Thanks for sharing! Easy to follow instructions.

I can see the PARA structure and perhaps a bit of Zettelkasten in the peripheral (but that might be my own bias).

I'm using a similar system (here's a link) https://blog.hampusadamsson.com/blog/How%20I%20Manage%20Note...

And also a custom plugin to do parts of the LLM (here's another shameless link) lifting: https://github.com/hampusadamsson/modai

(I missed adding my question and now I don'tknow how to edit my previous reply)

What I'm curious about and something I'm struggling with myself: are you feeling that the productive uplift of offloading work to an LLM limits the gain of managing a second brain like this?

I'm not sure if I am understanding your question,

Is it something like: if we delegate management, we could lose awareness of the knowledge contained in the notes?

Inbox Processing Workflow - GTD-style system to keep your inbox at zero, with AI classification of notes to projects, resources, or someday/maybe lists.

Incomplete Tasks Review Workflow - weekly review that analyzes your tasks, identifies gaps, detects duplicates, and generates a focused "plan of attack" with your highest-priority actions.

Both workflows combine classic productivity principles (GTD, weekly reviews) with AI assistance to reduce cognitive load and maintain system trust. They use command-line tools (find, ripgrep) to analyze your vault and generate processing recommendations in an easy-to-review card format.

Use at your own risk. Validate each command before executing it. It is strongly recommended to use a version control system (Git) in your Obsidian vault to visualize and revert changes made by the agent.

Any suggestions to improve these workflows are appreciated.

I'd enjoy seeing a video of this being used in the intended way and to good effect (because I'm confident that my conception of how it works is inaccurate).
