Note type system for Muse - templates, linking patterns, capture triggers, and vault structure
Standardized note types and patterns for the Muse thinking system. This skill defines HOW thoughts are captured, organized, and connected.
ALWAYS use
.notes/relative to the working directory when in a project repo.NEVER use Obsidian iCloud paths (
~/Library/Mobile Documents/...) in project contexts. The.notes/symlink handles the mapping automatically.
| Mode | Detect By | Notes Path |
|---|---|---|
| Project Repo | Working dir is a code repo (has .git/, package.json, etc.) | .notes/ |
| Direct Vault | Working dir IS ~/notes/{vault} | ./ (current dir) |
Examples:
# In vets-website project:
.notes/my-note.md ✅ CORRECT
~/Library/Mobile Documents/.../my-note.md ❌ NEVER
# In ~/notes/second-brain directly:
./my-note.md ✅ CORRECT
Raw thoughts, sparks, unprocessed inspiration. Low friction, high volume.
