When to Use This Skill

何时使用该方法

Invoke when building academic study materials in Obsidian for:
  • Final exam preparation (any subject)
  • Course knowledge organization (CS, medicine, business, law, etc.)
  • Self-study material structuring
  • Technical documentation vaults
  • Large-scale study projects (10+ files, 200KB+)
Works across all subjects:
  • Computer Science (algorithms, data structures, systems)
  • Medicine (anatomy, pharmacology, pathology)
  • Business (finance, marketing, operations)
  • STEM (physics, chemistry, engineering)
  • Humanities (history, literature, philosophy)

当你需要在Obsidian中构建以下类型的学术学习资料时,可使用本方法:
  • 期末备考(任意学科)
  • 课程知识梳理(计算机科学、医学、商科、法学等)
  • 自学资料结构化整理
  • 技术文档库
  • 大型学习项目(10个以上文件,200KB以上内容)
适用于所有学科:
  • 计算机科学(算法、数据结构、系统)
  • 医学(解剖学、药理学、病理学)
  • 商科(金融、营销、运营)
  • 理工科(物理、化学、工程)
  • 人文社科(历史、文学、哲学)

Core Methodology

核心方法论

Checkpoint-Based Workflow (Critical)

基于检查点的工作流(关键)

Never generate all chapters upfront. Use progressive validation:
  1. Chapter 1 Generation → STOP
  2. User Review → Approve format, structure, quality
  3. Chapters 2-N → Continue with validated pattern
  4. Final QA → Systematic verification
Why this matters:
  • Catches format issues before they multiply across 30+ files
  • Validates approach matches user needs early
  • Adjusts course when cheap (Chapter 1) vs expensive (Chapter 8)
  • Prevents 5+ hours of rework
Time breakdown: Chapter 1 (~30 min) → Review (~15 min) → Remaining (~90 min) → QA (~30 min) = 2.5 hours vs 80 hours manual
切勿一次性生成所有章节。 采用渐进式验证流程:
  1. 生成第1章 → 暂停
  2. 用户审核 → 确认格式、结构、质量
  3. 生成第2至N章 → 沿用已验证的模式
  4. 最终质量检测 → 系统性验证
该流程的重要性:
  • 在格式问题扩散到30个以上文件前及时发现
  • 尽早验证方案是否符合用户需求
  • 在成本较低的阶段(第1章)调整方向,而非后期(第8章)
  • 避免5小时以上的返工
时间分配: 第1章(约30分钟)→ 审核(约15分钟)→ 剩余章节(约90分钟)→ 质量检测(约30分钟)= 总计2.5小时,相比手动整理节省80小时以上

Memory File Hierarchy

记忆文件层级结构

Three-level context structure (see REFERENCE.md for details):
  • Level 1: Root vault (
    CLAUDE.md
    )
  • Level 2: Subject folder (
    School/CLAUDE.md
    )
  • Level 3: Course project (
    School/algorithms/CLAUDE.md
    )

三级上下文结构(详情请查看REFERENCE.md):
  • 一级: 根库目录(
    CLAUDE.md
  • 二级: 学科文件夹(
    School/CLAUDE.md
  • 三级: 课程项目(
    School/algorithms/CLAUDE.md

Universal Obsidian Features (Mobile-First)

通用Obsidian功能(移动端优先)

Use only: Mermaid diagrams, LaTeX math, standard callouts, internal links, tables, code blocks ❌ Never use: Dataview queries, custom callouts, plugins
See REFERENCE.md for complete patterns.

仅使用: Mermaid图表、LaTeX公式、标准提示框、内部链接、表格、代码块 ❌ 禁止使用: Dataview查询、自定义提示框、插件
完整模式请查看REFERENCE.md。

Error Pattern Recognition (8 Patterns)

错误模式识别(8种模式)

