Obsidian Vault

Summary

The existing vault is valuable but vague. Treat it as raw material, not as the final structure.

Streamlining Plan

  • Import notes in batches by folder or theme, not all at once.
  • Preserve originals under raw/sources/obsidian/.
  • Ask the LLM to extract durable concepts, projects, decisions, and personal patterns.
  • Merge duplicate or vague notes into stronger wiki pages.
  • Mark sensitive notes private by default.

Keep

  • Notes that changed behavior or decisions.
  • Project context that is hard to reconstruct.
  • Book or article notes with reusable ideas.
  • Self-reflections that reveal recurring patterns.

Skip Or Archive

  • Empty daily notes.
  • Random clipped quotes without context.
  • Old task lists with no durable value.
  • Duplicates and vague placeholders.

Open Questions

  • Where is the vault located locally?
  • Should imported notes remain private-only?
  • Which folders should be processed first?
