Create or update a research topic in the Obsidian vault for non-coding explorations (tech research, comparisons, life topics)
Create or update a research topic document in the Obsidian vault.
Topics are non-coding explorations: tech comparisons, hardware research, life planning, etc. Each topic lives in its own subfolder under ~/AIVault/topics/.
$ARGUMENTS contains a topic slug that matches an existing folder in ~/AIVault/topics/, update the existing topicnew is specified), create a new topic~/AIVault/_templates/topic.md~/AIVault/topics/{topic-slug}/~/AIVault/topics/{topic-slug}/{topic-slug}.mddate: today's datetags: [topic, {topic-specific-tags}]status: exploring (options: exploring, decided, parked)language: the language the conversation was conducted in (e.g., de, en)type: topic## Related section with cross-links to related vault documents[[path/to/file|Display Name]]~/AIVault/topics/topics-home.md MOC:

If the conversation switches languages across sessions, keep the document in the language it was started in, unless the user explicitly asks to switch.
Reference the obsidian-markdown skill for Obsidian-flavored markdown conventions (callouts, embeds, etc.).
If a topic accumulates supplementary material (comparison tables, decision matrices, images), store them in the topic's subfolder alongside the main file. Link them from the main document.
