Obsidian Research Log
Use this skill to keep project planning and daily progress synchronized.
Role in the workflow
This is a supporting skill under obsidian-project-memory.
Prefer a small number of durable updates over creating extra planning folders.
Default targets
Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md01-Plan.md00-Hub.md recent progress block.claude/project-memory/<project_id>.md
Rules
- Convert vague TODOs into concrete checkbox lists in
01-Plan.md when they become durable commitments.
- Preserve chronology in
Daily/: append dated blocks instead of rewriting history.
- Link daily notes to touched experiments, papers, results, and writing notes when the destination is already canonical.
- If a meeting note is only temporary, keep it in
Daily/ first.
- If meeting output becomes durable project knowledge, summarize and route it into
Knowledge/, Writing/, or 01-Plan.md instead of creating a default Meetings/ folder.
- Prefer updating existing canonical notes over spawning parallel task notes.
Main judgment rule
Daily logs are for process.
If a note will still matter after several days or weeks, promote the durable part into Knowledge/, Experiments/, Results/, or Writing/.
