Architecting Projects

This skill transforms any folder into a fully featured Obsidian project space. It is designed to work directly on the file system.

Triggering Contexts

When the user wants to start a new complex project (e.g., "Plan a course," "Write a book").
When the user wants to organize an existing chaotic folder.
When the user explicitly asks for "Obsidian setup" or "Project structure."

Workflow Checklist

detailed requirements gathered (project name, goal)
folder structure created (00_Meta, 10_Research, 20_Development, 30_Output, 99_Archive)
resource files copied (Project_Home.md, Dashboard.canvas)
initial notes created or moved

Instructions

1. Structure Scaffolding

When asking to "architect" or "setup" a project, ALWAYS enforce this folder, numbering system for easy sorting:

[ProjectRoot]/
  ├── 00_Meta/          # Templates, system files, project config
  ├── 10_Research/      # Inputs: sources, raw notes, literature
  ├── 20_Development/   # Throughputs: drafts, outlines, thinking
  ├── 30_Output/        # Outputs: final deliverables, polished content
  └── 99_Archive/       # Deprecated or finished items

Action: Use run_command to create these directories if they don't exist.

2. The "Project Home" (MOC)

Every project needs a single entry point.

Read the template from .agent/skills/architecting-projects/resources/template-moc.md.
Replace {{date}} with the current date.
Replace {{project_name}} with the folder name or user-provided name.
Replace {{folder_path}} with the relative path of the project root (for Dataview queries).
Write this file to 00_Meta/Project_Home.md.

3. The Visual Dashboard (Canvas)

Obsidian Canvas is powerful for high-level thinking.

Read the template from .agent/skills/architecting-projects/resources/project-dashboard.canvas.
Write this file to the root of the project as Dashboard.canvas.
- Note: Creating it at the root makes it the first thing seen when opening the folder in some views.

4. Handling Existing Files

If the folder is NOT empty:

Ask the user if they want to move existing files into the new structure (likely into 10_Research or 20_Development).
Do NOT delete any user files.

Artifact Integration

task.md: Update the task list to reflect the "Project Setup" phase.
walkthrough.md: After setting up, create a walkthrough showing the new structure and links to the generated files.
