SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Large lecture notes in an Obsidian vault become bloated and hard to navigate, burying reusable concepts, definitions, and theorems inside a single monolithic file that cannot be linked or reused elsewhere. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Atomic note extraction: Pulls self-contained concepts, definitions, and theorems out of a lecture into separate notes named <Discipline> – <Concept>.md, with proper frontmatter (tags, aliases, up/down links). - Lecture-to-TOC transformation: Replaces each extracted section in the original lecture with a short summary plus a wikilink, turning the lecture into a table of contents while preserving LaTeX formulas verbatim. - Vault integration: Routes finished facts to a knowledge base folder and uncertain concepts to an inbox, updates the lecture's down links, and updates a discipline MOC if one exists. - Use Case: After a linear algebra lecture, ask the skill to process the notes — it creates notes like ВышМат – Транспонированная матрица.md, links them from the lecture, and leaves the original file as a navigable outline. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to process a specific lecture note in your Obsidian vault and extract its key concepts into separate linked notes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I split a large Obsidian lecture note into smaller notes?

Ask the skill to process the lecture note. It identifies extractable concepts, definitions, and theorems, creates atomic notes named '<Discipline> – <Concept>.md', and replaces each extracted section in the original with a short summary plus a wikilink.

How many lecture notes can be processed at once?

The skill processes a maximum of three lecture notes per run to keep extraction quality high. If you name more, it asks which three to handle first and defers the rest to a follow-up run.

Does the skill preserve LaTeX formulas when extracting notes?

Yes. Content is transferred verbatim, including LaTeX formulas, which are never simplified or rewritten. The original lecture is also never deleted or moved to an archive.

Where do the extracted Obsidian notes get saved?

Self-contained facts like definitions and theorems go to the topic's knowledge base folder with #thought and #lecture tags. Conceptual topics needing more links go to the inbox with #inbox/review. When in doubt, the skill defaults to the inbox.

What happens if a note with the same concept already exists?

The skill greps the vault before creating any file. If a matching note already exists, it does not create a duplicate and only updates the links pointing to the existing note.
