Obsidian Paper Vault

Converts a folder of research PDFs into a two-layer Obsidian vault: literature notes (one per paper, templated) and atomic concept notes (synthesized across papers).

Relationship to /lit-sync

Both skills write literature and concept notes into the same vault folders. They enter from opposite ends and must not overwrite each other.

/lit-sync obsidian-paper-vault
Input Zotero collection / refs.bib a folder of PDFs
Note key citekey short descriptive title
Owns manuscript/_src/refs.bib extracted-text cache

Never overwrite an existing note. If a note for the paper already exists (by title, DOI, or citekey), report it and skip. When both skills are in play, /lit-sync notes are the bibliographic spine; this skill's notes are the read-through summaries.
