# obsidian-lore — The bridge between where experience piles up and where criteria is distilled The note you wrote at midnight is the honest one. It is also the one that never becomes anything: notes accumulate faster than anyone re-reads them, and an inbox that only grows stops being a source and becomes a pile you feel bad about. Obsidian and Lore can share one folder tree: the **vault is the mother folder of the Areas**, so the same files are at once the work space of Claude Code and the note space of Obsidian. This skill governs that overlap. It does two things and refuses a third. | It does | It refuses | |---|---| | Capture a free note in the inbox, **outside any `lore/`** | Manage notes — the one move this skill makes is archiving closed notes at the end of a sweep | | **Mine** the inbox — turn what deserves it into criteria, through `save-to-lore` | Turn Obsidian into a container of Lore | > **The law: a note is source, the Lore is criteria.** A note answers *«what happened»*. Lore answers > *«what changed in the relationship because of what happened»*. Nothing crosses from one to the other > except through an explicit mining pass and a human approval. ## Why mining, and not just a command that is available A note file satisfies the urge to preserve **without producing criteria**. Once the record exists, the distillation does not happen — the criterion stays inside the note, technically preserved and functionally inert, and it comes out by **deliberate mining**,
