Obsidian AI Vault Patterns

Summary

Modern Obsidian AI workflows are moving toward agents that can read, structure, and carefully update vault notes. Hermes adopts this pattern conservatively: private notes remain private, public wiki pages require explicit publication metadata, and automation must pass dry-run review before live writes.

What This Covers

• Agent operating rules for Obsidian Markdown and structured notes.
• Source-to-knowledge graph patterns.
• Public-safe static wiki publishing.
• Local retrieval without changing canonical note content.
