  1. 01Organizes paper notes and synthesis by folder
  2. 02Links synthesis notes to source notes
  3. 03Requires evidence for research gaps
  4. 04Records evidence and wording limits for claims
  5. 05Produces a literature canvas

Use cases

  1. 01Organize project papers and literature synthesis
  2. 02Select evidence-backed claims for writing
  3. 03Map relationships across the literature

Obsidian Literature Workflow

This skill owns the project literature workflow.

Main flow

Sources/Papers/ -> Knowledge/ -> Writing/ -> Maps/literature.canvas

Default outputs

  • Sources/Papers/{paper-slug}.md
  • Knowledge/Literature Overview.md
  • Knowledge/Method Taxonomy.md
  • Knowledge/Research Gaps.md
  • Knowledge/Claim Map.md
  • Writing/related-work-draft.md only after promoted claims pass the evidence gate
  • Writing/comparison-matrix.md only after promoted claims pass the evidence gate
  • Maps/literature.canvas

Rules

  • paper notes stay under Sources/Papers/
  • literature synthesis does not live inside source notes
  • every synthesis note must link its supporting source notes
  • every research gap must carry evidence
  • every promoted claim must carry an Evidence Record ID, source type, claim strength, allowed wording, and forbidden stronger wording when it may flow into writing or rebuttal
  • weak paper notes, abstract-only pages, and webpage placeholders may update coverage or To-Read, but they cannot support Knowledge or Writing conclusions
  • default graph output is Maps/literature.canvas
  • do not generate extra canvases unless explicitly requested
