Obsidian Flavored Markdown Guide

When creating or editing notes in the user's Obsidian vault, follow these conventions.

Core Principles

1. Ask before creating — confirm the save location and vault structure first.
2. Use OFM syntax — prefer wikilinks, callouts, and embeds over standard Markdown equivalents.
3. Atomic notes — one concept per note, connected through links.
4. Metadata-driven — use YAML frontmatter for searchability and Dataview queries.

[[Note Name#^block-id]]       # link to a block

• Use descriptive, unique note names. Avoid special characters:
