Professional Obsidian Vault Template

A neutral starting structure for a Markdown-first personal operating system.

This template provides a working architecture for organizing identity, projects, knowledge, resources, AI collaboration, time-based notes, and archives.

It is designed to be:

• readable as ordinary Markdown
• useful without AI
• more useful with AI
• provider-neutral
• safe to customize gradually
• small enough to maintain

Start with:

1. STARTER_PROMPT.md
2. FIRST_RUN_CHECKLIST.md
3. SETUP_GUIDE.md
4. WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md
5. Core/START_HERE.md
6. Core/VAULT_MAP.md
7. AI/START_HERE.md
8. AI/PERMISSIONS.md

To personalize the Human and AI collaboration layer, use:

• HUMAN_AI_PROFILE_BUILDER_PROMPT.md

Use FIRST_RUN_CHECKLIST.md for the first setup session. It turns the architecture into a practical sequence: protect the vault, choose a setup mode, customize only useful files, write the first log, and leave a continuation point.

Do not dump an existing vault into this template. Inventory, classify, stage, validate, and then import only what belongs.
