# Vault Conventions
|
|
|
|
## Required Frontmatter
|
|
|
|
All notes should include YAML frontmatter with:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
id: unique-id
|
|
aliases: []
|
|
tags: []
|
|
area: Primary area/domain
|
|
project: [[Project Note]]
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use an empty value for `project:` when there is no relevant project note.
|
|
|
|
## Core Principles
|
|
|
|
- Markdown-first
|
|
- explicit `[[wikilinks]]`
|
|
- atomic notes for durable ideas
|
|
- project, topic, and date-based organization
|
|
- consistency over novelty
|
|
|
|
## Folder Roles
|
|
|
|
- `Inbox/`: raw capture and unprocessed notes
|
|
- `Dailies/`: day-specific notes and reflection
|
|
- `Templates/`: note templates
|
|
- `Knowledge/`: preferred home for evergreen atomic notes if the folder exists or is created
|
|
- project/topic folders: active work and structured reference material
|
|
|
|
## Task Conventions
|
|
|
|
- Use Markdown task items: `- [ ] Task description [[Project Name]]`
|
|
- Add status and priority tags where useful
|
|
- Use `due:: YYYY-MM-DD` for due dates
|
|
- Add `start::` and `end::` only when explicitly requested or when tracking active work
|
|
|
|
## Curation Heuristics
|
|
|
|
- A saved thing is not yet a knowledge note.
|
|
- A source note is not the same as an evergreen note.
|
|
- A link should reflect a real conceptual or project relationship.
|
|
- A long note may remain long if it is reference material; only extract notes when reuse is likely.
|
|
- Prefer gradual improvement over mass refactoring.
