Obsidian vault triage
Triage a messy or imported Obsidian vault into a domain-organized structure with MOC navigation, without losing a single note or piece of information. Use when reorganizing a vault, migrating imports (Evernote, Joplin, Simplenote, Keep), splitting daily notes into atomic notes, or tagging back-catalog notes.
Hard rules (user requirements, non-negotiable)
- Read before you classify. Read and understand every note before categorizing it. Never file by filename or origin folder alone.
- Zero loss. No note, attachment, or piece of information may disappear.
Content that looks like junk gets an
archive/home, not deletion. - Backup before triage. Full snapshot before any write:
git initin the vault root, commit everything. The.gitignoreexcludes only regenerable caches (.smart-env/,.obsidian/workspace*.json). One commit per batch gives instant rollback and a readable progress log.
