Obsidian Vault

Vault location

/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/

Mostly flat at root level.

Naming conventions

  • Index notes: aggregate related topics (e.g., Ralph Wiggum Index.md, Skills Index.md, RAG Index.md)
  • Title case for all note names
  • No folders for organization - use links and index notes instead

Linking

  • Use Obsidian [[wikilinks]] syntax: [[Note Title]]
  • Notes link to dependencies/related notes at the bottom
  • Index notes are just lists of [[wikilinks]]

Workflows

Search for notes

Copy & paste โ€” that's it
# Search by filename
find "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/" -name "*.md" | grep -i "keyword"

# Search by content
grep -rl "keyword" "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/" --include="*.md"

Or use Grep/Glob tools directly on the vault path.

Create a new note

  1. Use Title Case for filename
  2. Write content as a unit of learning (per vault rules)
  3. Add [[wikilinks]] to related notes at the bottom
  4. If part of a numbered sequence, use the hierarchical numbering scheme

Find related notes

Search for [[Note Title]] across the vault to find backlinks:

Copy & paste โ€” that's it
grep -rl "\\[\\[Note Title\\]\\]" "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/"

Find index notes

Copy & paste โ€” that's it
find "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/" -name "*Index*"
