wiki-mode
wiki-mode lets you pick an organizational methodology—LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, or Generic—and store it in `.vault-meta/mode.json` so wiki-ingest, save, and autoresearch route new pages consistently. Set your mode once with an interactive setup script; switching modes later only affects newly-filed pages. Each methodology ships with templates and folder conventions tailored to its philosophy.
wiki-mode lets you declare an organizational methodology (LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, or Generic) that guides how new pages file across your vault.

How do I organize my Obsidian vault with wiki-mode?
wiki-mode lets you pick an organizational methodology—LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, or Generic—and store it in `.vault-meta/mode.json` so wiki-ingest, save, and autoresearch route new pages consistently. Run the interactive setup script once to declare your chosen methodology, and wiki-mode will apply its folder conventions and templates automatically to all newly-filed pages.
What's the difference between LYT, PARA, and Zettelkasten in wiki-mode?
wiki-mode supports four filing conventions. LYT (Linking Your Thinking) emphasizes Maps of Content and bidirectional linking. PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive) organizes by life domains and project status. Zettelkasten uses ID-based atomic notes with structured linking. Generic provides a flexible baseline. Each ships with methodology-specific templates and folder structures tailored to its philosophy.
How do I set up LYT linking your thinking in wiki-mode?
wiki-mode's setup script lets you declare LYT as your vault methodology. Once configured, wiki-mode stores this choice in `.vault-meta/mode.json`. New pages then route to LYT-aligned folders, and you gain access to LYT templates including Maps of Content (MOC) structures and bidirectional linking patterns that wiki-ingest and autoresearch will apply consistently.
Can I switch my vault organization mode later, and what happens?
Yes. wiki-mode lets you switch between LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, and Generic at any time by updating `.vault-meta/mode.json` or re-running the setup script. Switching modes only affects newly-filed pages going forward; existing notes remain untouched. This lets you experiment with different methodologies without disrupting your current vault.
What vault mode am I currently using with wiki-mode?
wiki-mode stores your active methodology in `.vault-meta/mode.json`. Check that file to see whether you're running LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, or Generic mode. This configuration tells wiki-ingest, save, and autoresearch which folder structure and templates to apply when routing and creating new pages.
How does wiki-mode route new pages to the correct folder structure?
wiki-mode reads your declared methodology from `.vault-meta/mode.json` and uses it to guide wiki-ingest, save, and autoresearch. Each methodology has its own folder conventions—LYT uses MOC hierarchies, PARA uses project/area/resource/archive buckets, Zettelkasten uses ID-based filing. New pages automatically route to the correct folders based on your active mode.

wiki-mode: Methodology Modes for the Compound Vault
The v1.6 + v1.7 vault structure was opinion-free — wiki/sources/, wiki/entities/, wiki/concepts/, and so on. That works for power-users with their own organizational instincts. It does NOT serve the large segment of Obsidian users who want a named methodology to follow.
v1.8 ships wiki-mode to close that gap. A vault declares a mode (LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten, or Generic) in .vault-meta/mode.json; the other skills consult it before deciding where to file new pages.