Pattern 1: Unicode Corruption in Mermaid

模式1:Mermaid中的Unicode损坏

  • Symptom: Diagrams fail to render
  • Diagnosis:
    grep -r "≤\|≥\|∞\|∈\|≠\|→" *.md
  • Fix: Replace with ASCII (
    <=
    ,
    >=
    ,
    infinity
    ,
    in
    ,
    !=
    ,
    ->
    )
  • 症状: 图表无法渲染
  • 诊断:
    grep -r "≤\|≥\|∞\|∈\|≠\|→" *.md
  • 修复: 替换为ASCII字符(
    <=
    ,
    >=
    ,
    infinity
    ,
    in
    ,
    !=
    ,
    ->

Pattern 2: Broken Tables (LaTeX Pipes)

模式2:损坏的表格(LaTeX管道符)

  • Diagnosis:
    grep -r "| \$.*|.*\$" *.md
  • Fix: Escape pipes:
    |
    \|
  • 诊断:
    grep -r "| \$.*|.*\$" *.md
  • 修复: 转义管道符:
    |
    \|

Pattern 3: Missing Collapsible Solutions

模式3:缺失可折叠的解决方案

  • Diagnosis:
    grep -A 5 "## Problem" practice-problems.md | grep -v "\[!example\]-"
  • Fix: Use
    > [!example]- Solution
  • 诊断:
    grep -A 5 "## Problem" practice-problems.md | grep -v "\[!example\]-"
  • 修复: 使用格式
    > [!example]- Solution

Pattern 4-8: See REFERENCE.md

模式4-8:请查看REFERENCE.md

  • Inconsistent navigation
  • Missing learning objectives
  • Inconsistent TOC
  • Empty core concepts
  • Broken cross-references
Complete systematic fix approach in REFERENCE.md.

  • 导航不一致
  • 缺失学习目标
  • 目录不一致
  • 核心概念为空
  • 交叉引用损坏
完整的系统性修复方案请查看REFERENCE.md。

Content Quality Patterns

内容质量标准

Applied Understanding (Not Memorization)

应用理解(而非死记硬背)

Good questions:
  • "Design [system] for [context]. Current [problem]. Describe solution to achieve [goal]. Analyze trade-offs and justify."
Adapts to subject:
  • CS: Algorithm design scenarios
  • Medicine: Case-based diagnosis
  • Business: Strategic analysis
  • Physics: Experimental design
优质问题示例:
  • "针对[场景]设计[系统]。当前存在[问题]。描述实现[目标]的解决方案,分析权衡并给出理由。"
适配不同学科:
  • 计算机科学:算法设计场景
  • 医学:病例诊断
  • 商科:战略分析
  • 物理:实验设计

Comprehensive Coverage

全面覆盖

Every topic from source materials must appear. Validation: cross-reference source outline with vault TOC.
源资料中的每个主题都必须涵盖。验证方式:将源资料大纲与库目录交叉比对。

Cross-Reference Pattern

交叉引用模式

Link related concepts everywhere with
[[links]]
.
See REFERENCE.md for complete examples.

使用
[[链接]]
在所有相关概念间建立关联。
完整示例请查看REFERENCE.md。

Quality Assurance (Summary)

质量保障(摘要)

Before marking complete:
  • Structural consistency (navigation, objectives, TOC)
  • Content completeness (all topics covered)
  • Format correctness (no Unicode in Mermaid, LaTeX pipes escaped)
  • Mobile compatibility (no plugins)
  • Assessment alignment (practice matches exam style)
See REFERENCE.md for complete 50+ item checklist.

标记完成前需确认:
  • 结构一致性(导航、目标、目录)
  • 内容完整性(覆盖所有主题)
  • 格式正确性(Mermaid中无Unicode,LaTeX管道符已转义)
  • 移动端兼容性(未使用插件)
  • 评估匹配度(练习题符合考试风格)
完整的50+项检查清单请查看REFERENCE.md。

Common Anti-Patterns

常见反模式

  1. "I'll Fix It Later" → Fix immediately
  2. Generating Without Checkpoints → Chapter 1 → Review → Continue
  3. Forgetting Mobile Users → Universal features only
  4. Surface-Level Practice → Scenario-based with reasoning

  1. “以后再修复” → 立即修复
  2. 无检查点直接生成所有内容 → 先做第1章→审核→再继续
  3. 忽略移动端用户 → 仅使用通用功能
  4. 表面化练习 → 基于场景设计并包含推理过程
