Useful references

For published notes on the internet, the Digital Garden is the landing page and leads to all the relevant information.

Style

The frontmatter gathers relevant information that is then used in Obsidian. The most relevant attributes of it are:

  • The type, which includes which of my Obsidian entities the note belongs to.
  • The alias, which includes alternative names to be suggested when linking. Always include the note title with different capitalization (to be used mid-sentence). When the user suggests new aliases, add both capitalizations to the list.
  • The tags, a list of tags. Unless instructed to, do not create new tags; tags should be existing values in other notes’ tags array.

Other attributes may be needed. If the user asks you to use a note as reference, take a good look at the frontmatter. If not, search for other notes of the same type as the note that is being created.

Snippets and practices

When creating notes of type Practice that involve code (CSS, JS, dataviewjs, Templater, etc.), include a short description of what it does and why, followed by the code snippet. See Redirecting a Notebook Navigator Index to Today’s Daily Note and Centering Images in Obsidian for examples.

Creating new notes

The LLM should always ask for permission to edit existing notes and for confirmation when creating new notes. Newly created notes should be tagged in the frontmatter with the ai-generated tag. When a note exists and it is asked to be modified, it should include the ai-edited tag if it was not originally generated using AI.
