Obsidian Synthesis Map
This is a legacy compatibility helper.
Despite the name, the current default workflow focuses on synthesis notes, not Bases or Canvas artifacts.
Default outputs
Writing/ synthesis notes
project summaries tied to Knowledge/, Papers/, Experiments/, and Results/
comparison notes that help writing, planning, or result interpretation
Guidelines
Use obsidian-project-memory as the main workflow authority.
Use $obsidian-markdown for note quality.
Keep synthesis notes anchored to real papers, experiments, results, and project questions via wikilinks.
Prefer one durable synthesis note per purpose instead of many overlapping summaries.
If the user explicitly asks for .base or .canvas artifacts, treat them as optional add-ons, not default outputs.
Default stance
Do not generate:
Views/*.base
Maps/*.canvas
unless the user explicitly asks for those artifacts.
