsidian, reducing cognitive load and keeping a consistent note taxonomy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Node typing: defines standard discourse node types (question, context, observation, claim, evidence, synthesis) to standardize notes.
  • Hierarchy guidance: suggests parent-child relationships and validation checks to ensure every claim has evidence.
  • Workspace integration: explains how to structure hierarchy in base/_hierarchy and how to organize node notes in base/notes.
  • Advisory workflow: outlines steps to search vault notes, propose node placements, and validate structure before content creation.

Quick Start

Describe your research topic and I will map the discourse graph and connect notes accordingly.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure research notes in Obsidian for argumentation?

A discourse graph structures research notes in Obsidian by defining standard node types like question, claim, and evidence, then organizing them into base/notes directories. It enforces valid parent-child relationships to maintain a consistent argumentation taxonomy.

How do I validate that my Obsidian research claims have supporting evidence?

Validate evidence for claims by applying hierarchy validation checks within your Obsidian discourse graph. This advisory workflow suggests parent-child relationships and enforces structural rules ensuring every claim connects to relevant evidence nodes.

Can I use this Skill to automatically generate and edit notes inside my Obsidian vault?

No, this Skill operates as an advisory workflow that outputs guidance and maps discourse structures without creating or editing content unless explicitly requested. It suggests node placements and validates structure before any content generation occurs.

What is the best way to organize a literature review using discourse graphs in Obsidian?

Organize a literature review by standardizing notes into discourse node types such as context, observation, and synthesis. Configure hierarchy in base/_hierarchy and organize node notes in base/notes to consistently map structured arguments.

Do I need any specific plugins to build a discourse graph in Obsidian?

No specific plugins are required as dependencies. The Skill defines frontmatter-driven node types and hierarchy validation checks that integrate directly with standard Obsidian vault structures and markdown files.
