Obsidian Config
Technical specification for a local-first, Vim-driven knowledge base.
Description
Personal knowledge management interface optimized for semantic density and keyboard-driven navigation.
Environment & Core
The vault operates on a local-first principle using Markdown as the source of truth.
- Vim Mode: Enabled globally via
app.jsonfor modal editing. - Note Routing: New files inherit the current folder context.
- Attachments: Strictly routed to
Attachments/to prevent root-level clutter. - Tab Size: 7 spaces (consistent with project-wide indentation standards).
Folder Topology
The directory structure follows a lifecycle-based routing system:
0. Inbox/— Entry point for fleeting thoughts.1. Active/— Active projects, journals, and study sprints.2. Zettelkasten/— Semantic core (Seedlings → Growing → Evergreen).3. Resources/— Static documentation and literature notes._System/— Templates, Dashboards, and internal metadata.
