Workflow

Step 1: Create Vault Directory Structure

mkdir -p ./IndexVault/_new \
         ./IndexVault/deep \
         ./IndexVault/memory \
         ./IndexVault/_images \
         ./IndexVault/_downloads \
         ./IndexVault/_template \
         ./IndexVault/_chat \
         ./IndexVault/.obsidian

Step 2: Copy Templates

Copy all 6 template files from the skill's resources directory to the vault:

cp ./skills/index-init/resources/*.md ./IndexVault/_template/

The following template files should be copied:

• idea_template.md
• project_template.md
• book_template.md
• paper_template.md
• webinfo_template.md
• webnews_template.md

Step 3: Create Obsidian Configuration

Write the following config files to ./IndexVault/.obsidian/:

core-plugins.json:
