Decided: Git-based sync via Obsidian Git plugin (FR-020 decision)
Pending: Mobile app — Obsidian Mobile (iOS/Android) or just view via synced files?
Pending: Plugin scope — minimal (just what’s needed) or full power-user setup?
Pending: Workflow Control blocks — custom plugin or use existing community plugin (like Buttons/Templater)?
User Tasks
Summary
Set up Obsidian as the primary vault viewer/editor on laptop and phone, with plugins that make FR specs interactive and the vault navigable.
Problem / Motivation
Currently vault files are opened as plain Markdown — no Obsidian features (backlinks, graph view, templates, interactive controls). This means:
No visual overview of vault structure or connections
No interactive workflow controls in FR specs (Nexie has nexus-uc-actions blocks)
No mobile editing with Obsidian’s polished UI
Templates aren’t auto-applied via Obsidian’s Templater
No quick capture via Obsidian on phone
Proposed Solution
Install and configure Obsidian on laptop (and phone via Obsidian Mobile), set up a curated plugin stack, and create a Workflow Control integration that renders action buttons inside FR specs.
Core plugins:
Plugin
Purpose
Templater
Auto-apply FR template with date/ID variables

Buttons
Interactive buttons in FR specs (Approve, Reject, Implement)
Kanban
Visual board view of feature lifecycle stages
Tasks
Checkbox tracking across vault with queries
Git
Commit/push from within Obsidian
QuickAdd
Fast capture: ideas, FRs, inbox items from a hotkey

Workflow Control blocks:
Using the Buttons plugin (or a custom plugin), FR specs get interactive controls:
