Obsidian Notes Creator

Obsidian笔记创建指南

Transform source material into genuinely excellent study notes — with analogies that make hard things click, diagrams that show structure at a glance, and layouts that scale from a single concept to an entire subject.
将原始材料转化为真正优质的学习笔记——通过类比让晦涩概念通俗易懂,用图表直观展示结构,布局可从单个概念扩展至整个学科。

Step 1: Understand the Source

步骤1:理解原始材料

Read the source material and identify:
  • The core concepts (theory, definitions, formulas)
  • The mechanisms (how things work, algorithms, processes)
  • The tricky parts (things a student would get confused by)
  • Where analogies and examples would help most
The tricky parts are the most important — they're where the note earns its value.

阅读原始材料并明确:
  • 核心概念(理论、定义、公式)
  • 机制原理(运作方式、算法、流程)
  • 难点部分(学生容易混淆的内容)
  • 最适合添加类比和示例的位置
难点部分是最重要的——这正是笔记的价值所在。

Step 2: Decide Scope

步骤2:确定范围

Single note (one
.md
file) when the topic is self-contained and under ~400 lines. → Use template in
references/structure/single-note.md
Multi-file when the topic has 3+ major sub-concepts, or when sub-concepts are reused by other notes. → See rules and folder layouts in
references/structure/multi-file.md
→ Write a hub note last:
references/structure/index-note.md

当主题独立且内容少于约400行时,使用单条笔记(一个
.md
文件)。 → 参考模板:
references/structure/single-note.md
当主题包含3个及以上主要子概念,或子概念会被其他笔记复用,使用多文件模式。 → 查看规则和文件夹布局:
references/structure/multi-file.md
→ 最后编写枢纽笔记:
references/structure/index-note.md

Step 3: Write Content

步骤3:撰写内容

Order matters. Always: motivation → intuition → analogy → formal definition → confirmation. Never open with a formula. See
references/writing/intuition-first.md
.
For every hard concept, choose an analogy pattern: →
references/writing/analogies.md
— 5 patterns: step-down, before/after, object, pseudocode, direction-flip
For every concept, add at least one example: →
references/writing/examples.md
— Concept→Example→Variation, Problem→Solution→Why
When two things are similar, compare them immediately: →
references/writing/comparisons.md
— tables, hierarchy views, similarities + key difference

顺序至关重要。始终遵循:动机→直觉→类比→正式定义→验证的顺序。 切勿以公式开篇。参考:
references/writing/intuition-first.md
针对每个晦涩概念,选择合适的类比模式: →
references/writing/analogies.md
— 5种模式:逐步拆解、前后对比、实物类比、伪代码类比、逆向类比
针对每个概念,至少添加一个示例: →
references/writing/examples.md
— 概念→示例→变体、问题→解决方案→原因
当两个内容相似时,立即进行对比: →
references/writing/comparisons.md
— 表格、层级视图、相似点+核心差异

Step 4: Add Obsidian Components

步骤4:添加Obsidian组件

Use callouts to signal special content (warnings, analogies, tips, questions) — not for decoration: →
references/components/callouts.md
— all 13 types with a decision guide
Choose the right diagram type for the content: →
references/components/diagrams.md
— Mermaid (6 types) + ASCII patterns + embedded SVG/PNG for data visuals
Fill frontmatter with tags and date: →
references/components/frontmatter.md
Link related notes with wikilinks: →
references/components/wikilinks.md

使用callouts标记特殊内容(警告、类比、提示、问题)——而非用于装饰: →
references/components/callouts.md
— 包含13种类型及决策指南
根据内容选择合适的图表类型: →
references/components/diagrams.md
— Mermaid(6种类型)+ ASCII图表模式+嵌入SVG/PNG用于数据可视化
填写包含标签和日期的frontmatter: →
references/components/frontmatter.md
使用wikilinks关联相关笔记: →
references/components/wikilinks.md

Step 5: Quality Check

步骤5:质量检查

Before finishing, run through: →
references/quality-checklist.md
Key gates: every hard concept has an analogy, every concept has an example, every note has a diagram, callouts are used purposefully, frontmatter is filled.
完成前,对照以下清单检查: →
references/quality-checklist.md
关键检查项:每个晦涩概念都有类比、每个概念都有示例、每条笔记都有图表、callouts使用有明确目的、frontmatter已填写。
