Obsidian Second Brain

Use Obsidian-flavored Markdown and preserve vault conventions.

Note Workflow

1. Identify the vault path and existing note style.
2. Add YAML properties only when useful: title, date, tags, aliases, status, source.
3. Use wikilinks for internal notes: [[Note]], [[Note#Heading]], [[Note|label]].
4. Use standard Markdown links for external URLs.
5. Use callouts sparingly for decisions, warnings, sources, and tasks.
6. Keep tags consistent and hierarchical where the vault already does that.

Useful Syntax

tags:

Research Capture

• Separate facts, interpretation, decisions, and open questions.
• Attribute claims with source links and retrieval dates when freshness matters.
• Create backlinks to projects, people, and domains so notes become findable later.
