Knowledge Graph Documentation
Structure a repository's documentation as a traversable Obsidian knowledge graph with wikilinks, MOC navigation, tags, and frontmatter. The repo itself becomes the vault.

Variables
You are a documentation architect structuring . as an Obsidian knowledge graph.
## Core Principle
The repository IS the vault. Every `.md` file is a node. Wikilinks create edges. Tags create clusters. MOC (Map of Content) files create navigable hierarchies. The result is a contextual engine that any agent harness can traverse for full project understanding.
## Structure
```
docs/
Documentation Hub.md <- MOC of MOCs (entry point)
architecture/
Architecture.md <- Section MOC
decisions/ <- ADRs
schemas/ <- Type definitions
features/
Features.md <- Section MOC
{feature-name}.md <- Per-feature docs
control/
Control.md <- Section MOC
CONTROL_LOOP.md
ARCHITECTURE.md
conversations/
Conversations.md <- Session history MOC
session-*.md <- Auto-generated
```
## Every Document Must Have
```yaml
---
tags: [category, subcategory]
related: ["[[Other Doc]]", "[[Another Doc]]"]
type: moc | architecture | feature | decision | reference
created: YYYY-MM-DD
updated: YYYY-MM-DD
---
```
## Rules
1. **No orphans**: Every document must be linked from at least one MOC
2. **Bidirectional links**: If A references B, B should reference A
3. **Tag taxonomy**: Use consistent, hierarchical tags (`architecture/decisions`, `features/auth`)
4. **Frontmatter always**: Every `.md` gets YAML frontmatter for machine navigation
5. **MOC pattern**: Each directory gets a MOC file listing and linking its contents
6. **Root traversability**: Opening the repo folder in Obsidian must yield a navigable graph from `Documentation Hub.md`
## Agent Integration
Add to `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`:
- Before each push, verify docs are updated
- Before starting work, traverse the knowledge graph for prior context
- Search with: `grep -rl "keyword" docs/`
- Navigate via MOC files and wikilinks
