SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Obsidian-system-notes helps you construct a clear knowledge hierarchy inside Obsidian by creating thematic hubs (meta-notes), research questions (problems), and aggregation points (hierarchies). It emphasizes that categories are human-managed and never created automatically.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Meta-note: acts as a thematic hub stored under base/_meta-notes/ with tag system/high/meta and category linkage.
  • Problem: decomposed sub-questions under a meta-note, stored under base/_problems/ and linked to a specific meta-note and category.
  • Hierarchy: aggregators that group related notes under the same category, attached to category/meta/problem as appropriate, stored under base/_hierarchy/.
  • Workflow: dynamic linking guided by discovery of existing notes; prohibits creating new categories; ensures category, meta, and problem relationships follow the defined chain.
  • Naming Rules: same as regular notes; lowercase; unique; no dates or pronouns.

Quick Start

Organize your knowledge area by creating a new meta-note, then link a corresponding problem and a hierarchy.

Frequently Asked Questions about obsidian-system-notes

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure knowledge hierarchy in Obsidian using meta-notes?

Structure knowledge hierarchy in Obsidian by creating thematic hubs as meta-notes under base/_meta-notes, linking them to corresponding problems and hierarchies with strict frontmatter fields and naming conventions to ensure vault-wide discoverability.

What is the best way to organize research questions in an Obsidian vault?

Organize research questions in Obsidian by creating problem notes under base/_problems and linking each to a specific meta-note thematic hub. This decomposes broad topics into structured sub-questions following defined category relationships.

Can I automatically generate categories for my Obsidian notes?

No, categories in Obsidian are strictly human-managed and never created automatically. The system enforces this by prohibiting new category creation during the workflow, ensuring you manually maintain the category, meta-note, and problem relationship chain.

How do I group related notes under the same category in Obsidian?

Group related notes in Obsidian by creating hierarchy aggregators under base/_hierarchy that attach to categories, meta-notes, or problems. These aggregation points enforce structured linking and maintain consistent relationships across the knowledge base.

What naming conventions should system notes follow in Obsidian?

System notes in Obsidian should follow lowercase, unique naming rules without dates or pronouns. These conventions apply to meta-notes, problems, and hierarchies alike, ensuring safe linking and structural consistency across the vault.

Why are my Obsidian system notes not linking correctly across categories?

Obsidian system notes fail to link correctly when the defined chain between category, meta-note, and problem is broken. The system enforces safe linking by discovering existing notes dynamically and prohibiting new category creation to maintain relationship integrity.
