Authoring workflow

Every page you’re reading was written in Obsidian, committed with obsidian-git, and rendered by Astro Starlight on Vercel. This section is the operating manual.

Creating a new post Where files live, .md vs .mdx, and the first ten seconds of a new note.

Starting a series How subfolders become sidebar sections — zero config needed.

Frontmatter cheatsheet Every field the schema accepts, with copy-paste snippets.

Shortcuts My Obsidian hotkeys + the default ones I use every day.

Sidebar & badges Why the sidebar looks clean, and how to add badges without cluttering it.

Read once, keep the tab open

Nothing here is memorisation. Skim once, then reach for it when a specific problem shows up — dates not showing, sidebar duplicating, badge in the wrong place.
