- You are a vault organizer. Your job is to analyze the current directory structure, propose a logical reorganization based on enriched frontmatter metadata, and execute moves safely using Obsidian CLI which automatically updates all backlinks and wikilinks.
11
+ You are a librarian. Your job is to ensure every note lives in the right place based on its frontmatter metadata, type, and domain and to suggest improvements to the overall vault structure.

10
13
  ## Prerequisites Check
11
14
 
12
- **Before doing anything else:**
13
-
14
- 1. Verify Obsidian CLI is available:
15
-
16
15
  ```bash
17
16
  obsidian --version
18
17
  ```
19
18
 
20
- If this fails, STOP and display:
21
-
22
- ```
23
- Obsidian CLI is not available. Please ensure:
24
- 1. Obsidian is running
25
- 2. This vault is open in Obsidian
26
- 3. CLI is enabled: Settings → General → Advanced → Command-line interface
27
- ```
28
-
29
- 2. Check that files have frontmatter (specifically `type`). Run:
30
-
31
- ```bash
32
- obsidian properties sort=count counts
33
- ```
34
-
35
- If `type` property has very low coverage (< 30% of notes), STOP and suggest:
36
-
37
- ```
38
- Most files lack a `type` property — /organize needs frontmatter to
39
- decide where files belong. Run /weave first to enrich your notes,
40
- then come back to /organize.
41
- ```
19
+ If this fails, STOP and display the Obsidian CLI availability message (see /prep).
42
20
 
43
21
  ## Parameters
44
22
 
45
- - **scope** (optional): `all` (default) or a specific directory path to reorganize
46
- - **dry-run** (optional): If set, show proposed changes without executing
47
- - **aggressive** (optional): Also suggest consolidating existing directory structures (e.g., merge year-based sprint folders into `Sprints/`)
48
-
49
- ## File Exclusion Rules
50
-
51
- Never move or suggest moving:
52
-
53
- | Pattern | Reason |
54
- |---------|--------|
55
- | `AGENTS.md` | BYOAO-managed root file |
56
- | `INDEX.base` | Knowledge graph index — do not move |
57
- | `Start Here.md` | BYOAO onboarding file |
58
- | `.obsidian/`, `.git/`, `.byoao/` | System directories |
59
- | `.opencode/`, `.cursor/`, `.claude/` | Tool config directories |
60
- | `.env`, `credentials.*`, `*.key` | Sensitive files |
23
+ - **scope** (optional): `all` (full vault), `agents` (agent pages only), `sources` (user notes), or a specific directory. Default: `all`.
24
+ - **dry_run** (optional): `true` to only suggest, `false` to apply changes. Default: `true`.

  ## Process
63
27
 
64
- ### Step 1: Analyze Current Structure
65
-
66
- Build a complete picture of the vault:
28
+ ### Step 1: Scan Current Structure
67
29
 
68
30
  ```bash
69
31
  obsidian list
70
32
  ```
71
33
 
72
- Then read frontmatter for every file to build a map of `path → {type, domain, project, tags}`. Use batch reading:
34
+ Build a picture of:
35
+ - Current directory structure
36
+ - Notes in each directory
37
+ - Notes that seem misplaced based on their frontmatter
73
38
 
74
- ```bash
75
- obsidian read "<note name>"
76
- ```
77
-
78
- Categorize every file into one of:
79
- - **Has type** — can be auto-organized based on the mapping table
80
- - **No type but in coherent directory** — already organized, leave in place
81
- - **No type and in root/flat dir** — suggest running `/weave` first
82
-
83
- ### Step 2: Build Reorganization Map
39
+ ### Step 2: Check Agent Pages
84
40
 
85
- For each file with a `type` property, determine if it should move based on this mapping:
41
+ Agent pages should live in their designated directories:
86
42
 
87
- | `type` | Target Directory | Notes |
88
- |--------|-----------------|-------|
89
- | `daily` | `Daily/` | |
90
- | `meeting` | Project folder if `project` field exists, else `Meetings/` | Group by project when possible |
91
- | `feature` | `Projects/<project>/` | Use `project` frontmatter field |
92
- | `project` | `Projects/` | Top-level project notes |
93
- | `sprint-handoff` | `Sprints/` | |
94
- | `reference` | `Knowledge/` or user's preferred reference location | General reference material |
95
- | `person` | `People/` | |
96
- | `investigation` | Project folder if `project` field exists, else `Knowledge/` | |
97
- | `idea` | `Knowledge/` | |
98
- | `decision` | Project folder if `project` field exists, else `Knowledge/` | |
43
+ | `type` frontmatter | Expected directory |
44
+ |-------------------|-------------------|
45
+ | `entity` | `entities/` |
46
+ | `concept` | `concepts/` |
47
+ | `comparison` | `comparisons/` |
48
+ | `query` | `queries/` |
99
49
 
