Obsidian behavior map

Purpose

This page maps Obsidian into reusable research lanes for future agent work.

Source clusters

Editing modes and markdown surface

• editing-modes-and-markdown-surface.md

Linking, navigation, and search

• linking-navigation-and-search.md

Developer editor-extension surface

• developer-editor-extension-surface.md

Footnotes and block links

• footnotes-and-block-links.md

Current role in Plate

Obsidian is most useful as:

• a product reference for live preview vs source mode
• a product reference for linked-note navigation and backlinks
• a developer reference for editor-extension layering

It is not the primary markdown-native authority and it is not the primary open-source executable cross-check.
