SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

  • Use case: You want to quickly locate a concept, add a new research note, and ensure it’s discoverable via an existing Index note rather than creating duplicates or losing context.

Quick Start

Tell the AI you want to search the Obsidian vault for a topic, then create a new Title Case note and link it to the appropriate index notes using wikilinks.
