Claude Obsidian Vault

IMF Obsidian Template

A starter Obsidian vault implementing the **IMF Framework** (Index, Maps of Content, Fluid Frameworks) — atomic notes, source notes, MOCs, and one Home note, connected by links instead of topic folders. Comes with a `CLAUDE.md` so it works out of the box with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code).

What's here

• CLAUDE.md — points Claude Code at the spec below before it touches anything in this vault
• Docs/IMF Framework/ — the full spec: definitions, workflow, folder/tag/MOC rules, templates, data model
• Examples/Coffee Brewing/ — a fully worked example (fictional) showing every note type populated and linked together
• Extras/Templates/ — the 5 note templates, wired into Obsidian's core Templates plugin
• + Inbox, Atlas, Sources, Calendar, Efforts — empty, ready to use (each has a .gitkeep so the folder survives the clone)

Setup

1. Open this folder as a vault in Obsidian.
2. Go to Settings → Community plugins and install Metadata Menu (required — it's what turns status/type into dropdowns; the settings are already configured in .obsidian/plugins/metadata-menu/data.json, they just need the plugin installed to take effect).
3. Read Docs/IMF Framework/00 Overview.md to start, or open this folder in Claude Code — it reads CLAUDE.md first automatically.
4. Delete Examples/ once you've read through it, or keep it around as a live reference.
