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).

The rules below are not style preferences. Each one is here because its absence produced a specific, silent failure — a fabricated patient count, a broken PDF link, an empty Dataview table — in a vault of 100+ 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.
