obsidian-vault-template

The structure and templates of a working Obsidian vault used as a founder/operator second brain alongside Claude Code — folder taxonomy and note templates only.

🔒 No personal content. This repo deliberately contains no diary, strategy docs, projects, contacts, or financial data — only the empty folder

The vault, and how Claude uses it

What's inside

Path	What it is
Templates/	6 reusable note templates (in Finnish): Asiakas.md (customer), Tarjous.md (bid/quote), Lasku.md (invoice), Työmaa.md (job site), Päivittäinen.md (daily note), Claude-sessio.md (Claude session log).
structure/	The folder taxonomy as empty .gitkeep scaffolding: Projektit, Strategia, Päiväkirja, Kontaktit, Talous, Inbox, Ideat, Tutkimus, Tehtävät, Kehitys, Dokumentaatio, Arkisto, 10_BRIEFS.
REQUIRED-PLUGINS.md	Which Obsidian community plugins the templates need (Templater, Dataview) and how to set them up — read this first.
.obsidian-community-plugins.json	The essential plugin IDs, ready to merge into your vault's .obsidian/community-plugins.json.

How to use

1. Copy structure/ folders into a new Obsidian vault to get the taxonomy.
2. Copy Templates/ into the vault and point Obsidian's Templates plugin (or Templater) at it.
3. Adapt folder/template names to your own language and workflow.

Why this taxonomy

The vault separates operational notes (Projektit, Tehtävät, Inbox) from reflective notes (Päiväkirja, Strategia) and reference (Kontaktit, Talous, Dokumentaatio). Claude Code writes session summaries into Päiväkirja and reads Strategia for context (wire this via your CLAUDE.md).
