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.
