- Templater is the most critical community plugin in this vault. It extends Obsidian’s built-in template system with a full scripting engine — dynamic dates, prompts, user-defined functions, and folder-triggered auto-insertion.
# Syntax
<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") %>— insert formatted date<% tp.file.title %>— current file name<% await tp.system.prompt("Enter value") %>— interactive input prompt<% tp.file.cursor() %>— place cursor after template insertion
# Folder Templates
- Templater can automatically apply a template when a new note is created inside a specific folder (configured under Templater → Folder Templates)
# Templates in This Vault
- All templates live in
templates/definitions/and use<% %>syntax - Available templates:
Daily Template.md,Monthly Template.md,Generic Template.md,Finance Template.md,CS Template.md,ML AI Template.md,Work Template.md,Personal Template.md
