SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Unprocessed notes pile up in the Obsidian inbox folder (00. Входящие) without types, tags, aliases, or links, making the knowledge base hard to navigate and search. This Skill runs the full processing cycle for each inbox note so it lands in the right PARA folder with complete frontmatter. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note typing: Classifies each note as an atomic thought, MOC, person, book/article/video, project, meeting, conference note, or journal entry, and assigns the matching structural tag. - Frontmatter enrichment: Fills in aliases, tags, and the up/down/other/links connection fields, linking to existing notes and MOCs found via vault-wide search. - PARA placement: Moves the file into the correct folder (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive) and removes the #inbox/review tag. - Safe archiving: Never deletes notes — outdated ones are moved to 04. Архив/ with the #archive tag and all links preserved. - Use Case: After a week of capturing quick notes, ask the assistant to process the inbox; each note gets typed, tagged, linked to relevant MOCs, and filed into the correct PARA location. ## Quick Start Process all notes in my Obsidian inbox folder, determine each note's type, add tags and links, and move them into the right PARA folders.

FAQPage Schema
How do I process inbox notes in Obsidian automatically?

Run the inbox processing workflow on the `00. Входящие` folder: each note is read, classified by type (thought, resource, person, project, meeting, conference, journal), enriched with tags and aliases, linked to related notes, and moved into the correct PARA folder.

How to organize Obsidian notes with the PARA method?

PARA sorts notes into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archive. The skill maps each note type to a folder — projects to `01. Проекты/`, knowledge notes to `03. Ресурсы/<Тема>/База знаний/`, outdated notes to `04. Архив/` — and applies the matching structural tag.

Does processing inbox notes delete any of my Obsidian notes?

No, notes are never deleted. Outdated or irrelevant notes are moved to `04. Архив/` and tagged with `#archive`, preserving all existing wikilinks and connections so nothing is lost.

What frontmatter fields does Obsidian note enrichment add?

Enrichment fills in `aliases` (synonyms, English variants, abbreviations), `tags` (structural plus domain tags), and link fields: `up` for the parent topic or MOC, `down` for derived notes, `other` for horizontal links, and `links` for external URLs only.

What happens when a note type has no target folder in PARA?

For types without a designated folder, such as person or conference notes, the workflow pauses and asks the user where the note should live instead of guessing a location.
