obsidian-vault FAQ

How do I search for a note in the vault?

Use `find "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/" -name "*.md" | grep -i "keyword"` to search by filename, or `grep -rl "keyword" "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/" --include="*.md"` to search by content.

What naming convention should I use for new notes?

Use Title Case for all note names (e.g., 'Ralph Wiggum Index.md', 'Skills Index.md'). For notes in numbered sequences, use hierarchical numbering.

How do I organize notes without using folders?

Use Obsidian wikilinks [[Note Title]] and index notes that aggregate related topics. The vault maintains a flat structure at the root level.

How do I find notes that reference a specific note?

Search for the wikilink reference using `grep -rl "\[\[Note Title\]\]" "/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/"` to find all backlinks.

What should index notes contain?

Index notes are simple lists of [[wikilinks]] that aggregate related topics, such as 'Skills Index.md' or 'RAG Index.md'.
