Obsidian Enrich Note

obsidian-enrich-note

A targeted frontmatter update without moving the file and without changing tags. Only these change: aliases, up, down, other. The note body, tags, links, sources are left untouched.

Semantics of the up/down/other/links fields — in .claude/rules/content-style.md. Vault structure — in .claude/rules/vault-struct.md.

When NOT to use this

Algorithm

1. Read the note

Note down the main topic and the key concepts from the title and body.

2. Compose aliases

Think like the user's search query:

• Synonyms of the concept
• English equivalent (if the term is well-established)
• Abbreviations
• Alternative spellings

aliases:
  - Закон Гудхарта
  - Goodhart's Law
  - Goodhart Law

3. Find links

rg -l "KEYWORD" "03. Ресурсы/" "02. Сферы/" | head -20

Where to look:

• 02. Сферы/07. Карты/ — candidates for up (MOC)
• 03. Ресурсы/<Тема>/База знаний/ — atomic notes on adjacent topics (other)
• If the topic relates to a person, there's no dedicated folder yet — search the whole vault for an existing note about them before adding an other link

4. Fill in the fields

Rules (from content-style.md):

• up — the parent topic / MOC this note derives from (from specific to general)
• down — what this note gives rise to (from general to specific)
• other — horizontal links (adjacent topics, people, MOCs that don't fit under up/down)

An empty field is fine if there's no link. Don't make things up.

5. Update frontmatter via Edit

If a field is already filled — add to it, don't overwrite it. Wikilinks — in quotes if they contain a colon or start with [[:

aliases:
  - Синоним 1
  - English Name
up:
  - "[[Родительская тема]]"
down:
  - "[[Дочерняя тема]]"
other:
  - "[[Смежная тема]]"
  - "[[Имя Человека]]"

Checklist

• aliases non-empty (at least one)
• up — wikilinks or justifiably empty
• down — wikilinks or justifiably empty
• other — wikilinks (this often has the most links)
• All wikilinks point to existing files
• The file stayed in its original folder
• Tags, body, links, sources unchanged