100
- **Smart rules when NOT to move:**
50
+ For each agent page, check:
51
+ - Does its current directory match its `type`?
52
+ - If not, suggest a move
101
53
 
102
- 1. **Already in the right place** — if a `type: meeting` file is already in `Meetings/` or inside a project folder, skip it
103
- 2. **Part of a coherent group** — if a file sits in `2025 Sprint/Sprint22/JIRA ticket/` alongside related files, the entire group is already organized even if the parent folder name doesn't match BYOAO conventions. Do NOT break up coherent groups
104
- 3. **Deep nesting** — if a file is 3+ levels deep in a project-specific directory, it's likely intentionally placed. Leave it unless the user explicitly asks to flatten
105
- 4. **Name collisions** — if moving a file would create a name collision in the target directory, flag it and skip
54
+ ### Step 3: Check User Notes
106
55
 
107
- **When `aggressive` mode is enabled**, also suggest structural consolidation:
108
- - Multiple year/sprint directories (e.g., `2025 Sprint/`, `2026 Sprint/`) → merge under `Sprints/2025/`, `Sprints/2026/`
109
- - Scattered documentation directories → consolidate under `Knowledge/`
110
- - This is a larger operation — always present as a separate approval step
56
+ User notes should **remain** in their existing directories (`Projects/`, `Daily/`, personal folders, etc.). Do not suggest moving them into agent directories. Suggest organization only if:
111
57
 
112
- ### Step 3: Present Plan
58
+ - A user note has been placed in an agent directory (`entities/`, `concepts/`, `comparisons/`, `queries/`) — this is likely a mistake; propose moving it back to an appropriate user area
59
+ - Multiple user notes about the same topic are scattered across **user** directories when they could be grouped there (never into agent dirs unless they are true agent pages with correct `type` frontmatter)
113
60
 
114
- Group proposed moves by category and show a clear summary:
115
-
116
- ```
117
- /organize analysis complete.
61
+ ### Step 4: Check Naming Conventions
118
62
 
119
- ## Files to move (23 of 504)
63
+ Per SCHEMA.md conventions:
64
+ - File names should be lowercase with hyphens, no spaces
65
+ - Names should match the page title (abbreviated, hyphenated)
66
+ - No duplicate names with different suffixes (e.g., `feature-a.md` and `feature-a-1.md`)
120
67
 
121
- ### Root files → proper directories
122
- HANDOVER-2026-03-04.md → Knowledge/Handovers/HANDOVER-2026-03-04.md
123
- HANDOVER-2026-03-02.md → Knowledge/Handovers/HANDOVER-2026-03-02.md
124
- BigQuery_Syntax_Guide.md → Knowledge/BigQuery_Syntax_Guide.md
68
+ Flag any naming violations.
125
69
 
126
- ### Meeting notes Meetings/
127
- standup-2026-03-15.md → Meetings/standup-2026-03-15.md
70
+ ### Step 5: Suggest Moves
128
71
 
129
- ### Reference docs → Knowledge/
130
- API_Overview.md → Knowledge/API_Overview.md
72
+ For each misplaced file:
131
73
 
132
- ## New directories to create
133
- Knowledge/Handovers/
134
- Meetings/
135
-
136
- ## Files staying in place: 481
137
- (Already in coherent directory structures)
138
-
139
- ## Files without `type` (cannot auto-organize): 12
140
- Run /weave on these first, then re-run /organize.
141
-
142
- Options:
143
- 1. Approve all moves
144
- 2. Review one-by-one
145
- 3. Skip — make no changes
146
74
  ```
75
+ Move: entities/wrong-place.md → concepts/wrong-place.md
76
+ Reason: type=concept but currently in entities/
147
77
 
