# Obsidian Paper Vault
Converts a folder of research PDFs into a two-layer Obsidian vault: **literature notes**
(one per paper, templated) and **atomic concept notes** (synthesized across papers).
## Relationship to /lit-sync
Both skills write literature and concept notes into the same vault folders. They enter from
opposite ends and must not overwrite each other.
