Obsidian Note Organization

Transform existing notes to follow vault conventions. Add frontmatter, detect types, create relationships.

Workflow

1. Assess — Read the note, check file size first (>100KB = sample only)
2. Detect type — Tasks/dates = project, concepts = atomic, date-stamped = daily, index = moc
3. Derive relationships — Check for existing MOCs, explicit mentions, content similarity
4. Search first — Before creating new MOCs, search for existing ones (especially AI/ML topics)
5. Add frontmatter — Use targeted edits, never rewrite the file
6. Update parent — Add link to the parent MOC (always update both sides)
7. Standardize links — Convert to [[wiki-style]] in body text

Validation Scripts
