Aloysius Productions Knowledge Vault

Central repository for documented learnings, decisions, patterns, and references across all Aloysius Productions projects. Built on Obsidian with bidirectional linking and automated validation.

Key Decisions

Decision	Rationale	Outcome
Obsidian-based wiki format	Bidirectional links enable knowledge discovery	Good
Frontmatter metadata on all files	Enables automation and validation	Good
Separate folders for projects/references/patterns	Clear organizational taxonomy	Good
Automated link validation	Prevent broken references and orphaned content	Good
Kebab-case filenames	URL-safe, consistent with Obsidian conventions	Good

Patterns Established

Pattern	Description	Reusable
Decision log format	Table-based decision tracking with rationale and outcome	Yes
Lessons learned format	Context + impact structure for retrospective knowledge	Yes
Project page template	Standardized structure for project documentation	Yes
Bidirectional link validation	CI check for broken wiki-style links	Yes
Frontmatter schema enforcement	Required fields validated on commit	Yes

Lessons Learned

Lesson	Context	Impact
Manual curation causes drift	Project statuses and links went stale	Implement automated validation
Obsidian links need target validation	Easy to create links to non-existent pages	Added link validation workflow
Knowledge capture must be low-friction	High-effort documentation gets skipped	Established quick capture patterns
Consistent naming enables automation	Inconsistent filenames broke link resolution	Enforced kebab-case convention

Technical Debt

Item	Priority	Notes
No full-text search in CI	Low	Obsidian provides this locally
Missing project page templates	Low	Create scaffolding script
