Obsidian Literature Workflow

This skill owns the **project literature workflow**.

Main flow

Sources/Papers/ -> Knowledge/ -> Writing/ -> Maps/literature.canvas

Default outputs

  • `Sources/Papers/{paper-slug}.md`
  • `Knowledge/Literature Overview.md`
  • `Knowledge/Method Taxonomy.md`
  • `Knowledge/Research Gaps.md`
  • `Knowledge/Claim Map.md`
  • `Writing/related-work-draft.md` only after promoted claims pass the evidence gate
  • `Writing/comparison-matrix.md` only after promoted claims pass the evidence gate
  • `Maps/literature.canvas`

Rules

  • paper notes stay under `Sources/Papers/`
  • literature synthesis does not live inside source notes
  • every synthesis note must link its supporting source notes
  • every research gap must carry evidence
  • every promoted claim must carry an Evidence Record ID, source type, claim strength, allowed wording, and forbidden stronger wording when it may flow into writing or rebuttal
  • weak paper notes, abstract-only pages, and webpage placeholders may update coverage or `To-Read`, but they cannot support `Knowledge` or `Writing` conclusions
  • default graph output is `Maps/literature.canvas`
  • do not generate extra canvases unless explicitly requested
