Creating Obsidian Templates

Create templates for the Second Brain Obsidian vault that work with the core Templates plugin.

Template Location

All templates go in:

content/_obsidian-templates/

This directory is excluded from Nuxt Content (configured in

content.config.ts

Template Format

Templates use Obsidian's template syntax:

```
{{date}}
```
- Current date (YYYY-MM-DD)
```
{{date:format}}
```
- Custom format (e.g.,
```
{{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}
```
)
```
{{time}}
```
- Current time
```
{{title}}
```
- Note title

Workflow

Understand the use case: Ask what the template is for if unclear
Check existing templates:
```
ls content/_obsidian-templates/
```
Research structure (if external format): Fetch examples from the web
Create template: Write to
```
content/_obsidian-templates/{name}.md
```
Verify: Confirm template is valid markdown
