david.delagneau b82194bc55 Add daily logs and templates for Fidelity project
- Created daily log entries for April 13-16, 2026, capturing standup contexts, Mattermost syncs, and ongoing work items.
- Established a daily logs index for easy navigation of daily entries.
- Introduced templates for daily notes, decisions, meeting notes, people, systems, and work items to standardize documentation.
- Developed maps for AI workspace core, current work, Fidelity domain, and work items to enhance workspace navigation.
- Implemented base configurations for daily notes, decisions, people, systems, work items, and workstreams to streamline data management.
- Added a placeholder for attachments to facilitate file organization.

Obsidian Usage Guide

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


Open the vault/ folder as the Obsidian vault, not the repository root.

Graph Guidance

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

High-value graph hubs:

  • start-here
  • 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

Global Graph Defaults

The global graph is configured for onboarding and project navigation, not full filesystem inspection.

It intentionally hides generic technical filenames such as:

  • index
  • README
  • AGENTS
  • SKILL

Those files still exist and remain valid workspace files. They are hidden from the graph because Obsidian displays only the basename, which creates many indistinguishable nodes.

Use the file explorer or search when you need a specific technical file. Use the graph when you want to understand relationships between project concepts.


When To Show Technical Files

Temporarily remove these filters from the graph search when debugging workspace internals:

-file:index -file:README -file:AGENTS -file:SKILL

For normal onboarding, keep them hidden and navigate through the named maps.


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.

Daily Notes, Templates, And Bases

  • Daily notes live under 06-daily/ and use 09-templates/daily.md.
  • Templates live under 09-templates/.
  • Bases live under 08-bases/ and use simple type properties.
  • Bookmarks should keep 00-start/start-here.md, 00-start/onboarding.md, current work, work items, people, and high-value Bases easy to open.