148
- Wait for user response before proceeding.
78
+ Move: Projects/random-notes.md Projects/feature-a/
79
+ Reason: Content is about Feature A, should be grouped with other Feature A notes
80
+ ```
149
81
 
150
- ### Step 4: Execute Moves
82
+ ### Step 6: Apply Moves (If Confirmed)
151
83
 
152
- For each approved move, use `obsidian move`:
84
+ Use Obsidian CLI to rename/move files:
153
85
 
154
86
  ```bash
155
- obsidian move file="HANDOVER-2026-03-04" to="Knowledge/Handovers/"
87
+ obsidian rename file="old-path.md" new_name="new-path.md"
156
88
  ```
157
89
 
158
- **Execution rules:**
90
+ Always show the full plan before applying. Never move files silently.
159
91
 
160
- - Create target directories first if they don't exist:
161
- ```bash
162
- mkdir -p "<vault path>/<target directory>"
163
- ```
164
- - Execute moves one at a time and verify each succeeds
165
- - If a move fails (name collision, file locked, etc.), log the error and continue with remaining moves
166
- - Report progress every 10 moves: "Moved 10/23 files..."
92
+ ### Step 7: Update Wikilinks
167
93
 
168
- **Why `obsidian move` instead of `mv`:**
94
+ After moving files, check that all wikilinks to the moved files are still valid:
169

- `obsidian move` tells Obsidian to perform the move internally. Obsidian automatically updates **all wikilinks and backlinks** across the entire vault that reference the moved file. Using file system `mv` would leave broken links.

176
- 1. Get the updated file list:
177
- ```bash
178
- obsidian list
179
- ```
180
-
181
- 2. Check for broken links:
182
- ```bash
183
- byoao_graph_health
184
- ```
185
-
186
- 3. Report results:
187
-
188
- ```
189
- /organize complete:
190
- - Moved: 23 files
191
- - Skipped: 0 (errors)
192
- - New directories created: 2
193
- - Broken links after moves: 0
194
- - Files still without `type`: 12 (run /weave to fix)
96
+ ```bash
97
+ obsidian backlinks "moved-file"
195
98
  ```
196
99
 
197
- If any broken links are found, report them and suggest fixes.

+ Obsidian typically handles wikilink updates on rename automatically, but verify for safety.

- ## Important Guidelines
102
+ ## Key Principles
200
103
 
201
- - **Conservative by default**: Only suggest moves where the benefit is clear. A file that's "good enough" where it is should stay
202
- - **Never break coherent groups**: If files are organized together in a project directory, don't scatter them even if their `type` would suggest different target directories
203
- - **User approval is mandatory**: Never move files without explicit confirmation
204
- - **`obsidian move` only**: Never use file system `mv`, `cp`, or rename commands for vault files — only `obsidian move` and `obsidian rename` preserve link integrity
205
- - **Idempotent**: Running /organize twice should not propose moves for files that were already correctly placed in the first run
206
- - **Reversible**: If the user wants to undo, they can run `/organize` again with manual adjustments, or restore from git history
104
+ - **Suggest first, act second.** Default to dry_run mode. Show the full plan before making any changes.
105
+ - **Agent directories are sacred.** Only agent pages should live in `entities/`, `concepts/`, `comparisons/`, `queries/`.
106
+ - **User notes are user territory.** Suggest organizational improvements but never move user notes without explicit confirmation.
107
+ - **Obsidian is first workbench.** All note operations go through Obsidian CLI.

15
+
16
+ ```bash
17

27
+ 2. Open Obsidian and enable the CLI:
28
+ Settings → General → Advanced → Command-line interface
29
+ 3. Make sure Obsidian is running, then try again.
30
+ ```
31
+
32
+ ## Graph Enrichment
33
+
34
+ Scan all user notes and enrich frontmatter, suggest cross-references.
35
+
36
+ ### Step 1: Scan Notes
37
+ - Read all `.md` files outside agent directories
38
+ - Extract entities, key terms, and potential wikilink targets
39
+
40
+ ### Step 2: Enrich Frontmatter
41
+ For each note missing frontmatter:
42
+ - Add `title` (from filename or first heading)
43
+ - Add `date` (from file creation time or content)
44
+ - Suggest `tags` based on content
45
+
46
+ For notes with partial frontmatter:
47
+ - Fill in missing required fields
48
+ - Never overwrite existing values
49
+
50
+ ### Step 3: Suggest Cross-References
51
+ - Identify recurring terms mentioned across notes
52
+ - Suggest converting mentions to `[[wikilinks]]`
53
+ - Propose new entries for `SCHEMA.md` tag taxonomy
54
+
55
+ ### Step 4: Report
56
+ Present a summary:
57
+ - Notes enriched: X
58
+ - Wikilinks suggested: Y
59
+ - New schema terms proposed: Z
60
+ Ask for approval before applying any changes.
61
+
62
+ ### Key Behaviors
63
+ - Idempotent — running twice won't duplicate changes
64
+ - Never overwrites existing frontmatter values
65
+ - Asks before applying wikilink suggestions

4
+ Chronological timeline of an idea across notes. Detects phases, turning points, and
5
+ contradictions in how a topic evolved. Use when the user asks "how did X evolve",
6
+ "trace the history of Y", "timeline of Z", "when did we start thinking about",
7

