obsidian-literature-workflow

Solid

Use this skill when the user keeps paper notes inside an Obsidian project knowledge base and wants filesystem-first literature review, explicit agent-first Zotero ingestion, `Papers/` plus `Knowledge/` synthesis, collection-wide normalization, and a default literature canvas without Obsidian MCP.

# Obsidian Literature Workflow Handle the **literature sub-workflow** inside the filesystem-first Obsidian project knowledge base. ## Role in the workflow This is a **supporting skill** under `obsidian-project-memory`. Use it when the user says things like: - “My papers are in Obsidian” - “Read papers from Zotero and create notes in the vault” - “Review the notes under `Papers/`” - “Generate literature knowledge notes from this project vault” - “Connect paper notes to project knowledge” - “Show me the literature structure as a map/graph” - “Check whether all papers already have detailed notes” ## Assumptions - The project is already bound through `.claude/project-memory/registry.yaml`, or can be imported with `obsidian-project-bootstrap` - Durable paper notes live under `Papers/` inside `Research/{project-slug}/` - Obsidian note writing is done through the filesystem; no Obsidian MCP is required - Zotero may still be used as the source of metadata/full text; use `$zotero-obsidian-bridge` when the source corpus is in Zotero ## Default workflow 1. Read bound project memory and locate the vault root. 2. If the source papers are in Zotero, explicitly use `$zotero-obsidian-bridge` to pull them into canonical `Papers/*.md` notes. 3. Scan `Papers/` and adjacent synthesis notes using filesystem tools. 4. Normalize note metadata and structure using `$obsidian-markdown`. - Prefer the standardized review schema: - `Claim` - `Method` - `Evidence` - `Limitat...

zotero-obsidian-bridge

Use this skill when papers are collected in Zotero but the user wants detailed reading notes, project-linked literature synthesis, collection-wide paper-note coverage checks, and a connected knowledge map inside the bound Obsidian project knowledge base.

obsidian-project-memory

This skill should be used when the user asks to maintain an Obsidian knowledge base for a research project, import an existing research repository into Obsidian, keep project memory or daily notes synchronized, summarize project context into durable notes, or update experiments, results, papers, writing, and plans in an Obsidian vault without requiring MCP.

literature-overview

Synthesise a set of papers into a structured, analytical Literature Overview (Field Overview / Core Findings / Methodological Profile / Research Gaps) with inline [P#] markers attributing every claim to its source. Use when a user has a handful of papers or abstracts and wants a synthesis, lit-review section, "related work", or "summarise these papers together" — NOT a per-paper summary, but a synthesis that reveals structure and tension across the set.
