brycewang-stanford Obsidian Research Log
Use this skill to keep project planning and daily progress synchronized.
Role in the workflow
This is a supporting skill under obsidian-project-memory.
Prefer a small number of durable updates over creating extra planning folders.
Default targets
Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md01-Plan.md00-Hub.mdrecent progress block.claude/project-memory/<project_id>.md
Rules
- Convert vague TODOs into concrete checkbox lists in
01-Plan.mdwhen they become durable commitments. - Preserve chronology in
Daily/: append dated blocks instead of rewriting history. - Link daily notes to touched experiments, papers, results, and writing notes when the destination is already canonical.
- If a meeting note is only temporary, keep it in
Daily/first. - If meeting output becomes durable project knowledge, summarize and route it into
Knowledge/,Writing/, or01-Plan.mdinstead of creating a defaultMeetings/folder. - Prefer updating existing canonical notes over spawning parallel task notes.
Main judgment rule
Daily logs are for process.
If a note will still matter after several days or weeks, promote the durable part into Knowledge/, Experiments/, Results/, or Writing/.
