# Obsidian Usage Guide

Use Obsidian to navigate and review workspace memory. Do not use it as a separate memory database.

---

## Recommended Start

Open:

- [Obsidian Vault Map](obsidian-vault.md)
- [New Member Onboarding](onboarding.md)
- [Knowledge Maps](maps/index.md)

---

## Best Views

### New Member View

Start with:

- [New Member Onboarding](onboarding.md)
- [Glossary](glossary.md)
- [Current Work Map](maps/current-work.md)
- [Fidelity Domain Map](maps/fidelity-domain.md)

### Daily Work View

Start with:

- [Current Work Map](maps/current-work.md)
- [Work Items Map](maps/work-items.md)
- [Logs Index](../ai/logs/index.md)

### System Understanding View

## Graph Guidance

Use the graph to find clusters, not to infer truth.

High-value graph hubs:

- `obsidian-vault`
- `onboarding`
- `current-work`
- `fidelity-domain`
- `work-items`
- `people`
- `tooling`
- `ai-workspace-core`

If a node is isolated, it may still be valid. It may be:

- a daily log
- raw evidence
- a command/prompt file
- a file that needs to be linked from a map

## Editing Rules

- Edit canonical memory files when the fact is clear.
- Prefer updating existing notes over adding duplicate summaries.
- Do not edit generated files as durable memory.
- Do not treat inbox files as confirmed truth.
- Use maps to improve navigation, not to store detailed facts.
