LYT Obsidian Vault Template

A public template vault demonstrating the LYT (Linking Your Thinking) knowledge management framework.

What's Inside

ACE Framework

Atlas/      → Knowledge (what you know)
  ├── Notes/    → Knowledge cards
  ├── Maps/     → MOCs (Maps of Content)
  └── Sources/  → Books, articles, references
Calendar/   → Time-based notes (what you experienced)
Efforts/    → Action-based notes (what you're doing)
  ├── Areas/    → Ongoing responsibilities
  ├── Projects/ → Things with end dates
  └── Works/    → Completed outputs
Templates/  → Note templates with LYT metadata

MOCs (Maps of Content)

AI MOC — Agentic coding, LLMs, AI tools
PKM MOC — Knowledge management frameworks
Business MOC — Operations, e-commerce, automation
Trading MOC — Strategies, analysis, risk management
Robot MOC — Hardware, robotics, IoT

Note Types (LYT)

Each note has metadata for classification:

Thing — Concepts, frameworks, tools
Statement — Your insights and opinions
Question — Open questions to explore
Quote — External wisdom
Person — People and their ideas

How to Use

Copy this vault structure to your Obsidian
Use the templates in Templates/
Create MOCs when you have 5+ notes on a topic
Link everything — let connections emerge

LYT Principles

"Don't organize by folders, organize by connections"

MOCs are maps, not folders — they show relationships
Write Statements, not just Things — capture your thinking
Links over hierarchy — one note can live in multiple MOCs
ACE separates mental modes — Atlas (learn), Calendar (reflect), Efforts (execute)

AI Integration

This structure is designed for AI-assisted knowledge management:

MOCs serve as entry points for AI context
YAML frontmatter enables automated classification
Bidirectional links create traversable knowledge graphs
