Obsidian Link Graph

This is a legacy compatibility helper.

Despite the name, the current default workflow is not graph-heavy. Use this skill to repair navigation among existing canonical notes, not to generate graph artifacts by default.

Responsibilities

  • strengthen wikilinks among 00-Hub.md, 01-Plan.md, Knowledge/, Papers/, Experiments/, Results/, Writing/, and Daily/
  • improve backlinks where a durable relationship is already clear
  • help route a new reference to the best existing canonical note
  • reduce disconnected durable notes without creating concept or dataset sprawl

Link heuristics

  • Prefer one canonical note per durable object.
  • Link through stable project objects, not ad-hoc phrases.
  • Avoid overlinking every paragraph; keep only meaningful edges.
  • Prefer repairing existing links over creating new auxiliary notes.
  • If the best target is unclear, narrow the search first and use find-canonical-note from obsidian-project-memory when helpful.

Do not assume by default

  • Concepts/
  • Datasets/
  • Maps/
  • Views/
  • .canvas
  • .base

Create those only if the user explicitly asks for them.
