AI-Native Obsidian Vault Setup Guide

Takeaways

  • Structures vault as a life OS: numeric folder prefixes, periodics (daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly), entities (people, projects, areas), and automation scripts.
  • Claude Code integration lives under 000 OS/Claude/ with commands, scripts (Bun/TS), and skills co-located with Obsidian templates.
  • Dataview rollups and scripted week setup reduce manual dashboard maintenance; North Star + Dashboard anchor tactical vs. strategic views.
  • Designed to be followable by humans or agents—explicit folder semantics and templates enable repeatable agent operations.
  • Session logs (210 AI Log/) separate agent artifacts from durable knowledge notes.

Notes

Reference architecture for comparing/evolving this vault’s Daily/SoM/Projects/Logs layout and .agents/skills placement—many patterns align, others differ (KB routing, Raindrop external bookmarks).

Open questions

  • Which entity folders (People, Teams, Events) are worth adopting vs. overkill for a personal vault?
