Obsidian Research Log

Use this skill to keep project planning and daily progress synchronized.

Role in the workflow

This is a supporting skill under obsidian-project-memory.

Prefer a small number of durable updates over creating extra planning folders.

Default targets

• Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md
• 01-Plan.md
• 00-Hub.md recent progress block
• .claude/project-memory/<project_id>.md

Rules

• Convert vague TODOs into concrete checkbox lists in 01-Plan.md when they become durable commitments.
• Preserve chronology in Daily/: append dated blocks instead of rewriting history.
• Link daily notes to touched experiments, papers, results, and writing notes when the destination is already canonical.
• If a meeting note is only temporary, keep it in Daily/ first.
• If meeting output becomes durable project knowledge, summarize and route it into Knowledge/, Writing/, or 01-Plan.md instead of creating a default Meetings/ folder.
• Prefer updating existing canonical notes over spawning parallel task notes.

Main judgment rule

Daily logs are for process.

If a note will still matter after several days or weeks, promote the durable part into Knowledge/, Experiments/, Results/, or Writing/.
