Obsidian Project Lifecycle

Use the shared helper script for deterministic lifecycle operations.

Role in the workflow

This is a supporting skill under obsidian-project-memory.

Use it for project-level state changes and, when needed, note-level removal or rename flows.

Project-level commands

python3 ../obsidian-project-memory/scripts/project_kb.py lifecycle --cwd "$PWD" --mode detach
python3 ../obsidian-project-memory/scripts/project_kb.py lifecycle --cwd "$PWD" --mode archive
python3 ../obsidian-project-memory/scripts/project_kb.py lifecycle --cwd "$PWD" --mode purge

Note-level command

python3 ../obsidian-project-memory/scripts/project_kb.py note-lifecycle --cwd "$PWD" --mode archive --note "Results/Old-Result.md"
python3 ../obsidian-project-memory/scripts/project_kb.py note-lifecycle --cwd "$PWD" --mode purge --note "Results/Old-Result.md"
python3 ../obsidian-project-memory/scripts/project_kb.py note-lifecycle --cwd "$PWD" --mode rename --note "Experiments/Old-Name.md" --dest "Experiments/New-Name.md"

Policy

Detach: stop syncing, keep vault content.
Archive: default for “remove this project's knowledge”; move the project to Archive/ and disable syncing.
Purge: only when the user explicitly requests permanent deletion.
Rename / move: treat as update plus link repair, not delete plus create.

Always summarize what was removed, what was preserved, and whether auto-sync remains enabled.
