# 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/`.
