# Create Obsidian note
**Read `references/vault-map.md` before touching anything.** It is this skill's configuration: the vault path and how to access it, the folder table, the filename and date conventions, and which categories are tracked. Everything below is written against a generic kepano vault and resolves its concrete values from that file.
A kepano-style vault's structure is not obvious, and getting it wrong produces broken links, or notes that never surface in the right view.
## One question decides the folder: who wrote it
kepano's rule: *"If a note is in the root, I know it's something I wrote, or relates directly to me. References is where I write about things that exist outside my world."*
So ask: **did the user author this idea, or does it exist independently in the world?**
- The user's own thoughts, journal, project logs, an insight they had, go to `Notes/` (the root).
- A standard concept, term, book, person, or place goes to `References/`.
- A capture never goes in `Categories/`. That folder holds hub notes only, one per collection, written when you build a category rather than when you capture.
"N+1 problem" lives in `References/` because it exists in the world. The user's coined observation "conservative retreat is not verification" lives in `Notes/` because they made it up.
## What kind of capture is this
**A quick thought, today's work, a dated entry.** One note in `Notes/`, named by the timestamp-plus-title convention in `references/vault-map.m
