A personal Obsidian vault running a modified PARA method, plus the templates, queries, and Claude Code skills that make it work day-to-day.

Personal content (goals, projects, daily notes, etc.) is gitignored — what's tracked here is the system: the docs that describe how the vault is organized, the templates new pages are built from, the Dataview/Bases queries that power navigation, and the skills that automate the repetitive parts.

What's in the repo

Everything else (archives/, areas/, daily/, goals/, habits/, projects/, and topical wiki/ subfolders) is excluded by .gitignore — placeholder .gitkeep files preserve the folder structure.

The content model

Six types, each with its own folder, frontmatter schema, and lifecycle. Full docs in wiki/system/manual/:

The PARA Method page is the entry point — it covers how the six types relate, why this deviates from canonical PARA, and how the Archives hybrid model (status flip + folder move) works.

Skills

Five vault-local Claude Code skills in .claude/skills/, documented in Skills.md:

• create-page — interactive scaffolding for a Goal/Area/Project/Habit/Wiki
• place-wiki — picks the right wiki/ subfolder, pushes back on root-dumping
• archive — atomic status flip + completion date + file move to archives/ / /
• daily-review — morning carry-forward and evening highlights flow
• audit — vault-wide schema/drift validator
