ProjectConventions

Obsidian project note conventions — base files, embeds, Dataview integration, and frontmatter field definitions.

Template Location

Templates/PARA/Project.md — the canonical project template (static). Templates/PARA/Project.js.md — the Templater version.

Required Structure

Every project note must include these embeds in order:

![[Assets.base]]

---

![[Project.base#Resources]]

---
![[Project.base#Events]]

> [!tasks]- Tasks
>
> ```dataviewjs
> await dv.view("Scripts/Dataview/views/logs");
> await dv.view("Scripts/Dataview/views/tasks");
> ```

## Work log

### [[YYYY-MM-DD]]
- {One-liner per work item. Wikilink people, projects, technologies.}

Project.base Views

The Base file provides three filtered views of backlinked notes:

View	Shows	Filter
Resources	All linked notes except projects, journals, events	Grouped by root, sorted by name
Events	Notes tagged type/event	Sorted by name
Journals	Notes tagged type/journal with backlink	List format, comma-separated

Frontmatter Conventions

• project.status — scalar: planned, active, on-hold, completed
• project.priority — scalar: Critical, High, Medium, Low
• collection: "[[Projects]]" — standard collection link
• keywords — wikilinks to topics, technologies, systems (never tags)
• related — wikilinks to related projects or notes
• project.team — wikilinks to people involved
• project.objectives — short text objectives for the project

Folder Notes

Every project lives in Projects/<Name>/<Name>.md. The folder note IS the project note. Associated files (plans, designs, references) live alongside in the same folder. The Folder Notes plugin renders the note when clicking the folder in the sidebar.
