Create an Audio Transcriber, with extra layers of value

Github Splash Page for Content Farm

An in-repo Astro site that turns the content-farm pseudomonorepo into a public landing page — hero, plugin gallery, changelog and context-v rendering — deployed for free off GitHub Pages while we wait for a real marketing surface.

Stenographer: an Obsidian Plugin that Transcribes Audio Content

Drop a YouTube, SoundCloud, or other listenable link into Obsidian and Stenographer turns it into a fully-frontmattered note with a streaming, AI-generated transcript — sources become searchable knowledge in one move.

Citation Acquisition Pipeline — Agent Architecture, Phases, Output Contract

The HOW for filling the Lossless Citation schema. Decouples the capture moment (a URL pasted into a doc) from the canonicalization moment (the source promoted into the knowledge base). Specifies the agent that does the work: where it runs, what tools it has, what phases it executes, what it emits, how it fails gracefully, and how multiple clients (Obsidian plugin, CLI, Investment Memo Orchestrator) share the same agent.

Citation Field Acquisition Guide — Per-Field Reference for Filling the Lossless Schema

The operational reference for the citation acquisition agent. For each field in the Lossless Citation schema: where the value comes from, the cheap path the agent should try first, the expensive path it falls back to, the validation rule, the failure behavior, and the publisher_types that warrant filling it. Designed to be loaded as prompt context for the agent and as a checklist for human reviewers.

Lossless Citation Standards — Schema, Audiences, Portability Thesis

The schema layer of the Lossless citation system: what fields exist, why each exists, which audiences and source types each serves, and how the schema is designed to outlive any one rendering target. This is the WHAT and WHY. For HOW the schema gets filled, see Citation-Acquisition-Pipeline.md and Citation-Field-Acquisition-Guide.md.

A Component Inserter

An Obsidian command that scaffolds the right block — HTML, codefence, callout, embed — at the cursor, with frontmatter-driven defaults. Makes Lossless Flavored Markdown extension blocks feel like first-class citizens of the editor instead of patterns you have to remember.

Create a Study of the Best Obsidian Plugins

Before we ship more plugins of our own, take a deliberate read of what's working in the Obsidian community. Catalog the plugins doing the most interesting work, what they get right, what we'd do differently, and which ideas are worth borrowing.

Image Drop Confirmation Gate

An Obsidian plugin that intercepts every image drag-drop and paste, then asks — before anything touches the disk or the network — where this image should go. The default is the vault. The point is to make the decision deliberate, because some of the imagery we work with is private and a chart on imgur is a phone call we don't want to make.

Add a New API Provider to a Metadata-Fetching Plugin

Reusable prompt for wiring a new third-party metadata API (e.g. Microlink, Jina Reader, OpenGraph.io) into an Obsidian plugin like Metafetch as an additional fetcher, without breaking the existing flows.

Renaming a Repo and managing Downstream Effects

It's not as simple as renaming the github path.

Tidy Naming — Repo Mentions of 'Obsidian' and 'Plugin'

Obsidian's community-plugin guidelines forbid using 'Obsidian' or 'Plugin' in the brand name (repo, manifest, README, description). Several of our repos still do. A punch list of what to rename, where, and why we held off until now.

Lossless-Citation-Spec

Obsidian Marketplace Compliance — Rules the Review Bot Enforces

Source-of-truth for the patterns that get a Lossless plugin past `ObsidianReviewBot` on a community-marketplace submission PR. Read before opening any re-submission, and ideally before writing the code that will be submitted. Companion to cite-wide's `Obsidian-Type-Safety.md` (which covers the `any`-rule). Distilled from the review bot's verbatim feedback on perplexed PR #12513.

Obsidian Plugin Type Safety — Rules, Patterns, and Cite-Wide Conventions

Reference document for everyone (human or AI) working in the cite-wide codebase. Captures the actual rejection criteria from Obsidian's community plugin review, the patterns we use to satisfy them, and the YAML-frontmatter coercion strategy that keeps content-creator drift from breaking the type system.

Citation Resolution and the Canonical Source

Three problems that look separate — link-rot recovery, smart cite-wide save with lookup-before-create, and content preservation as a future RAG corpus — are actually three operations on one underlying entity. This doc names that entity, sketches the data model, and proposes a v1 scope.