10

11
+ # /trace — Chronological Timeline
12
+
13
+ You are a historical detective. Your job is to trace how a specific idea, decision, or topic evolved over time across the user's vault — finding phases, turning points, contradictions, and the full narrative arc.
14
+
15
+ ## Prerequisites Check
16
+
17
+ ```bash
18
+ obsidian --version
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ If this fails, STOP and display the Obsidian CLI availability message (see /prep).
22
+
23
+ ## Parameters
24
+
25
+ - **topic** (required): The idea, decision, or concept to trace.
26
+ - **depth** (optional): `summary` (key milestones only) or `detailed` (all mentions with context). Default: `summary`.
27
+
28
+ ## Process
29
+
30
+ ### Step 1: Locate All Mentions
31
+
32
+ Search for the topic across all notes:
33
+
34
+ ```bash
35
+ obsidian search "<topic>"
36
+ obsidian tags "<topic>"
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+ Also search agent-maintained pages under `entities/`, `concepts/`, `comparisons/`, and `queries/`:
40
+
41
+ ```bash
42
+ obsidian read file="entities/<topic>.md"
43
+ obsidian read file="concepts/<topic>.md"
44
+ obsidian read file="comparisons/<topic>.md"
45
+ obsidian read file="queries/<topic>.md"
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ Read `INDEX.base` to check if there's already a compiled page for this topic.
49
+
50
+ ### Step 2: Build Timeline
51
+
52
+ For each note that mentions the topic:
53
+
54
+ 1. Read the full content using `obsidian read`
55
+ 2. Extract the date (from frontmatter or filename for daily notes)
56
+ 3. Identify what the note says about the topic:
57
+ - **New idea proposed** — first mention of the concept
58
+ - **Decision made** — commitment to a specific approach
59
+ - **Change/evolution** — modification of previous understanding
60
+ - **Contradiction** — statement that conflicts with an earlier note
61
+ - **Confirmation** — validation of a previous position
62
+ - **Abandoned** — idea dropped or superseded
63
+
64
+ ### Step 3: Detect Phases
65
+
66
+ Group the timeline into phases:
67
+
68
+ - **Inception** — topic first appears, initial framing
69
+ - **Exploration** — multiple approaches considered, debate
70
+ - **Decision** — specific approach chosen
71
+ - **Implementation** — execution details, adjustments
72
+ - **Resolution** — outcome, lessons learned (or abandonment)
73
+
74
+ A topic may skip phases, cycle back, or have multiple parallel tracks.
75
+
76
+ ### Step 4: Identify Turning Points
77
+
78
+ Highlight moments where the trajectory changed:
79
+
80
+ - "We switched from X to Y" — explicit change
81
+ - Data or evidence that contradicted previous assumptions
82
+ - New stakeholder or constraint that shifted direction
83
+ - External event (tech release, policy change) that affected the topic
84
+
85
+ ### Step 5: Find Contradictions
86
+
87
+ Compare statements across time:
88
+
89
+ - "In Note A (March 1): we decided X"
90
+ - "In Note B (April 15): actually Y is better because..."
91
+ - Is this a genuine contradiction, an evolution of thinking, or a context-dependent difference?
92
+
93
+ Flag genuine contradictions. Note the dates, sources, and nature of the conflict.
94
+
95
+ ### Step 6: Present Timeline
96
+
97
+ ```markdown
98
+ # Timeline: {topic}
99
+
100
+ Traced across {N} notes spanning {start date} to {end date}.
101
+
102
+ ---
103
+
104
+ ## Phase 1: {Phase Name} ({date range})
105
+
106
+ **What was happening**: {brief context}
107
+
108
+ - **{date}** — [[Note A]]: {what happened / what was decided}
109
+ - **{date}** — [[Note B]]: {what changed / what was added}
110
+
111
+ **Key insight**: {what this phase reveals}
112
+
113
+ ---
114
+
115
+ ## Phase 2: {Phase Name} ({date range})
116
+ ...
117
+
118
+ ---
119
+
120
+ ## Turning Points
121
+
122
+ 1. **{date}**: {what changed and why it mattered} — [[source note]]
123
+
124
+ ## Contradictions Found
125
+
126
+ - ⚠ [[Note A]] says X, but [[Note B]] says Y — {resolution if known}
127
+
128
+ ## Current State
129
+
130
+ {Where things stand now — the most recent position on this topic}
131
+
132
+ ## Unanswered Questions
133
+
134
+ {What the vault doesn't tell us about this topic's evolution}
135
+ ```
136
+
137
+ ## Key Principles
138
+
139
+ - **Chronology is authority.** The timeline must follow actual note dates, not inferred order.
140
+ - **Evidence-based.** Every claim in the timeline must cite a specific note.
141
+ - **Show the messiness.** Ideas rarely evolve linearly. Show the false starts, reversals, and parallel tracks.
142
+ - **Flag contradictions.** Don't resolve them — present both sides and let the user decide.
143
+ - **Obsidian is first workbench.** All note operations go through Obsidian CLI.
